Bitterly disappointed

If you want to emphasize stale gameplay, Join Battle of Britain. 3 hours? More like 30 mins because the Luftwaffe do not get second lives in fighters. AND RAF pilots only get second lives if someone is coming to rescue you in a PT boat, C-47, or Jeep.

Then why are you playing in it?

The sights not letting me register but I am flying a Bomber in it.

Rich, you are with me in He 111's -- don't fear, you are all set! <S>

[Bruv119]

no event would be complete without Perdweeb having his say,

I tend to do my talking in the air and I do hope he is out there somewhere over the channel,  passing through a thick set of clouds when he cries out

"Achtung Spitfire!!!"   and his poor 109 gets rat ta ta tat tat straight into the cockpit,   blood splatter everywhere and an oil leak for his troubles, will the young ambitious 109 pilot Survive??   only time will tell!    

thanks for the responses we will do our best to get everyone squared away.

I've been trying to recruit friends and ex-squaddies but the time commitment seems to be the main thing deterring people. Hopefully we'll get a lot of walk-ons.

I played both frames of the TDIH warmup (once on each side)  and it was a blast. All you folks who say you'd fly Early or Mid War if those arenas ever had decent participation, this is your chance! The same goes for people who want more realistic gameplay. Realistic missions with coordinated action of dozens of pilots and more historically accurate goals and tactics! No HOing and ramming everything in sight and grabbing a new plane 5 seconds after dying!

Unless you have work or some other commitment that makes participating impossible, I don't see how anyone who truly loves WW2 aviation history can stand to sit this one out.

I tried to understand them and failed. So I asked questions, they sent me back to the rules that i was too dumb to comprehend the first time. Then, I finally convince them to tell me and 4 CM's told me something different.

My CO told me that. I had to call upon God to straighten it out. Luckily, I have new knowledge no thanks to you. But i do appreciate your input.

In all fairness to Perdue there was some confusion as to the interpretation of the rules. In the last twenty-four hours I thought I understood them, then I didn't, then I did, then I didn't, now hopefully I do.

Here's the problem SIK.  Perdweeb says he's flown the last two B of B events in 2008 and 2006.  This was stated when he was ripping us about the use of the He-111 this time around.  We didn't change a thing on the rescue and the second life stuff from the original write up by Tilt in 2004.  So what old Perd is saying is he was clueless on how this worked the last two times he flew the B of B scenario. 

In the end as far as I can tell he's not happy unless he's ripping whatever event there is at the moment. 

How could he fly two B of B Scenarios previously and not have figured this out?  We didn't change it!

On the contrary sir, we/he don't rip all events.

Glad you're back Guppy!

Ignoring the 'here's what I think is wrong with the event (this time)' thing,
the responses I'm seeing in the thread indicate a time of day issue for most:




I hate to say so but the overall drop in available bodies (for one reason
or another) may require dropping the available slots (sigh - and I know
the German side filled fast and has more).

Without the necessary recruits, I don't see another option.

Back then, I just flew. I hopped on, said "where we at?" Grabbed the plane and killed everybody. I didnt even have a forum account. Then...Scenarios started getting really pathetic. So I made a forum account, joined FSO, etc. Now I am perdweeb.

I never got rescued btw.

[Bruv119]

arlo nice table! 

except it is Saturday 7th September at those times

Missed it by that much.  Table should still suffice.

So your observations of the past B of B scenarios should be then filtered through the lens of not really paying much attention to detail.  Didn't read or comprehend the rules either time then?  It's a good thing your job is simple then.  You should do well at it.

Rule 4 break^^

Just stop, Perd. You really didn't have any business hopping into a scenario recruitment
thread to discourage volunteers in the first place. Granted, it drew the negative attention
you apparently crave but it's just not all about you. Even the insecurity/persecution card
you seem to think you're justified to play. It's a rather tired modus operandi.
