Thank you Squire. You guys are a bit limited by distance details especially in Germany. Japan scenario was late so most everything SE of Japan was friendly. Just took the write up literally. It will be an interesting FSO.

Good luck everyone.  :salute

:O

Not to apply pressure on the CMs, JG11 or G3-MF...


...Looks like there is a bit of unfinished business between KCDitto & BFOOT1...   :t

If JG11 is willing, G3-MF would be willing to volunteer for Frame CiC one of those weeks in which I would have BFOOT1 do Allied planning if KCDitto did JG11's planning (assuming they want to be Axis).

I would request it be frame 3.  BFOOT1 should be home from school for the holidays.  I would help to guide BFOOT1 to ensure all of the requirements have been met.

Let those two war it out for a night!  Any thoughts???  Agree???  Disagree???

Thanks SlipKnot,

But this story goes back many a scenario and FSO battle in the AIR. BFOOT1 and I have tangled on many a fight and niether of us has gotten a kill on the other. Planes have been damaged and chased home but only to land safely. So there has been friendly banter back and forth as while the event is going on, niether of us knew WHO we were fighting and only later while watching film do we realize that DAMN that was BFOOT1 and I MISSED!

So while I like to be involved in planning, I am looking forward to the fight in the sky and do HOPE that I can get a Ta-152 H1 against his P-51    :salute

I feel that the No Fly Zone is a bit too close to the targets. But we will see how it plays out.

Should be a pretty cool setup. I don't see it as lopsided as some are playing it out to be. TA-152s and K4s are both fully capable high altitude interceptors. Luft boys have radar, more fighters, and know which targets are going to be hit. I it turns lopside, Perhaps make the 29s irreplaceable? ie If the pilot fails to land, that set of 29s isn't available in the next frame. Might make it a little more interesting.

Oh yes indeed, in DGS II we ended up fighting each other in at least two different frames. In Battle of Britain, I collided with his wingman, in a recent FSO over the summer I nailed his 190 in my B-17, but he got home. As stated we have dueled on numerous occasions. Hopefully we will meet again this time with a victor.

Hate no fly zones myself...but I think the way Bino has it set up it will be a non issue.

Should be a pretty cool setup. I don't see it as lopsided as some are playing it out to be. TA-152s and K4s are both fully capable high altitude interceptors. Luft boys have radar, more fighters, and know which targets are going to be hit.

Agreed.  So maybe some more bombs reach target...and maybe some more bombers make it home. More fun there I would think. We'll see.

The rest of the setup is business as usual...just with more of the planes we all enjoy.  Looks like a Win/Win.

Not a bad way to finish out another great year of FSO.

Just thinking the Axis forces might need some help against the Superforts.

Man, I am really looking forward to this upcoming FSO.  I don't really care who wins, never do, but I bet it will be a fun challenge.

Hey fellas,

I am of the opinion that it is a good idea to go ahead and upload the "Germany" terrain now.   That way folks can go in sometime this week and download the terrain if they need too (i know we can get it from the HTC DL page too).  My squad has a bunch of procrastinators and some will inevitably wait till T-10 to login to get the terrain :lol

You can also grab the terrain any old time via the "Custom Arena" setup online.  Just go create your own little arena, and specify the terrain map you want, "germany".  That map will download to your computer.  Then simply log off.  After a few minutes inactivity, the host server will shut down your custom setup.
