I've posted this before, but a long time ago I tried to set something up using the AHWiki.  It just doesn't seem to have any long term interest.  Being on AHWiki it is open to any one with a forum account to keep updated.

One thing jumps right out.

There are 40 Squads on that list from 2012.  We had 32 Squads Friday Night.  Less squads equates to more bomber assignments for all...all other things remaining equal.

maybe the Cm's can keep that list more up to date for us. then they could send out that list as part of the objectives, so that CiC's would have all the information they need in one place. This way the CiC's can better assign squads to planes that are more of their liking.

This way there's a record of what each group flew for the last 6 frames.


Good for you. Hopefully future CiCs will make sure you and your imagination get to pull the majority of buff assignments. It'll give you more chances to pat yourself on the back.

its ok pops, i know he meant it in the nicest possible way. coming from shifty, its almost a compliment! hehehe I know where he's coming from and dont blame him, he just likes to use me as a dartboard! its ok with me.

In my opinion, not speaking as the CMCO or for the FSO Admins, the FSO is set up for the players to have a fun place to play for a couple of hours on Friday nights. The Admins spend a large amount of their free time to design them, and the Setups spend their share of time getting the arena set up and running them.

It seems like not too much to ask that the players involved in CiC duties, if they really cared about it, to keep that list up to date and take a little time to find out past squad assignments and factor that into their orders to keep from having some squads tasked with bomber duty 5 out of 7 frames, and things like that.

Some squads are well-known for taking the time and creating detailed and fair orders, others are known for doing just enough to tell squads what they're flying and where they're supposed to be. The event is for the players; it becomes what they make of it.

I sent a remnder out already to the squads at the beggining of the year to review past assignments in the logs and make the effort to be fair with strike duty.

To this weeks Axis CiC. The columns he added to this weeks ride assignment spreadsheet satisfied me just fine. What was flown the first two frames and this weeks ride. Could be used as a template for the next CiC, just pass it forward start over on frame one.  :cheers:

Gentlemen,

Please feel free to use the Spreadsheet to your heart's content...the Nightmares have been using something like it for years.

Filling in the data available from the AH Events FSO page is a little time consuming, but it is very handy for at-a-glance reference when trying to get the numbers right.

Normally we would remove the excess data columns prior to final distribution...but I decided to leave them in this time as I was aware of this thread and this discussion.

Credit properly goes to MGD who came up with the original idea abot 10 years ago.

Also if you feel that you have a case perhaps send an email or PM to the CiC a few days before and let them know...."hey we have had bombers 2 frames in a row here". Be civil and don't be impatient we all get a few FSO where we might have to haul the water a bit farther up the hill...but if you feel you have a case then say so.

If anyone is interested, I exported the logs from last week to the beginning of December (the last 8 frames) to create an Excel spreadsheet and pivot table. I didn't break out Axis versus Allied, and counted SBD/TBM/A20 as bombers. If a squad showed a bomber, even if they also had fighters that frame, they were counted as bomber for that frame. Here are the impartial results:

   !68th Lightning Lancers!      2 bomber, 6 fighter   
   *****FREEBIRD$*****      1 bomber, 7 fighter   
   ~~~THE UNFORGIVEN~~~      4 bomber, 4 fighter   
   ~Air Raiders~      8 fighter   
   162ndFG"Purple*Hearts"      2 bomber, 6 fighter   
   1841 Squadron Fleet Air Arm      8 fighter   
   325th Checkertails VFG      5 bomber, 3 fighter   
   327th Steel Talons      2 bomber, 6 fighter   
   332nd Flying Mongrels      2 bomber, 5 fighter   
   334th FS "The Eagles"      3 bomber, 5 fighter   
   353rd FG "Slybirds"      2 bomber, 6 fighter   
   364th C-Hawks FG      2 bomber, 5 fighter   
   367th Dynamite Gang      8 fighter   
   412th FNVG      2 bomber, 6 fighter   
   49th Fighter Group      4 bomber, 4 fighter   
   56 FG "Zemke's Wolfpack"      7 fighter   
   9GIAP VVS RKKA      3 bomber, 5 fighter   
   Anti-Horde      1 bomber, 7 fighter   
   Arabian Knights      3 bomber, 5 fighter   
   CLAIM JUMPERS      6 bomber, 2 fighter   
   Das Muppets      1 bomber, 7 fighter   
   G3-MF      3 bomber, 5 fighter   
   III./JG11 Sonderstaffel      1 bomber, 7 fighter   
   JG/2      2 bomber, 6 fighter   
   JG54 "Grunherz"      3 bomber, 5 fighter   
   Lachender Teufelskopf Gruppe      8 fighter   
   LCA ~Tainan Kokutai~      4 bomber, 4 fighter   
   Nightmares VMF-101      4 bomber, 4 fighter   
   VF-17 "Jolly Rogers"      3 bomber, 5 fighter   
   VMF-216 Bull Dogs      4 bomber, 4 fighter   
   VMF-222 ~Flying Deuces~      1 bomber, 7 fighter   
               


EDITED: D3A1 now counted as bomber (as it should have been)  :o

Over 23 percent of listed groups flew one or no bomber missions. I wonder if squad size factors into this greatly?
