This Saturday the Target for Today scenario presents you with an opportunity. Maybe flying scenarios or FSO hasn't been your cup of tea, but this event offers several elements that make it more appealing to all players:
1. Flight windows at the top of every hour: If you don't like the one and done or two and done format of previous events because you get knocked out early, this event will allow you to relaunch once every hour to exact revenge.
2. Short flight times: One element of scenarios and FSO's that not everyone enjoys are the comparatively longer flight times. For this event we will be using England and France map, which allows for comparatively shorter flight times to the main areas of combat. Some battles will be at longer distances, but the central part of the map will be active for most of the day, and the trip across the channel at that point is no more than 10 minutes for most birds.
3. Fly as often or as little as you like: For those of you unwilling to commit to the usual 2-4 hours that it takes to fly an event, the one hour flight windows allow you to take breaks between your flights. You do not need to fly the entire scenario if you wish. You can fly for a couple of hours, head to the (empty) MA if you want to, and come back whenever you want.
4. More historical accuracy: This event is designed to simulate combat conditions during a typical day over 1943 Europe. History buffs who want to get a more realistic experience of World War II era combat will find this event much more true to life than the daily grind of the MA. Aircraft matchups are more realistic and strategies and objectives generate the type of battles that were common for the era.
5. Team-Oriented play: Pilots will be assigned to squadrons with specific objectives. This is not the lone eagle style of combat that typifies the Main Arena. You will learn to co-operate with other pilots to get the job done.
Walk-on pilots will be assigned to a specific side and squadron, but if there's a specific ride you want to fly, you can sign up for a squadron on the forum page here:
