Buckshot, you really need to do a scenario in a group, it's a whole new experience.
These events are not designed for the casual player jumping in expecting main arena conditions. While they are walkon friendly, the walkons are brought into established groups.
These guys spend typically a month or more training, practicing, drilling and running missions in anticipation of the event conditions. They rely on communication, spotting, position reports and everything else people bring to an event, and move away from the technical elements found in the Mains.
It's a completely different experience if you are in one of these from the start. There is absolutely nothing like it.
We have events with no dar at all. We have them with extreme winter conditions and heavy cloud cover. We have them in the Pacific Theater, Summer, Winter, Islands, Desert, Ground War Elements and more.
The build up to the event is a major part of the experience, and the event itself is typically the day they implement what they worked on for a month.
The events are designed to have objectives, and more important, often seemingly insurmountable obstacles that always seem to be overcome. The obstacles and difficulties are as much a part of a Scenario design as the objectives and planes.
Grab any one of these guys who flew in this or any other Scenario, get on with them early, and try the full experience.
You will look back on your dissatisfaction about this one particular radar setting and realize that it didn't matter at all.
The Allies took out the Radar, by design. The Axis knew the Radar was going to be taken out, so our communication system took over. You can't do that in the main, there is no level of organization there. We live on that here
