Upcoming Scenario Format - Your Opportunity To Weigh In

[ROC]

Choices to make. 



Which format would you like to see in the next Scenario.  Mind you, this is not "the" single source of information, and terrain conditions weighed against the upcoming new version will play a deciding role, but it's an opportunity to test the desires of the community.

Pacific Theater
"BoB" Style
Russian Front
Italy

What's your poison, what is something you'd like to see come down the pipe?

[Volron]

A DYNAMIC Scenario.  But HiTech will add the Ho-229 and Do-335 before I see that.


If I had a D8 on me, I'd roll that and give you an answer.

1-2 Pacific
Wish we had the TBD, D4Y, B6N, SB2C.  Lot more options would be available.

3-4 BoB
Updating the 88 and 110's, adding the Do-17z and Ju-87B.  The updates are for obvious reasons, the additions are for more flavor.  BoB may have the most solid AC line up for both sides as is.

5-6 Eastern
I honestly cannot say one way or the other, if the USSR has enough AC for something as solid as BoB, without substitutes.

7-8 Italy
Let's face it, Italy is just another area for the US/UK to fight Germany.  Italy is a minor role regardless of when, with their current lineup of AC.


Aside from AC I listed above, this is where I wish we had the Fiat G.50, M.S.406, Blenheim, Gloster Gladiator, TB-3, Tupolev SB, DB-3, I-153 and I-15.

Then we could do The Winter War.

A DYNAMIC Scenario

In what context?  What would you consider a Dynamic Scenario?

[Wizz]

How about a fictional scenario. id like to bomb Germany eith B29s

[Beefcake]

I'd like to do something on the Russian Front or in the Pacific. Basically anything where I can have a chance to fly a B25C/H or a Tu-2. 

[Volron]

In what context?  What would you consider a Dynamic Scenario?

I think I was leaning towards a more "what if" scenario.  Historically, there were options to each side had that they could've used, but didn't due to varied circumstances.  I believe the UK could've launched a large scale bombing offensive of their own during BoB, but due to the need to defend and resources being tight, that couldn't happen.  Maybe giving that option to the Allied CiC in the next BoB?  It could be a gamble that could pay well, or result in a sound thrashing, as it pulls pilots from fighters.  This would also mean pilots willing to fly bombers if tasked to do so, and possibly the other way around.

If the resources were there and available historically, give an option to use them.  But this puts the scenario into the "what if" category.  This is what I was commenting about with the 229/335 thing.  I recall someone stating that their would not be a "what if" type of scenario.  But I honestly cannot remember who said this.

What I really meant to say was, "A "what if" scenario.".   Sorry about the confusion.  Hell, confused myself until I finally remembered what I was trying to get at.

My choice is 1948 Middle East (IAF Spit XVI, 109G6, B-17, P-51D, Mosquito VI vs REAF Spit VIII, C205, Lancaster) with good ground action in Shermans, M3s and M16s.    (link)


From the 4 above:

I'd really like to see Eastern Theater, we have a reach middle-late war soviet set

But please - do it without usual AH Land Lease bias!

Kursk: Yak-7b, Yak-9T, La-5, Il-2, I-16 with limited Hurricanes and P-40s (as in real life see this)

Or early war (battle of Moscow) I-16 vs 109E + maybe 109F + Yak-7b (also 7b is later that Yak-1 but not better in terms of performance)

Of course Late war with Yak-9U, Yak-3, La-5, La-7, Tu-2 and IL-2 is even better due to a very good plane set representation

2nd choice is Early Pacific - I always love to fly F4F and kill some Zekes also it is highly dynamic due to heavy reliance on carriers, C&C and intelligence work.

[Swoop]

Ya'all remember the north sea scenario we did with the US Air Force Academy?   

Lets re-run it, it was great.

[LLv34_Dictonius]

I'd like the Italy or Russian front.

I wouldn't go as far as making I-16 vs 109E matchups tho. I-16 is that bad in this game, it will be a picknick for the luftwaffe. Balancing the historical accuracy is a fine art I believe. And scenario balance (so that the game is playable for both sides) is very important.

[bozon]

North Africa.

P40s, early P38, Spit V, Hurries C&D, medium bombers.
109E&F, ju88, C202
Lovely desert camo skins.

Nicely balanced planes roster, no replacements needed.
Lovely desert camo skins.

Plus, we can use the Lovely desert camo skins.

[fudgums]

Depends if it's a 12 Hour Scenario or a 4 Frame scenario...


North Africa or Eastern front..

[captain1ma]

might I suggest a setup where you have 2 lives instead of one, and the first one is planes, and the second one is GV's(for those that want to GV).

they did it in the FSO once or twice and it was a blast....pardon the pun!

my vote would be BOB or a pacific setup. as for format, I did like the 12 hour thing. I'm not sure if you guys got more participation that way or not. I'd go with whatever works and whatever gets you the most players in.

also given the number of players that participate, im surprise no one has ever tried any sort of base capture setup......just a thought. 

[waystin2]

North Africa, Italy, Russian front just give me a scenario! 

[Zimme83]

China? P-40 vs Ki-43/A6M
A 12 hour scenario -yes please. We can even have some base taking involved. i also believe that it would be fun if the exact objectives etc are unknown, adding a bit fog of war. So that the defenders dont know exact what target the enemy is going to attack.

Knowing the targets we have to defend makes it too easy for us!
