Suggestions regarding next Scenario (October, 2016)

[Bruv119]

I know I'm getting in on this discussion late but a spit IX, at high alt, will simply walk away from anything the axis could possibly field in a 1943 setup. Paired with Vs and flown in close coordination, they could be downright unstoppable.

Brooke has included a 22k downdraft so this doesn't happen.

That is only because you flew with a GREAT squad                

  

It is true!  I was carried to greater success thereby.

Yes, at 22k and below with WEP, the Spit IX is slower than the 109G (except for a small range around 15k where it is about 5 mph faster).

What happened to Brooke without Ditto around:


Look at this squad!

I flew 190A-5's in a Scenario against Spit IX's and Spit V's.  Before doing this, I thought Spits would eat us up, but afterwards, I saw that I was completely wrong and thought that the 190A-5 was -- in a Scenario type fight -- superior to even the IX, let alone the Spit V.

I was in one of those Vs dancing with the 109s and 190s.  At no point, regardless of what we did, could we catch the baduns or try and run if we were in trouble.  If we got folks turning, we could at least dance, but the Vb in a 43 environment was not the equal of the LW birds.  Saying that I had a blast, but I'm a glutton for punishment. 

I still think a mix of 8 Vs and 4 IXs is viable.

Thank you, Devil!  That is awesome! 

I'm not sure what time zone you are in.  Except for Wednesday nights, I'm available most nights after 8 pm Pacific.  I could be available prior to 11 am Pacific most days.  I could probably make 6 pm Pacific.  I can make Saturdays from about 2 pm Pacific to about 5:30 pm Pacific.  I'll message you my cell phone number so that you can text me for coordination.

By the way, folks, once Devil and I set a time, we can open it up to anyone else who wants to come in and test things.  I'll post the date and time once I know.

I will set it up in AH3, as I'm thinking that's what we'll have by October, but we can adjust things for AH2 if AH3 isn't out by then as well.

Any time in the PM is good for me, Brooke. Just set a day and time and I'll be there.

Would someone be so kind as to double check that the target list in the tables is what is shown in the maps?   That way, it checks if I made an error.  Many thanks. <S>!

Excellent! 

How about Thursday (in two days) at 8 pm Pacific in the AH3 custom arenas?  I will create one called "Brooke test".

[Brooke]

All are welcome to join me and Devil on Thursday at 8 pm Pacific time to check out what the settings will be like.  We will be in AH3 (not AH2) in the custom arena called "Brooke test".

Want to try some bombing of towns?  Some attack runs?  Some killing of ships?  Show up with a friend and dogfight him to see what the planes are like?

Feel free to join us.

IDK if it has been pointed out, but the allied shipping area is larger than the Axis.. (more room to hide things)

If the allies put their fleet in the upper reaches, it would be a gift to the axis.

Why do you think this?

  The Axis have to scout 2 full sectors, the Allies have to scout 1 1/2 sector.  Again, freeing up more planes to attack a side instead of search.  Balance it by giving the Axis 262 scouts so they can cover the larger area faster?

just to be clear, the real event will be played in AHII unless an act of god gets 3 running by then right?...
