Frame 2 Mossies Required?

[Gooss]

No Mossies flew in Frame 2.  Were they required? 

If a required plane is not flown or flown in the required number, is there a penalty? What?

[Phast12]

Mossies were not required. Below are the only planes that were required. It was up to the CIC which planes they would use to deploy bombs to target (with the ord restrictions).

P-38G (Min 12)
P-47D-11 (Min 12)

Bf109G-2 (Min 12)
Bf109G-6 (Min 12)

Thanks for the clarification.

Is that published prior to the frame?  Or is that considered part of secret planning?

It has only been privileged to the command staff of each squadron this month.

The numbers and restrictions are sent out as part of the objectives for each frame. If you want a copy of them I would talk to your FSO Squad CO as they should have a copy.

I'm just going to leave this here...

Phast, I have a few issues with this design and it's write-up.

1. The only Bf 110's on the Western Front at this time were dedicated night fighters. They did not conduct any ground attack missions between the Battle of Britain and the D-Day invasion. The only Jabo missions historically were conducted by the dedicated Jabo squadrons in the FW190 Jagdgeschwaders. Furthermore, the 110C-4b is grossly imbalanced against the Allied planeset. A 110G can at least be reasonably balanced in playabity against the Mossie given the correct loadout restrictions. But historically speaking, any Jabo runs would have been 190's.

2. Ordinance restrictions are not included in the design write-up. Will the Mossie and 110's be the only aircraft carrying ord or will other types also have the ability to bomb/rocket attack? If there are other potential attackers, what is their capability? How will these planes be balanced? How do the players know they can be or will be balanced?

Honestly, rockets should be disabled across the board since the Axis has no ability to rocket attack ground targets.

3. The plane min/max are unknown. This is another balance issue. How can the player base know that the event has been designed to be balanced when the plane minimums and maximums are not known?

This is potentially a fantastic event, but I have my concerns.

No mosquitoes?!  This is madness! 
In this scenario the mossie is superior to all axis planes, a better fighter than P47D11 under 20k and overwhelmingly so on the deck, and at low alts so much faster than the P38G, that you would think the 38G had its engines installed backwards...

I was considering to wake up at 3am to join a mossie squadron, but I see my beauty sleep is saved.

If it weren't such a brobdingnagian target, it would be a truly excellent aircraft.
