"Pantelleria, 1943" scenario-design topic

[Devil 505]

So, axis people who do not like:
A. 8 spit 9's

Which of these do you like better:
B.  6 Spit 8's.
C.  6 Spit 9's and two more P-38G's.

I know you prefer:
D.  6 Spit 9's.

I will even put D up to a vote in the scenario team.  My vote will be "no" on D, but I'm a minority vote.  I'm OK with B or C -- not sure which I think is best.

Option D is still the ideal option, C would be the next best solution since it actually addresses the most imbalanced portion of the plane set. I still think that the imbalance in the P-40F vs C.202 matchup already helps to compensate.

Perhaps another solution is to replace the 109G-2 squad with G-6's to bring the performance closer to the P-38's. The P-38 is faster than a G-6 above 22K.

Option D is still the ideal option [...]

This.

[KCDitto]

I agree

 

[Brooke]

OK, I've got good news and bad news.

The good news is that I took all the options through the process (vote by scenario team and vote by CO's) including D as I said I would, and [pause to heighten suspense] option D carried the day.  I have already made the change in the writeup.

The bad news is that it turns out I don't have dictatorial powers.  Alas.

Now that the decision is made, I am fully on board with it and of high morale.  I will not be crabbing about a decision not going my way or making snide or derisive comments about people who didn't agree with me.

Onward and upward.

The fighter squads look fine.

I'll do some digging on the Ju's and 202's.

Well, thank you, Devil!  <S> to you as well.

Sweet. Give us a little time on buffs and C.202's.

Ju 88's are looking like 7./KG 30 AND 8./KG 30. All of III Gruppe and most of KG 30 was based at Viterbo, near Rome. There were no bombers based on Sicily during Corkscrew, but we are using air spawns. Thus, accuracy remains intact-ish. Maybe, just maybe, we can get a skin in time for the event!

[perdue3]

For the C.202, the only units we have found based in Sicily were parts of 4° Stormo, including 10° Gruppo. 10° consisted of 84, 90, and 91 Squadriglia. We have a skin for 91 Squadriglia in game (Greebo's, which happens to be the Default), so I recommend naming the C.202 unit 91 Squadriglia. This group was led by Franco Lucchini, one of the highest scoring Italian aces of the war.

when is the sign up for the October scenario going to be posted/start?

[Brooke]

Not sure quite yet when registration will open -- probably in the two weeks range, maybe a little sooner.
