I was involved with TOD last night even though it was recon and report nme movement the whole squad was on RW and we had a blast. Swagger had a special time getting to know UrAnis but thats another story.

Anyways, I know we were supposed to find the carrier but when you are travelling at 25k it's not that easy unless you are actively searching dipping the wings so you can get a good look below. I don't know how many times I've been enroute a patrol area thinking nothing is around then all of a sudden flak bursts start appearing, I sound out "I found the carrier!" but in reality I didn't, it found me. Would it be possible to allow field commanders an option in the SEA during sanctioned events that keeps the guns from firing it may help the CVG from being spotted when stealth is essential to mission success.

Ain't it funny how the CV can spot and target a single tiny plane before the plane can spot an enormous CV group?

Another thing wa kinda weird. I was getting bracketed by massive TF flak but squadmates within visual distance could not see the flak. Flak should be visable from pretty far away.

My squadmate could see me but could not see the "puffs". They thought I was runnin for nothin!!

Wish we could turn the flak on and off. Just not possible.
