Frame #2 and #3

[Doc4]

I did our duty as CiC for frame#1,and gave it our all, but I am personally not going to fly the last 2 frames of this tour.  I am acting alone, and am not including the entire Unforgiven squad. This will be the first frames I will have missed in five years.  Good luck to all FSO squads who remain.  I hope FSO and Aces High survives this slump, but with current decisions being made, I have to tell you I am not holding my breathe.

I wasn't happy with my performance, or the odds I faced, but I intend to be there for the next two frames. C'mon Doc, we need ya.

Overall, the two sides appear to have been fairly well balanced in number of pilots, kills, assists, deaths, number of planes landed/ditched/bailed, etc.

I do hope you change your mind. I understand the frustration, and we spent plenty of time to make sure it was as balanced as can be given that there was no precedent to base balance off of for these particular aircraft match-ups and objectives. The numbers weren't exactly where we were hoping they would be, but at first glance it looked to be a pretty even night overall.

Normally objectives must have a minimum of 12 attack aircraft per objective. We felt that was too many for this kind of setup and took into account the average attendance, so we dropped it to 10 each (for a minimum of 20 Stukas). Historically speaking, total attacking aircraft has always been around 30% of total aircraft for the majority of FSOs in recent years.

We have been trying to introduce some new/diverse designs rather than recycle old ones, and with that comes the added risk of things not working out as intended or going drastically wrong. So far that has not been the case, but we are always willing to make adjustments to a design if it is deemed necessary, whether that be mid-event (not ideal) or if it is to be re-ran down the road. Feel free to lay out the specific issues you have, and a discussion can be started about it. I can answer to the best of my ability, and I'm sure perdweeb would be more than happy to discuss issues also.

Again, hopefully we will see you Friday.
