I was in a rush to get this posted before leaving for work.  I realized there needed to be some more clarification.

Players using the PT Boats will need to wait for text buffer in any ship damage from torpedo use before launching a new PT Boat.  This is to ensure when relaunching the previous torpedo attack won't disappear.  It is advised for players to use the rest of weaponry aboard before getting new boat.  This should give enough time to know whether a player hit a ship or not.

Players flying Ju-88s with torpedoes should follow same guidelines as PT Boat before bombing and bailing and then relaunching with new bombers.

Killshooter will be ON.  Players flying bombers should be careful to not drop bombs near players in PT Boats.  Bomber pilots might be returned to A24 tower. 

There will be a friendly CV group in 14,14 kp 5.  Bomber pilots might drop on friendly CV in the middle of enemy CV groups.  Look at above mentioned info.  Friendly CV won't take damage nor hurt bombers except when PT Boats are just spawning.

There will be enemy CV groups firing at players and for an unknown reason some enemy CV groups won't fire at players.  Best guess would be original Port and CV group belonging to Bishop and being switched to another country.

27 enemy CV groups contained in a 625 square mile area is complete chaos and anarchy.  Each fleet on a separate course passing near central friendly fleet allowing for PT Boats to spawn and attack.  Ju-88s at wave top level sinking ships with torpedoes.  ju-88s in the air level bombing fleets. 

The player who sinks an aircraft carrier with a PT Boat gets to pick June torpedo bomber.

[atlau]

Haha yes I've seen that article.


My original comment still stands!

[akbmzawy]

Since the enemy fleet will not be firing lethal shots drive the PT Boat in as close as possible to target allowing arming.

15 hours to go.  I have most of the fleets put into place.  Switch to Knights for a look see.  11 more fleets to move into containment sector.  Arena message not uploaded yet.  Will finish later after work.

A24 - Ju-88
C42 - PT Boat

CV42 is smack dab in the middle.  I am putting all Knight CV fleets to pass through keypad 5.

I hope this becomes a regular thing.  I hadn't check the boards in a few days and I missed this.

Congratulations to Twinn50s with 384 Total Objects Destroyed!!!!
Congratulation to AKBmzawy with 10889 Total Objects Destroyed Points!!!!

Congratulation to AKBmzawy with first Aircraft Carrier sinking with a PT Boat of the event!!!!
20:00:28 Departed from Field #42 in a PT Boat
20:01:49 Destroyed a aircraft carrier at base #43
Right out of the gate.  He gets to choose June's torpedo bomber.

I would like to thank everyone who participated especially the new players.  Just keep playing these events and you will start having success.  It was an awesome event with such a target rich enviroment.  PT Boats seemed to win the day with most damage and sinkings.  The friendly Cv will remain part of the event.

Thursday June 30th will be a special Me-262 air race NOE.  Mesaview terrain with the 6 central airfields being the race course.  A Fuel Burn of 4.0 and a 50 mph downdraft at 2000 ft and max downdraft at 4000 ft will make a challenging event.  I will have the details posted later today.  Very important for players to practice.
