Revised Snapshot Massive Midway Madness

[AKKuya]

Saturday January 25th in SEA 2 at 9PM EST/8PM CST.

Massive Midway Mayhem
CM Host AKKuya
Contact on text 202 or Vox 174 for any questions.

Premise:
The IJN and IJAAF has launched a massive naval force against the island of Midway.  The USN and USAAF has intercepted the Japanese attack plans and deployed a massive naval force to protect Midway. 

Historical version: The Japanese had 4 aircraft carriers and support ships to launch attack against one island and it's defenses.  Two USN aircraft carriers and support ships were in place for defense along with Midway defenses.
What if? version:  Each side has 14 aircraft carrier fleets apiece and both have an island base for multi-engine bombers.  This makes it mostly even with the most abundant target rich environment possible.

Allied Objectives: Sink 13 Japanese carrier task forces in sector in 13,12 (Blue sector).  Destroy A24 (No Town attached) and sink single carrier group in 13,14 sector.
Axis Objectives: Sink 13 USN carrier task forces in sector in 14,11 (Purple sector).  Destroy A23 (No Town attached) and sink single carrier group in 13,9 sector.



Special Rules:
1) Unlimited Lives
2) Limited radar
3) Aircraft specific to Theater and Country
4) All 28 CV fleets will be kept in containment areas under CM control.
5) All fighter aircraft will have ground ordnance available.
6) Only the B5N2 and TBM are restricted to torpedo use only.  All other payloads will be inactive for those aircraft.
7) All deaths, bails and captures counts as points for the opposing side.  Players who bomb and bail will give points to other side in aircraft losses.
8) A23 is the only VALID airfield target for Axis.  Any ground targets destroyed at other airfields will not have any points rewarded.
9) Players are free to fly all the normally perked aircraft in the Main Arena for FREE in this event.
10) Once an object is destroyed, it is down for entire event.
11) All USN/USMC aircraft will only carry 500 lb bombs or less and or rockets.  TBM is still torpedo only.

Allied Active Fields
A23 (13,9) All Allied aircraft available
C57 (13,9) All Allied aircraft available (twin engine bombers will be single ship only)

3 Hour event

Design Intent:
This style event is a mix of both Main Arena play and historical matchups created through Special Events.  There is a loose style created in design to allow for both individual players and squads to conduct their own missions using choice of aircraft.  At the same time, a Side CIC/CO can volunteer and organize with other players and squads to wage a collaborative campaign against the enemy.  This is not a registered event and side forums will not be available.  Planning should be done through other formats available.

The design has incorporated all aircraft available in game for each side.  The Main Arena ENY list is the measuring board for the Early, Mid and Late War planes.  The loose style allows for players and squads to choose any aircraft with no limits.  The design is created to reward players and squads who choose to fly Early or Mid War planes in air to air victories, sinking of ships and destruction of ground targets with greater points to that side. 

The design of the Objectives is to push each side for total annihilation of the other side.  This in turn creates a greater push to defend the ships and airfields.  The ack is set at .001 which translates to an aircraft receiving 1000 hits to equal 1 hit in the main arena.  Flying through 13 carrier groups will not result in a suicide run.  Taking fire from an enemy aircraft will be lethal.  Since the ack is set at .001, there is no need for players to man guns.

For any new players, you will not see your victories and or damage points when landing successfully.  The Special Events Arena has the ability to record the information as logs.  The logs can be found at ahevents.net under the Events Logs tab and then in the Snapshots Log for Massive Midway Madness.  The logs will be posted within a few minutes after the event has ended.  It will be divided between Allied and Axis, squad first by numerical and then alphabetical name and finally by ZZZ squad for those who don't belong to a squad.

One week to go.  When the event is over and logs posted.  I will publicly post the Feb 29th Snapshot.

Is ack lethality any different from MA?

[TWCAxew]

Is ack lethality any different from MA?

Ack is set to 0.001 which does hardly any DMG to your plane. It might look you have huge holes in your plane but really hardly any DMG has been done

Is ack lethality any different from MA?

It's set at .001 lethality.  Flying through the CV fleets will not kill you.  Just enemy fighters.

Now if we could get formations enabled (on my wishlist) this would be my bird.

Formations are enabled from land bases.  CV takeoffs are limited to single bomber.

Thanks to all who flew the event. <S>

[whiteman]

Was fun to have a Pacific setup like this! <S>

[Slate]

 thanks AKKuya for hosting was a fun advent! 

 I'd say a tactical Victory for the Japanese with more targets destroyed, more damage per sortie.    But those F4u's a big problem for the Japanese Pilots. 

[AKKuya]

We had a great time and everyone was telling me that it was fun for them.  I would like to thank everyone who flew.

2old2fly, AKAvman, AKBmzawy, AKKuya, BangsBox, Blksheep, flats, Guthree, HellBuck, HellsAce, Hombre59, JBud, Lefty59, osmium, pembquit, Razor, Redleg87, Rojo37, Sik1, SKTurt, Slate, Tex01, TKB, unklkurt, Viper66, and Yipi

I knew that this would be a lop sided battle going in with one side beating the other in a landslide (Allied).  Turns out that the winner did out score but in a way not too bad.  Less than 100,000 points.  This event was a little crazy in points awarded but that was part of the fun.

As far as the scoring, the planes lost by not landing or ditching wasn't used in this event due to logs being hard to initially follow.  By the time they were understood, some data was missing in the process of gathering points.  Based on the points awarded in early part of counting, the lost aircraft points would have no effect on the outcome.  Next event will have them included.

VIP (Very Important Pilot) of the event fell to BangsBox who sunk 5 aircraft carriers with a TBM using torpedo's giving the Allied side 100,000 points. Tex01 had the most kills with 15. F4U-1a made the most Allied kills with 14.  Ki-84 made the most Axis kills with 13.  Both Tex01 and AKKuya had the most single sortie killstreak with 6 apiece.

Thanks for letting the public know.

I was not able to attend even though I like the PTO. The main thing is the fun factor..... win, lose or draw.

Maybe next time.
