4 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 collabrative 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 and destruction of ground targets. 

The design of the Objectives is to push the Allied side for total annihilation of the Axis side.  This in turn creates a greater push for Axis to defend Berlin targets.

Due to how the terrain was made, there was no way to accurately count all the factory targets assigned to those designated targets.  This prevented individual aircraft scoring of those targets using the Tier system.  Instead, all aircraft used in destroying factory and city taregts will be grouped as a whole.

A2 Airfields shows city buildings in the Destroy Objects list.  No city buildings present in vicinity and terrain builder must have them linked to a City no where in the general area of A2. 

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 Bombing Berlin.  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.


Please fly in Nef's Fortress Europe Feb 1st.

I forgot the time and place.  9PM EST/8PM CST in SEA2.  It's a 4 hour event.

Sounds like this will be just as exciting as your Massive Midway Madness.

A big thank you to CptTrips for designing an AI mission to complement the Allied bombing effort against Berlin. 

Simple synopsis:
3 separate flights of 12 B-29s with P-51 escorts at 22,000 ft.
Each flight has a separate air spawn point.
Each flight takes a separate route to Berlin. North, Central and South.
They are set to target a specific factory near Berlin.

The AI guns will fire at enemy fighters including the jets.  There can be the possibility of human pilots riding shotgun as well and or extra bombers to take down Berlin.
