I'll try get in pretty early.
I get really really tired of selective realism disguised as a desire to make bombers easier to kill.

I hope that was fun for you Dantoo. I remember years back we did this in a scenario and I thought it'd be fun to take on that role. Thing was the dirty LW made the radar a top priority target! I saw strikes coming into the radar and by the time I'd vectored fighters in they'd smashed it with Stukas. So....that was a waste of a Saturday! For me anyway. I'd made all these oversized foam board maps so I could track things too. Dangit!

I had a great time tonight.  :aok

The action was quick, and easy to find. The fights were a lot of fun, and we (on the allied side) had Dantoo trying to direct us.   :joystick:

great video!
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Thanks, just getting into making videos. Had a lot of help with my questions from the community here.

Great event, always my favorite one to fly in.

Watching all the Spits and Hurris scream into the Heinkels as a single mass was a beautiful sight.

We had more than our share of glitches.  At times I had no radar, at other times I had just half of it.  Made it interesting.

There was a bunch of lessons there.   

At a suitable time and suitable scenario we can switch the service to the LW side.

I need someone to join me in testing sometime soon, That way we can iron out the ideal settings and determine if it's a bug or not.

Nef, what kind of commitment are you looking for? I can help out depending on time and duration.
