Map maximum uptime duration is 7 days.  :cheers:

This month, the MA has seen at least 26 map resets so far (I think I missed one - is there a list of the current rotation anywhere so I can check?)
That means average uptime for a map is currently under 24 hours.



(work in progress)

So if you wanna get those war victory perk points, you got to join the morning crew (Bish preferably, though I don't have hard data on that)  :old:

Last night I got my first ever troop that won the war drop. I’ve been playing since 2009 and always been a Rook.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

A pulled up my logs from early 2013, 2014 and 2015, and it seems that the MA is currently getting at least twice as many resets per tour as back in the day.  :old:

That is cool. I don't think I ever got that one in all my years.

Next the CMOH like the one you could get in F19 Stealth Fighter!

The great majority of map changes happens around 9:30 am-10:00 am Eastern USA time. This is almost daily if the big maps ddo not come into play.

There are occasional war wins happening during prime time.

Seems early day map wins add to the functioning biosphere, keeping maps moving instead of becoming stagnate like buzzsaw.

Bitter for some sweet for others.

I like a fresh map at prime time.

agreed. in my opinion, a perk or ENY only system would more benefit the server reset time than the current perk/ENY system. at least it isn't like the current pay-to-win models that most games are running. microtransactions make me sick.

Back in the day, I use to go on what I call "HO rampages" where I'd grab a 190A8 and HO everything in sight. It's fun. A mossie coming right at you is extremely scary, probably one of the scariest to even cross infront of. Typhoons and NIKs as well with their 4 20mm, you are asking for it trying to HO them. Always try to do more to dodge HOs. I try to get the vertical advantage with my nose while they are trying to shoot me, which automatically gives me the advantage if they miss and try to turn back at me.

The Bf-410 with its high velocity MK103 30mm nose-mounted outstrips everything in long range HO, one 30mm is normally enough for a B17 kill, only the B26 need more. The MK103 has about 3x of explosive filler than even the MK108.

Best gun in game if you only look at gun performance, and not the plane its attached to.
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

The Minengeschoss projectiles were the same, with the same amount of filler.

NS-37, a gun you can attack dead six on bombers from where the gunners can not hit you............if they aren't 35k B17s or B29s.
