curious what people think?
« on: December 28, 2025, 01:20:28 PM »
you have attackers and defenders

each week they swap.

attacker has their choice of 3 bases to attack, but must notify admins of which base.

admins will then create airspawns for those bases and for the defenders.

defenders will have to watch all 3 bases to determine where the attack is coming from.

once attack base is determined. radar can be turned on or not.

defenders will have access to Ack guns and mobile defense vehicles only.

once the base or town is white flagged, its a win. until then it still belongs to the defenders.

the following week it switches. what do you think??

1) How are Sides determined by players?
2) Are Sides split between Axis and Allied?
3) Which aircraft are used vs. ground vehicles?
4) What is the split difference between attacking and defending?
5) Do players need to be ready for side balancing?

A great concept for keeping a fresh changing format.

Sides= even split
countries= axis and allies. english/america vs germany
english will have their early or midwar planes, vs german early and midwar.
osti,wirble vs M16
side balance would be Equal hopefully. no side switching 1 hour event.

also radar off until battle starts, then turn it on(maybe)

other question: would you participate in something like this depending on what time or day of week?

100% YES. However you may get a better turnout if you limit to late war setup with some even decent matches (D9 vs 51 etc) That tends to be a little more challenging for GVs given German tanks were far superior but limited in numbers.

unfortunately the last time i tried it with both tank and planes, was people bombing tanks. i didn't want that to happen. the idea is to capture a base. if you get in a dogfight, fine, but its about a war situation. can i put those 2 in? sure, but at low alt, the p51 rules, especially in a dogfight.

Great idea! I'd definitely add something like this to my calendar.

I think times are more important than some think. They kinda all over the map

yeah i know, thats why im asking. i can do 8pm on a thursday or 8pm on a saturday, so as not to interfere with other events.

my plan is to open up the axis and allies side forums, give people the base list and let them figure out which base to hit. they would then tell me and ill set it up.

the battle will be about 1 hour or so to either hold or capture the base depending on what side you're on.

8pm EST on Saturdays would be my best bet.
One dynamic I have always wanted to see is airbases have a limited supply of aircraft/ground vehicles. Say A1 has an inventory of 10 Doras, 20 109-Es. A30 has 10 P-51s, 20 P47s  or something to that effect. OR I guess you can just limit spawning in to 1 or 2 times killed.
Capturing fields in the MA has mostly to do with just numbers and luck. I would love to see a dynamic of both defenders and attackers just use force at one another to win.

JUST my opinion. take it for what its worth.

We all appreciate your time and effort. I’m sure it will be just fine.

I’ve always liked the AC limit concept.

Interesting setup, sounds like fun! There would have to be some limits on the bombers, as some of the heavy bombers can white flag town in one pass.

8pm Eastern Saturday would work most of the time, but would compete with scenarios the 8 weekends a year we fly them. Easy enough to work around.

it would be a 1 or 1.5 hour setup. yes bombers would be limited. especially the big ones.
