Possible event?
« on: September 03, 2026, 08:16:17 AM »
anyone interested in a setup for a bombing event? bombers and escorts airspawn. no radar but ATC allowed ie tower radar only. Airspawns at altitude for defenders.

probably need about 30 guys to make it work. let me know what you think?

probably europe terrain. maybe a schweinfurt raid, for anyone asking.

You mean like the Fortress Europe events?

yeah something like that.

my idea is this. airspawns at 20k so people dont need to spend an hour climbing. this spawn will be good for both fighters and bombers. im really good with spawns.

then along the way, atleast 1 airspawn from active bases at maybe 15k so that people can get back into the fight.

target can be anything, but like the ETO map has some good targets in it. there would be RADAR for ATC only. so if 1 guy wanted to sit in the tower he could direct fighter response.

let me know what you think or am i barking up the wrong tree. again we'd need about 30 guys to really make it work.

Black Thursday was bad for the allies as the bombers out flew their fighter escorts...

Sounds like a good time  :aok

im working on developing this including moving airspawns so that when a pilot is down he can get right back into the action or close to the action with a few minutes of dying.

That works for defenders but how will bomber pilots return to the formation? And if they can’t, that seems a bit unfair for the bombers.

You might ping Nefarious.

He had a way to do that on the Fortress Europe missions.

im planning on rolling airspawns for the bombers. this way after a timeout they can get back into the action relatively! dont forget they have 3 planes to the fighter pilots 1.
