Logs started late.

The logs were started late and as a result many of the "start flight" events were not logged. The scoring logic needs this to calculate scores correctly. You'll notice individual results are grouped by "sortie". A sortie begins with a "start flight" event and ends with an "End Flight" event. If there is no start to the sortie, the script does not know about it and so cannot count it.

I asked for details from everyone in "sortie" format above. If I have those, I can fix the logs and scores will start showing up.

The best place to start would be for every CO to post a list of every pilot that flew that night with the plane they flew and the field they took off from.

That sounds like alot of work for you Exile. I think we should just score it as a win for the Allies and move on to the next frame.

I just want to know if I shot down those two Ki-61s, or either of them... I thought I might've gotten two, but other people might've hit 'em too.

Well I know I missed the hangar I went on in with Raub on the base strike. Then I went after a Zeke that was chasing Wotan low near the base and I think he went down with me putting many .50's in his airframe. Then after coming back north and running up to A3 to see what the Ki-61's were doing I had an inflight collision with one and may have downed him and another one due to gunfire. When I crash landed at the base I took off from I showed getting 31 perks so I don't know exactly what happened. I know that perks are weird in the SEA.

So results for me:
3 possible kills; one Zeke and two Ki-61's

Launched from A4 headed to A5 then RTB'd toward A4 for base defense then was vectored to A3 for interception of possible Ki-61's on a return raid from their first attack run.

Thanks Wotan! I had no idea but thought it would have at least been a damaged one. Glad I could help you out there!:D

As  I gunned for fireball, I know of one definite splashed f4u.. I watched him all the way down, with no other plane engaging him. (This doesn't match with the "assist" I was awarded to MuckMAW's kill).   A second f4u attacked, shot off fireball's wing, but as he finished his attack, I unloaded point blank across fuselage and canopy.  I lost sight of him due to my gunner position.  Fireball and I hung with our plane for quite a ways down before bailing.  Upon bailing, I saw no crippled plane in air, no chute, nothing.  When I asked fireball if I had killed the second f4u prior to our bailing out, he said that I had.  Unfortunately, no film of the sortie, and no other corroboration available.  I believe it was possibly the second f4 that was the "assist" on MuckMAW's kill, but am positive the first was a solo kill, unless he had damage from a prior engagement.  Just an FYI.

Exile that is a lot of work. You really want to do that?  It was an Allied win for sure. Want me to give you some points to post and just call it a day?

I think the best thing to do would be to award points for aircraft and ground targets on a 1x1 modifier on both sides, and call it good.

FWIW, I got 5 KI's and strafed down some kind of structure but that is about all I remember about the event. I know I strafed the building after rearming but the kills all were in the first sortie.  I have no clue about how to do the sortie reporting format.

If the squad COs can just post a list of who took from where and in what, the scores will most likely come out all right.

GhostDancer did that for his squad and his scores are showing up fine now.

Example:

Axis - Exile took off from field #5 in a A6M5b

56th FG launched 7 P-47D-25s from A4: Ammo, CFIT, Nomde, Oblittoo, Pollock, RGJ, and Sancho.  Hope that is all you need because I don't remember any more details. :)
