Mid-week a/c adjustment...

Funk: I'll see what I can do.  I should have thought of doing that at the same time I enabled the Spit.  Of course, folks are complaining already that the Spit's are taking over:rolleyes: .  Sometimes you just can't win.

I think the argument that the axis need better planes would carry a little more weight if it wasn't included in the same thread discussing the fact that the axis won the war

that is true myelo but it was during a time when there was only 5 vs 5  or so and like i explained I still died many times against even hurricanes which were the mainly choice of the allies(luckily for us i think).It is an entirely different matter when all the bases are capped or watched and even worse when allies outnumber axis by 3 to 1 which ive seen!!.

I found the last setup to be quite good, with perked rides and all.

In my OPINION, it would be good for balance if:

Allies:
P-38L costs 2 perks
SpitV costs 1 perk (to not make the allies be spit horde)
Typhoon cost 1 perk
Mossie costs 1 perk
F6F cost 2 perks
Seafire free (and avaliable from land bases as well as CV)
Hurricanes (both) free
P47d11 free
F4U1 free (CV and land bases)
TBM free
IL2 Free
C47 Free
La5 1 perk
P-51B 3 perks

Axis:
109F4, 109G-2,190A-5, 190A-8, 190F-8, Ju87 (IL2), Ju88, c202, c205, C-47 free.
109G6 1 perk ('cuase 30mm)
109G10 costs 2 perks.
190D9 4 perks
I would add the KI61 as replacement for the RE2000

My logic for the costs comes from Jabo capability and speed/firepower. Mossie and P-38L are much more cabable "bombers" than the TBM and Il2. P38L and F6Foutperform most, if not all , of the axis rides. P51B and Tiffie are perked due to their huge speed advantage over the early 109's 190's and italian crafts. Adding the Ki61 would give the axis another plane to combat the spits and hurricanes, as well as the other cheap perked allied rides.
Adding the G10 and D9 would combat the P51 and the 38L and the F6F.

Just an idea

Hazed. I'm not saying some fine-tuning might not be in order, but the plane set seems pretty balanced now, in my opinion -- especially compared to some of the other setups. And I fly axis and allied about equally, depending on numbers.

I was at Linosa with Furzy and believe me I died plenty too. Of course I could just re-up at the base, while ya'll were having to come from far away -- until you got the fleet close enough for the LVTs. I'm not complaining. In fact that was the most fun I've had in a long time (fortunately the wife doesn’t read this).

Two questions:
1. Have the allies won in Sicily (sincere question)? If one side is consistently winning, that would argue for some sort of adjustment.

2. Does anyone have any objective numbers over time regarding the numbers of allies vs. axis in this CT setup? They seem pretty close to me. But I’m usually not on in prime time when I suspect many of the American players are on (who probably lean to the allied planes), so I probably get a biased view.

well fwiw... (and screen shots to back it up if you want.) all times CST

3/3/02 11:45am    8-3 allied favor
3/3/02  2:37pm  29-11 allied favor
3/3/02  3:09pm  34-12 allied favor
3/5/02  9:09pm  34-18 allied favor (this ratio remained fairly constant throughout the next few hrs.)
