The Tour of Duty is under way! Battle of Britain! Go to the Events page, click on Tour of Duty, then look to the lower left, there is a list of Squadron CO's...pick a squadron and email them to get a spot reserved. This event does NOT take walk-on's on the day of the event, so you must do it ahead of time. Your missing out on the best aspect of true WW2 Combat Immersion if you're not involved. Come join us!

Also: Check the TOD BB to see which squads are on which side. You'll probably have a better chance of getting in as Axis, as they had lower numbers in Frame one I believe.

Ya know... if allied vs axis is the only way to fly early war planes with some semblance of parity (against their peers) then so be it but it holds very little attraction for me.

Maybe I want to much but I want to be able to choose, wing and fight against any early war plane without any interferance from later war monsters in an arena that has some real numbers.

I wanna be able to fly my spit one or P40 with a 109e and zeke wingmen against f4f's and ki43's and other p40's in an arena with numbers... screw the "WWII immersion" roadkill.

I'm in it for fun... not to put on a WWII re-creation act or pretend that I am some WWII ace.

That's strange, I achieve the former without needing the later. I must be doing it wrong.

So do I sickboy. It is called the main arena. I would love to fly early war planes there as well but without interferance from later war planes.

In my case it is called TOD.

ok.. I'll bite... if you have no interest in trying to recreate WWII then why would you prefer to saddle yourself with the straitjacket that is "allied vs axis"? Seems like a huge waste of good FM's and gunnery.

Do you even read the things you post?

I don't care about the re-creation of WWII. I really couldn't care less about the "WWII Ace Roleplaying" And Yet, despite that, I[/i] have fun in TOD. How that is hard for some one to understand it totally beyond me.

well then... let me ask you this.. Would you have as much fun if you could fly early war planes in the MA without interferance from later war planes?

This is not facitious. It would appear that most prefer the MA. It is good that you can enjoy flying in TOD despite the allied vs axis and other restrictions but many can't/won't.

So there you have it, YOU want to restrict the MA to early war..can't have it both ways Laz. The MA is for all planes, the CT, and scenarios is for early war, scenario specific planes. So you want to restrict the MA for your own pleasure now? Geez Laz, you remind me of my wife trying to decide what color of dress she likes, changing her mind every 10 seconds....
