Looks like a great setup Wotan.

If this does become the setup a week from this Friday, how about we get the ball rolling for some CT squad/pilots coordination?? How about the tuesday night(9-10pm EDT) of this setup?? Seems to be the most popular night. We could kinda setup our own mini scenario in the CT. With some squads/pilots flying an escorted B17 raid and the other forming the intercepting LW forces.

Just an idea. Anybody interested?

Mudd... smart dude

(Ok, smarter than me...but that's an easy task

)

a setup with the P-51B? I'm happy.

I thnk Mu'ds idea is a right good one, my only question is... if you have bombs and rockets disabled at a "fighter" base will that disable drop tanks too?

Guys keep the feedback coming but jarbo will be after brady. I have volunteered to be bumped back a week.

I will have more details I will post later as to where I am going with this.

Yes I would love to co-ordinate this set up with guys who are interested in it.

Direct folks to this thread and let your squaddies know. We will try to work it out together.

DT's depend of fuel Soulyss (field fuel needs to be at 125% I think)

Soulyss · « **Reply #20 on:** September 12, 2002, 12:15:06 PM »

ahh ok... I wondered what that "extra" 25% was for at fields

I'll pass this thread on to my squad and see if they are interested. MA is becomming very stale.

Looks good to me Woton. Then again I'm a closet Luftwobble in the service of the IJAAF.

I like these ideas!

Still waiting out the CTD bug.

Only problem is that the Mosquito and A-20 are kinda useless without their bombs / rockets. If we had a Mosquito NF.XIX or XXX it would work, but the FB.VI is a poor fighter.

(P-47D-11s only get a single 500lb bomb, but the P-38s, ooh la la....)

Wotan · « **Reply #26 on:** September 12, 2002, 07:13:11 PM »

we cant limit rockets or bombs or any ord loadout.

I want the moosie and in game it only has 50min of fuel with a modifier of 2.0. Like the a20 it wont make a dent in the factory complexes alone. If I make any fuel mod changes it will need to allow for the p47, spit , mossie and typhoon (if heavy) to get to the the forward axis fields but not allow them to get to the factory complexes. These are just ideas nothing is set yet.

I would like to have some period of nightime so the lancs and mossie guys can get some sort of immersion out of this setup.

Without hvy bombers getting deep into axis territory then this setup will mostly be a channel furball with a few allied raid against epinoy, Florennes, Rheine, and Monchen-Gladbach.

I would like to station the 110g2s and 190a8s at fields around the factories and have the g6s and a5s at the front line fields.

I could tweak the airfield structure hardness, ack lethality and downtimes then they can be used against airfields but it will be harder to shut a field down then it is in the main.

All the allied fields in england are within a sector. So even at different fields it really wont add much.

Anyway gimme your suggestions, ideas.

Sounds like fun and I think Mudd's on to something there. Fuel load out at the fighter bases might also help limit areas of operation for some aircraft but it wouldn't stop the one way mission guys.

Hope this helps.

snefens has done the fuel burn rate work already.

snefens Fuel burn rates:
http://home14.inet.tele.dk/snefens/index2.htm

The Main Arena burn rate is 2x.

Minutes in the air for this plane set in the MA is as follows but different airspeeds mean completely different penetration into enemy territory! Then there's the problem of climb rate dropping the maximum speed by... half?... affecting range. Looks like a math problem, where's mathman?
