Whelp; was all ready to roll my sleeves up and wade back into this thing.. Zig; Busc and Camo have asked to form a committiee to better help manage the development, etc..
Then disaster stikes yet again. My In-laws, while on the way home Sunday night from visting my ex-wife in the hospital, perished in a car accident.
I'm gonna be outta circulation for awile, so I won't be back to Med Leauge. I sure hope they get the bugs worked out; it has all the makings for a great immersive experience.
Take note of Fatty's comment.. it don't matter one bit who wins.. as long as you had fun, and learned something of war in the air; they way it was.
And on that note... the hell with Alt caps. No B17 group, regardless of theatre, to my knowledge ever attacked a defended target at 15k. To do so would be suicide. To order them to do so is murder. I'm definitly against an alt cap in a scenario where the B17 is present.
To this point; the b17's in Med leauge have bombed from the 26-28k range. Yah.. it's a bit high.. but dammit; they are not in the scenario to be bait.. they have a critical mission. A significant portion of the allied assests have been dedicated to screening and escorting those buffs; and to date; they've been very effective. I hope they continue to do so.
As far as those high alt fights are concerned.. seems the axis is giving as good as it's getting. I've read and heard of several high co-alt skirmishes that have lasted up to 40 minutes with negligible losses on either side.
Good flying is happening on both sides in the scenario.. when pilots are briefed correctly; and no MA dweebishness takes place, no one rushes in for a dweeb kill. Those that do (usually the walk ons) become fodder in just a few moments. Easy come; fast to go.
These kinds of superb 'on the edge of your seat' encounters thoughout the scenario have really warmed my cockels.. the guys are learning how to fight and live; not repeating the old MA 'rush in; hop on the dogpile and die' crap. It DOES require disipline and co-operation to be successful. Those that fly like idiots die, and damn fast.
SALUTE!, all of you who've flown, and endured... WTG, on both sides.
Duty calls.. I have things I must get done.
I'll be back.
Hang
