You must be kidding,somone in the MA told you, and on the basis of that you then come to this and some other pretty unsubstantive opinions you come to this board and slam the whole SSO??
Is a participating player not a source for this and didn't I checked logs before I posted? I think I explained sufficiently, why I thought allied had 11 Tempests and I found the mistake.
I will email innomi8 about the flaw in his script.
Did anybody slam the whole event by this? I don't see it, help me pls.
As far as orders were concerned you were given your assignment in good time. WHy does CiC's contact details (or lack thereof) make for a bad SSO?
Ahm, you didn't read correct, I complain because I was CiC in frame 2.
If you have to dig for numbers and emails, it's not good, or?
That's something the admin CM should have or on which base does he assign the squads to the sides or email the CiCs the orders?
And how does he tell the setup CM, how he wants to have the front line? Isn't a map with it a good way and prevents mistakes when you just write the numbers, which always could have a number turned?
Anyway, is it so much work to do that? If it helps your setup and the CiC?
Isnt it true that what this really boils down to is that when some people dont perform to their undoubted potential then they blame the event??

Guys.... the SquadOps are what you, the participants, make it. It seems to me that for some reason the participants of the Sunday SquadOps do not work as well together as those involved in the Friday SquadOPs - why else would the Friday SquadOps be so successful and popular? We are the same people organising both events, yet one is more successful than the other; that can only mean the difference is the actual players.
I suggest, you run the same setup on friday squad ops and we will have the answer to this question.
Sure, we are not a big family who loves each other in SSO (you and ghostdancer should know that better than anybody else, if you can remember), but you're making it yourself really easy blaming the players that they have no fun and leave this event. Really great.
And you do you compare US prime time with US sunday lunch time?
I think the problem with Sunday SquadOps is there is not enough team-work. Most squads are happy to fly anything if it helps their side to win, but there are a significant few in SSO who simply don't turn up if they don't get what they want. This is not in the spirit of the SquadOps! If your squad is assigned bombers - fly them! If you get bombers again in the next frame, contact the CO and point out you had them last time he may be able to swop you. If it's not possible, fly them again and speak up in good time before the next one. Talk to each other - that's what this forum is here for. It is just not acceptable to simply not turn up - apart from letting your side down, you let the whole event down and we get threads like this appearing.
A little late and I guess the right people are not reached.
I told Viff, eventho I personnaly am not envious of 262s and 190D (308 flew them in frame 1), it stinks when the CiC assigns his own squad ALL restricted planes. This is of course no reason, why I didn't like "V1 Hunters", but I didn't say that. This was obviously directed to Viff, who see it as a privilege doing it looking at his answer.
We as CMs can only do so much - in the end it is up to you, the players, to make sure orders are out in good time, your minimum committed levels turn up for each frame and you carry out the orders to the best of your ability, regardless of what you are asked to fly.
Of course, but has the setup nothing to do with the "fun" of an event. Should we just all meet at sunday and furball abit together, oh we did it like this. Dang!
Also I don't agree with squads switching sides. Not because I think that in this case MAG33 knew the orders and would abuse this knowledge, it's just bad for the tactical issue of the CiC. It leaves holes and you can't change the whole battle plan for this.
I would more like to see, that the goals would be adjusted for the really outnumbered side (for instance attack only one field, etc.).
Flexibility helps here a lot, but the admin/setup CM can also do his part.
But those are my thoughts on this point.
I appreciate the difficulties with not having a central point for Squads to keep their details or email contacts at the moment, but can assure you Gremlin is working hard to get something in place sometime over the next couple of months, so your patience would be appreciated in the meantime.
Frankly, how many month is the old server down now?
But that is not the problem, just read the CM orders from last SSO series.
I am sorry things didn't work out well for some of you in yesterday's frame, but most of the problems were out of our hands. Maybe time for you all to work together more to make the Sunday SquadOps more successful?
I disagree. Frankly, your attitude is one of the problems SSO has.
I'm still waiting for Grayarea to assign his answers to my points I've written down. I would appreciate that, but I think, I've already said my opinion on most points.
Maybe you could ask yourself this, why did you have to go to the MA?? Would it not have been more productive if you stayed put and assisted your CO with the planning process. I happen to know that Vladd had some pretty good rides up for grabs during the period you were away. If you had stayed you could have claimed them.
Not everybody likes to wait 30min in tower, especially when the setup CM says, it will take him 30min to setup the arena again. Well, skyman did it faster. Way to go man! But this caused the people who went to the MA coming late and vultched on the runway. Well 5min late are normally not a problem, but in this setup the planes reached the enemy field in 5min.
You should also consider how people feel, after waiting 25min, maybe not all went to MA, and being vulched otr. Even MA bish gangbang missions take more time to reach their target.
As for the 12k alt limit, you must realise that this was a jabo event, it was not designed for alt monkeying, without it you would have been up against 35k 262s, and there would be no jabo rides making it to target with 30k cap covering the targets.
Cover, front sweep... you know what I mean?
262 in 35k?
Like it or not it was the same for both sides so as you say, it is a case of 'the best man wins'.
IMO this alt cap handicapped the axis planes more then the allies looking on performance and recommended tactics for the planes. Forcing P47 and Doras into low level furball is a bad joke, sorry.
But I repeat it.

Please run this setup on friday. I wanna see this "great idea" used not only for the few people in SSO. Everybody should benfit from it.
