Title: Bomber Squadron Competition - what if?
Post by: artik on July 16, 2004, 05:09:26 AM
We have lots of different events for fighters to show their pure personal skills:


What do you think about this:
Bombers Squadrons Competition

Registration
1. Each bomber group that what to participate in the event should registrate for it.
2. Each group should consist of same number of players in each ride (the group can consist of 7-8 players but in each stage only maximum 4 players can take part)

Competition
The competition will consist of number of stages which will test their skills in different bomber roles.
[list=1]
Other Rules




............................. .............

What do you think?

Also I've posted it at SE BBS (http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=123538)

Potentially interesting.

Ripsnort used to do something similar for attack planes with F4u trials.

Squad members all had to qualify, takeoff cv full load,  kill 3 targets with bombs/rockets, strafe final target, then land successfully.

You'd need a good impartial CM to setup/run the event.

Might be easier & more intersting to run it as a seriies of heats.  Failure to complete mission or RTB kicks you out.  Could even score points and best after 3 sorties wins.

Are you after the squad aspect of this?
Or would single players be able to compete?

I think the serias of rides will be more interesting testing all your strike skills like level bombing, naval ops, close GV support and others.... it would be much more fun and challanging

Yes you right I think several groups should make their runs in same time each making different role...... we will need couple of orbiters but.... finaly all will have to work to sucess...

It have to be a group of players - because strike ops done mostly in group..... It shouldn't be squadron but must be a team work

This will be very challangin to test all your skills and survive

The Mosquito Mk VI IS NOT A BOMBER!!!!!

Some people seem to be having persistant trouble with this concept.

It was flown as a multi-role aircraft by RAF Fighter Command, frequently as a pure fighter.

For a bomber Mossie we need the Mosquito B.Mk IV, Mosquito B.Mk IX or, preferably, Mosquito B.Mk XVI.

Yes you right but.........
It is used more frequently in strike role then as pure fighter.........
It is excellent strike plane but quite poor fighter..... (as 110 that was used also as fighter in BoB)

One more

This competition aim is
To compare different strike abilities of different teams
If it is level bombing., ground forces support, strike tactical operations, naval operations....
It doesn't mean that bombers only will be used in this role........
Actually in last section (special ops) fighters can be used.....

For example P-51, P-47, Fw-190, Typhoons with bomb load can be used for some kind of low level stike operations.
