im not ganna fly CT this week with that setup no goons or GVs so another week of endless furballing if i wanted to furball id go to the MA i thought CT was supposed to be historical. just better off flyin IL-2 atleast there if i ram someone we both die. and i dont gatta wait for 30+ hours for an arena to get fixed.

thought axis had the osti and allies had the M16?
-
yea but no pnzrs tiger m8 m3 and its a 1943 setup but have the planes in the setup wernt in 1943 might as well just take out the bombers and give both countrys the SpitV and get it over with.
Edit: ack down 2mins hangers 5mins now this is just getting retarded y not up the ammo load 100 times and set fuel burn to 0.001
-
Actually I agree with TK Reschke. Why not give us the goon? We might not capture England........again :D
-
I am sorry that we aren't able to accomodate 100% of the players 100% of the time but with the rash of milkrunning that has been taking place at all hours of the night I decided to go with this setup.
Besides the time frame represented doesn't allow for any offensive land operations by either side on other than the occasional commando raid and you can still do that by baling out of your plane at any time near a base or town.
:aok :p

ummm this setup (plane set "fudges" aside) *is* historical...
during this period the allies had no presence on mainland europe, the LW was no longer seriously threatening england either in air or by sea.
this was the time of the allied buildup in england, the war for the atlantic being pretty much over (and won). this period marked the mid-point in allied heavy bombing of industrial targets in France, Germany and countries around.
there wasn't much for the land forces on either side to do, the ponys had begun to arrive, easing pressure on the 38's escort role. the early jugs also arrived, but with fairly short legs and teething problems.
this left the allied medium bombers, and lighter jabos like the mossie and typh, with escort by spits and the early jugs/ponys, free to start tearing up coastal france and inwards in preparation for the invasion the following year, particulary airfields and rails.
most of the serious german action was east in russia and south in africa, with an impenmding invasion of italy by the allies.
yanno, the MA just might be for you truekill, it more suits your capture the flag style, but then it's harder to milk with buffs and gv's in the MA i guess :rofl
or you can use this opportunity to actually learn to fly a fighther better and work on them "historical" tactics such as proper escort and whatnot.
base capture has absolutely no place in this particular set up - it's simply not historical at this point.
it *was* a prime directive of the allied air forces to begin the destruction of the luftwaffe during this time frame.
-
Whaaaa. No GVs = Heaven.
-
The spawn points on this map kind of make GV battles non existant. Even if one those beach Vbases are captured they are milked during the wee hours.
-
How about posting the milkrunners and their nightly accomplishments on the boards? I know who some of them are but I'd like to know who all of em are! :D
-
Well, a nice surprise.
Clear conditions in the arena - as close as possible to the way they were at that time - I finally believe it is possible :).
The necessary adaptations to create the scenario are clearly stated. I'll bet 1$ it did not take much fudging parameters to get it done.
GV's are a necessary inclusion in WWII scenarios, when & where they were used, as ships also played their roles. War was never a 'single' armament confrontation, like CT seemed to be pressured into. But it did happen - like this week's setup. I just hope this setup will rotate with others, all different - sometimes catering to some people, some catering to others.
But, when the 'times' call for what was involved, gv's, a/c, bathtubs, sticks & stones, mebbe rubber bands & paper clips, it certainly will represent WWII better and so make it a historical scenario. ... hum, or is it histerical ?
It will be a pleasure to participate in an arena that offers variety along historical ... lines, sometimes a/c only, sometimes a mixture of some or all possibilities available.
MA's problem is that it is never different - always the same, just the maps change. MA grew to what it is and will stay there forever, biz is biz and the $$ have to roll in.
CT has the chance to offer a multitude of scenarios with different setups way beyond MA - the proof is here with this setup - it's ... different.
Btw, if I don't have gv's, I won't use them, I won't even THINK of them. No big deal, I can live with that easily, as much as I enjoy the all-round battles.
Oh, I still cannot find the 'green' tiger in the 'red' country, but if it's there I'll find it, and use it, M8's or no M8's - hehe.

i can pretty much seal the book on my idea about the CT being a DA with historical planesets
with this setup
:)
-
I agree with Taxi. I dont see a problem with leaving out parts of the inventory like GV's or goons if they were not an important part of the real events. The CT should (and I think the staff do) try to have as much variety as possible to please everyone as often as they can.

C'mon .... you can whine better than that. Can'tcha?
Fly a gorram plane and dogfight for a week and ween yourself from focusing on nothing but playing RISK High ... errr ... Low.
Pretend it's TOD where you are a pilot assigned to .... well ... fly an airplane. ;)
-
arlo im runin low on my whine i need to order a few more 50gallon drums of it :lol and whats this TOD Tour Of Duty hows that ganna change the game.
-
Well ... it certainly won't be the endless furball that seems to bore you to tears. However ... with TOD you'll have to create a pilot character and perform missions that are focused at giving a sense of immersion. It'll be highly unlikely that it'll allow your pilot to take an M3, load it up with ten super-troopers and capture porked out airfields. So there'll still be an excuse to whine. :D

Pretty sure you select a side and a unit and you'll be flying what it flew in the war.

Sadly, I'm pretty sure that it will never be implemented.

While I'm not taking a position one way or the other, just to clarify, I think what Gw was trying to say is, nobody was in the CT, and if you had been listened too/selected for the CT Staff there would be some folks in there.
-
Now I can't say I disagree with that! :aok
But that's off the record of course.
-
YEAH!!! NO TROOPS!!!!!
and I thought people went to the MA for the land grab game.
