Title: Planned missions.
Post by: Schutt on August 11, 2005, 07:31:35 AM
I like the planned missions, FB missions are always a blast.

Just as a comment i would appreciate it if the mission planers take only aircraft up that did fly together, or at least of which it would be imaginable to fly together.

So put either usn/raf or german/italian or japanise or russian or finnish. Mixing the planes in the mission makes it less fun and it looks pretty strange to have 110s be protected by ponys.

I dont think japanise and german planes flew alongside each other a lot, so mixing these is just the same. Russians did fly fighter protection for the RAF as far as i know, so that would make sense.

I agree with ya there,,,,,,somthin seems just wrong when mission is Ponys and Bf-110's

But I also appreciate the guys that even take the time to post missions, so no complaints here

Not that I'm Mr Mishun anymore (although we used to organize and fly in many long ago when I was a Bish in AH1), but one of the things that always struck me as problematic were the mission setups involving planes with huge differences in speed. The light CAP would arrive first, deack, then get chopped down by Osties and M16s. Then, the jabos would arrive to start dropping the VH and town, and get mowed down by the CAP and GVs. Then, the goon with 2 or 3 escorts at most would get mowed down by all of the above. As a second most common problem, IMO, was that of choosing 50cal armed planes to deack/vulch, 2 endeavors at which cannon armed planes excel. Third, were the joint Fighter/bomber missions where the aircraft rolled at the same time, instead of the buffs leaving for the target several minutes ahead of the fighters. This led to a minor variation of the first scenario I mentioned.
