Fixed.  The object down time multiplier was set at .01.  I confess guilt, I think I put this into the CT defaults way back when I did the Dunkirk week.

Should work fine now.

Not much discussion about this setup yet, I guess everyone's having fun. :)

Title: Base capture
Post by: gear on March 08, 2006, 06:17:22 PM

Is the base capture off?
I dropped 20 troops on a VB and nothing.

Operation Torch settings enable.  Looks like some interesting plane matchups can come out of this.  Fly it before the circus moves to Italy.

XVI is missing.

Although it's modelled as a XVI it is also a 1944 LF IXe, these did serve in the Med.
Just submitted a 40 Sqn SAAF LF IXe (on the XVI) that served in Italy in 1944.

V is also missing. Used both the FR V and F V in theatre.

Will also check on the XIV's. (But I don't think so)

Only theatre the LF IXe / XVI didn't serve in was the P.T.O.

It isnt missing, the Seafire is being used to sub for the Vc.

Actually we aren't having our squad night in the AvA. :( We're having a practice session for the next scenario instead...

Ahh tks.
Poor sub though, no Vc's used the Merlin 46 in our Seafire IIc.
Probably why we need the old Vc back or a Seafire LIII.

What about the LF IXe (XVI)?

 I agree.  maybe, then the allied players will actually leave the ack occassionally.  In hordes of course.

Its close enough, far closer than some of our other sub's.

This setup has been forged by Sable (kneedrgr) - thank you, sir! - I think he's thought his way to make the setup playable from both sides with the current AH-planeset available.

Sable. :)

The LF IXe is available - it's the XVI, same plane, just motor manufactured in the U.S. instead of the U.K.

LF IXe = XVI : XVI = LF IXe
IDENTICAL apart from the Merlins country of manufacture.

As stated earlier the LF IXe was used in Italy in 1944.
