And will the ammo be upped or will it be easyer to shoot down with spit wads?

I believe it will be standard ammo and lethality.
Personally I'm not looking forward to the Ju-88 round. If I had to reconsider I would definately consider putting the Ju-88 on the 'Shouldn't use this' list.
After all there are Bomber/Attack planes with no pilot operated guns and of course they can't be used. They include the B5N2 and Ki-67. While the Ju 88A-4 has a gun, it certainly has very limited ammo and it isn't very lethal.
Of course some Bomber/Attack planes do have pilot operated guns and some of these are regularly chosen. They include the A-20G, Boston III, D3A1, IL-2 Type 3, Ju 87D-3 and the SBD-5.
Looking at the Ju 88A-4 it actually looks like the gun the primary trigger fires is infront of the co-pilot. That fact should eliminate it from the available planes, IMO.
In fact I am going to discuss this with WMLute and come to a decision before we hold SatKOTH.

well here is a thought! since fuzeman and Lute are the KOTH CM's, why can you not UP the lethality of the Ju** for just this round?
:D

:aok

YES! make the lethality 10 times higher. buffs circling around with lasers:eek:
-
After much soul searching, and rigorous testing, I have decided that the JU88 is now on the "we can't use" list for KOTH's.
It's just not viable.
SASKID has chosen the Tempest as the first ride instead.

Just like we don't do anything to the fuel burn if a Me 163 is used I feel we should not change settings like this to keep the 'same as in MA' standard we usually follow.
And I know someone will point this out.
With the exception of never using external views, of course.
Also, I fear a certain CM (me) would probably forget to unset it and then when we have a round with lethal weaponry, they would be ubermegalethal.

ME???

ehehehehe. Of course your harmless when I am behind you.:t :noid

Friday KOTH was added to accomodate the Euro timeslot. It also fits the schedule for early US players.
Saturday KOTH was the original and accomodates the majority of the US.
It usually lasts long enough for most people to get in a round or three.
If you pick on the Wabbits, and you should, who knows how many rounds.
We need to call WMlute's place of employment and make sure he has a full schedule :)

had a blast :aok
