This is the planned setup for this coming Friday the 20th. My HD crashed a few days ago, but thankfully I had already posted the setup in the AVA staff forum. Soda or one of the staff will set this up for me until I get back. Right now I am viewing boards and e-mails only until I fix my HD or purchase and load up a new one.
I am not sure about the spawn points for the GV's as I tossed them in as an after thought from Fork.

Sweet.

That looks good! One question, "Killshooter - on", does that apply to tail gunners hitting another bomber? It'd be pretty easy to kill accidently kill yourself in a close formation.
-
I am not 100% sure, but I don't think you can shoot bombers in your own formation, just others if kill shooter is on.
-
Thanks Dad. Looks good.
-
Looks good. Looks like the Thursday Night Mission is ganna be B17s & P51s vs. 109K4 & 190A8s.
Edit: Ill load up the mission fields and targets when the mad is loaded.
-
One thing I see wrong is theres no 109G6 and Tiger.
-
looks awesome.
-
Should be setup now
-
I don't know if it was made this way but fields in england and most bases back off the front line have no planes. I wanted the B17s and DPonys to take off from england so they can get up to alt.
-
I think daddog's original idea was to use just the bases marked on the map. But maybe someone could enable the planes at your field of choice on Thursday for the mission. Or make the bombers and escorts fly a round or two above the sea to get alt.

Would like a CM to enable the b17 and p51 on a large AF some where in southern england. Don't think its a good idea to up a mass of bombers and heavy ponys that close to the front line. All it would take is one guy to scerw up the mission. If they could enable them at A21 grid 8,11,4 it would be great.
-
a suggestion. you have ackllied bases within two sectors of the acksis HQ. that seems to be short sightedness at best. may I suggest those to channged to the acksis side? these bases are on the acksis side of the seine btw.
-
I added the b24, b17, and p51D at A21, I dont think Daddog would mind...
As for the other bases being to close to HQ, I'll let daddog respond to see if he wants to change that up...
-
Thanks soda I made the mission pic already but need kong to host it on JG54 website because all I have is geocities and banwith there is like 10mbs I think.
-
Gents,
With my HD down I really can't even look to see where the HQ is and make adjustments let alone get online and correct oversights on my part. I am trying to recall, but I don't think HQ is going to be a real problem.
Soda thanks for setting this up. Np with A21. :) You guys make adjustments as you see fit.
-
Thought I'd have a look at this one, see if things had changed, guess not.
D-DAY +90 = so guessing early Sep 1944.
190D9 - Jan 1945
No Spit 16 (LF IXe) - Jun 1944
No Tempest - Apr 44
So yet another -
crippled allied planeset v a "yet again lets put in it ealry" LW planeset.
And you wonder why you can't get guys in, SHEESH.

If I'm wrong I'll apologise, but I'm not.
2TAF flew a mixutre of Spits, but mainly LFIX and LFIXe (XVI), so I guess your saying they didn't exist.
Basically you've just done what the Germans couldn't, eliminated the most flown Spit of 1944.
The D-9 at our boost was ready to be deployed end of Dec 1944, so wouldn't have seen service till Jan 45 at the earliest.
So you've just introduced it 4 months ahead of time.
Dunno whats worse-
The fact you still like to advertise the AvA as historical, or the fact that some of you seem to believe it.
Something constructive -
Maybe if you actually do make it historical, you might get some more guys to try it out. (not that I expect it to happen)
-
As much as I despise getting in an argument on the intardnet my suggestion would be to either A) see if you can join the staff and help with the scenarios or B) participate even if you don't like the set up and make constructive suggestions on how to improve them.
Respectfully yours,

Give it up, Dicho. So far as I know, Kev367 rarely, if ever, comes into the AvA. You could let him do the setup himself, and he still wouldn't come in for more than an hour a month. He is the epitome of a dog in the manger. Periodically he will look in, find that an enabled airplane is either a month too early or a month too late, declare that no one flys in AvA because it has not even a remote connection to history, make fun of the staff for being self-delusional imbeciles, and prance off to cleanse the next chapel. I assume from his opening clause that we should be grateful that he has deigned to take a look at Daddog's setup. I, for one, am not. Frankly, I am sick and tired of his nasty little-dog yapping, and I urge him to simply stay away from the AvA, give his self-important lectures to small, ignorant children, and fly in the more historical Main Arenas.

Truth hurts doesn't it?
Yes when the AvA was 'reborn' I did come in quite a few times during the initial RPS setup, until I realised all that changed was the name.
As did most other people, and they left also.
1 hour a month, your being generous.
Constructive? OK here goes -
2TAF had 14 (ish) LFIX and IXe in 1944, in fact they made up roughly half of 2 TAF strength.
The LFIXe is the same as the XVI, so enable the XVI.
2 TAF also contained some Tempest squadrons, so enalble them also.
The D9 was at best Dec late 1944, morel likely Jan 45, so should be disabled.
Constructive enough?
What you have at the moment is basically saying that 2 TAF which was setup specifically for the invasion was 'missing' around half its force.

RGR that Old
Kev
I retract anything that might have offended you in any of my posts as you are obviously an expert and I am flying bait. I hope you take this in the spirit in which it is intended.
Warmest wishes
Someone who disagrees with your perception.

No problem.
It's just I know my Spits.
I just find it incredulous that almost 1/2 of 2 TAF's fighter strength is mysteriously 'missing'.
Given the fact that 2 TAF was SPECIFICALLY formed for the upcoming D-Day invasion.
Even if was decided that XVI shouldn't be used as a stand-in LF IXe (which would be a ridiculous decision, they are the same plane with the motor manufactured in different countries), it would still be around a short time after.
If they are 'willing' to introduce a D9 4 months ahead of time, there shouldn't be a problem with 1 or 2 months, should there?
Probably a lot of people who still don't know or realise -
LF IX - 1943 with 303s
LF IXe - pre June 1944 with 50cals
Both with Merlin 66
XVI - Oct 1944 Merlin 266 (Merlin 66 maunfactured in the US, 2 meaning manufactured abroad)
Spit XVIs and LF IX came off the same assembly line side by side.
Only thing that decided whether it was a IX or XVI was where the motor that was fitted, was manufactured.

As I said.. see if you can join the AVA staff and make changes. *shrug*
Sadly I couldn't trust my connection enough tonight to get in the air. Big storms in N Texas.
Bummer :cry

Kev367th is a runner and the epitome of lame game player, a totally repugnant personality. he should be a BoP as he would feel right at home with that group. I was warned via PM by another player that he is also the father of one of the higher ups at HTC and that I might find myself banned from the BBS and the game if I called him names.

LOL, you are so full of it.
I think you actually believe that pile big brown smelly doodoo.
Me a father of one of AH higher ups LOLOLOLOLOL.
Where do you get this crap from. (even Truekill would tell you its crap)
A quick look at the BB and the numerous run-ins I've had with HT would show this to be a pile, just like the rest of your 'statement'.
Sorry Storchy your credibility (what was left) has just vanished in a puuf.
Maybe one day you'll enlighten them to whole running incident, HUH?
The co-alt A6M and you in your F4-U4, what 5-6K higher?
Me in a climbing heavy Tiffy for the CV.
How I drug you to the deck and you were DUMB enough to follow.
Then tried to rope me, LOLOLOLOLOL.
HUH?
Is it really true you only open your mouth to change feet?
Must be, some-one PM'ed me in game (allegedly) and said it was.

No-one has yet explained the mysterious disappearence of 50% of 2 TAF fighter force?
Remembering - 2 TAF was specifically formed for the D-day invasion.
Guess 1/2 (Spits) went home in Sept for a well deserved rest, tea and crumpets.

You do know we are not re-enacting the D-Day invasion don't you?:huh

Kev they tryed haveing a Rhine map with brit planes enabled. Every allied was flying spit14s and temps. There are no perks in the AvA so anyone can up them. They tryed limiting the bases they fly outa but that only ment they fly two sectors and came in at 25k in them. Its no fun trying to find a fight at 5k with cons B&Zing you with uber planes.
-
Kev, the fact that Storch, Slash, TK and I all agree that you are not being helpful should tell you something. I cant, in the 4 years I've been here, remember anything that we all were on the same side before.
Your view of the AvA staffs handling of certain sets is well known. Feel free to continue to offer that view if you wish, and expect to have it ignored.

Well its called D-Day + 90, so like I said way, way, back I'm guessing it's around early Sept 1944. (June + 90 days if my math serves me)
I guess they are saying that by Sept, 2nd TAF had all gone home (or at least the Spits and Temps had).
Truekill - Thanks for trying to explain things.
It falls down one one point though - the XIV IS ENABLED.
Gritts - Doesn't surprise me that you all 'close ranks' so to speak, in fact I'd expect it.

What would you know about it? You don't fly the AvA ,you just lurk on the BBS waiting to cry about Spitfires. Why is that anyway?
