Hokay folks, when is the first S-E-N (Spec event night)? I wanna be there. Who's hosting? What era? What missions? Axis vs Allies with the Rooks being the prize. Which ever side wins ALL Rooks must immediately subjugate themselves, (Prostate prefered) before the conquerers! In other words, WHEN the Bishops WIN, the Rooks must all sqich over to the Bishops side for the rest of the month. (Ok ok ok! The res of the night. [Ducks thrown chairs, bottles, bullets.] Well how about for a couple hours then?) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I want to try and have something ready for next week. We'll be working on getting an arena for events operational and working out some other details.

We should try a big level bombing stike.
All players online get on one or the other of 2 sides..
side one 80% of arena. 80 planes? 60 b17s 20 p51s..
side, 2 10 * fw190 10 * bf109g10.
All bombers set too 12 500s with salvo on 12...
Strike at 22k. on city and main field...
Wa ha ha ha..
and again
Wa ha ha ha...

I would do this, and would fly the LW side, so long as a 25K hard ceiling is placed on the bombers. The thought of 60 untouchable B17's flying over the country doesn't much appeal to me either way.
-
I'm in...I'll fly either side
But I agree w/dolo on the 25k hard ceiling.

Whew, the last time I saw just 3 B-17's flying formation, frame rates dropped about 75%. Would a mass formation of bombers even work? Sounds like an interesting acid test of the sim's capabilities.

Sounds to me like a
CHALLENGE!!!!
Let's pick a time for a major launch
and check out the Hardware - software.
After all, what is BETA 4?!!?!!
Would love to do myself but gone for next week.

why put a ceiling limit on the bombers,how about we try sum strategy.WOW what a concept,ya mean thats legal?seriously,fighters should plan there strike when the bombers will be vulnerable,such as takin off or over the target or landing,use rockets on bomber boxes or hold out cold beer and draw them away

Boy, this tone sounds familiar....
FWIW, 60 B17's would be a formidable target at any alt. With the relative performances of the respective a/c in mind, facing 60 35-40K bombers would be something only 20 LW could never hope to counter. 25K would give the LW a fight that would be more realistic, and simultaneously, a fight in which there would be at least a sliver of hope of completing successfully. Take a 190 to 30K and you'll see what I mean.
Also remember that the B17's will have escort - 20 P51's? That's 5 to 1 odds. I'm more than happy to try, but not over 25K, thank you. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

Ah, for those of us poor souls who have to work evenings, please post a film so we would be able to see this massive bomber formation!!
shhhhhhhhhh, but if I knew when to call in sick(heheee)..................

Ahhh, lets see... Where will I put the kill markings on my 109... Hmmm... I guess the rudder will be just fine... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

What dolo said. We want to represent the bombers forming up over england...
So the bombers wont get harrassed forming up, but they get no resuply of escorts either.. We want to see the big battle so the LW gets to form up for the first pass. Any LW pilots can respawn..
If we let the fight start in the target country at alt then there should be minimum spawning attrition, IE the Escorts will have to decide whether to engage those Hi 109s at the border or try to push through to be there for the big hit befor the target..
That is why I thought the lower ceiling on the buffs. I would want the LW to get one HO in ... There is no way they are going to stop the bombers, would be interesting to see the results. Also 25k allows the interceptors to re launch for the flight home.
We could have a B26 Camera plane on each side to film the whole thing....
Do you think enough people would be willing to fly the buffs?

Ever heard of LW using roketens on the first pass? Get anywhere near that many close flying buffs and yer bound ta hit at least one of em. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Of course, those .50's will chew you up shortly there after. hehehe
Now what's all this about my purtty mouth?

Oh, yes, I've heard of the mortars carried by the 190's... curious, has anyone effectively used them in AH? I confess I have not, but I'm pretty sure I could never get a 190 to 30K to find out, and that is my point.
Look, I don't mind the overwhelming numerical odds; I don't mind having to face escort with superior performance; what I would mind is facing the prospect of chasing planes with a ceiling 10K above mine and not having a chance to intercept. Likewise, I don't want to be a buff spitting on the heads of the helpless LW below, knowing the fight was won before we ever "engaged". (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
