And do it as accurately as possible history wise. November 44, Merseberg time maybe. Same time frame as DGS. Get the Jug drivers in D-25s or 30s, B and D ponies. 38j and L 38s. Put a piece of history within the game as best you can. As Del says, we'll bring you some escorts

However, historically the Axis knew they were fighting the Allies, and they would be
coming to hit their country. Everybody knew who the enemy was and who's targets would be hit.
If this doesn't ruin everything, would it be fair to ask if you are going after Knits or Bish? Last MoM many spent an hour just trying to find out which country you were attacking to join in. You might negate some people spying to find out who you've chosen for an opponent. Not asking the actual targets, just what one-third of the map you will be operating in so people can give you a good fight.
Perhaps a classic long range NOE run at the two opposing countries' HQs to hit shortly before mission launch.
If you use your resources to up the bombers far enough back to climb and level and have a screen of fighters sweep ahead you'll be much better off than trying to prevent "spies" from raining on your parade.
Bong, you are missing my point.
If a spy reports our launch bases and takeoff times the opposition can be
in the air and over the launch bases before we ever get airborne.
There will be no "fighter sweep" because they will be getting
vulched as they launch.
Not a problem if you launch away from the frontline.
This is only possible because we have to advertise the missions publically and
solicit wider ROOK involvement. Because we want to get as many
players as possible into the mission, we leave about 30 minutes for
people to join. Unfortunately, this gives our adversaries tons of time
to reach and orbit our bases and flight path at high alt so they can
have a grand old time at the bombers and (still-heavy) escorts expense.
The idea behind MoM is not to setup a baby seal clubbing festival for the
Bishops or Knights. We want a fair battle. Spying of the type
I have already outlined makes achieving that goal more difficult.
From the interest alone generated here on the BBS alone you have a lot of people wanting to play. Have one of your escort wings up right from the beginning to go ahead and defend your launch bases if your that worried.
Once we get the squadron-based participation of MoM squared away,
that will no longer be a problem as the missions will no longer be
advertised for the broader ROOK community.
At that point lets just move it to the SEA and make it a monthly DGS thing.
Until that time, I will enjoy finding ways to turn the cheaters into
assets for our team. It adds a whole new dimension to the
experience...and I guess that means a heightened level of
realism too. :)
wtg? :rolleyes: sounds sillier than actually spying in a video game
Finally, do you, in your wildest imaginations, ever see that a swarm
of 200 bombers and 100 fighters would not meet with significant opposition?
I don't think that any MoM mission can ever be a "cake walk"!
We will always attract far too much attention for that to ever occur. :O
actually due to the games limitations no one will ever see a swarm of bombers and fighters that big. Thats why your bombers complained of not being able to see their attackers until they were under 2k out. Your missions are fun but they are nothing on what the last two frames of DGS were. Again, I think with the numbers your event can obviously attract your going to (or already have) hit a critical mass of players. You'll need to split up the bomber groups and give them different targets to ever get past this limitation.
kinda hate the implimentation your group pursues.
I've been waiting a month for this!!! :salute LCA
Please use the 47N, it has better hi alt performance at WEP than the D-25.
TA-152 vs. 47N will be a great fight at 30k!
Wish you would offer some explanations on why you feel this way
and what you would do differently.
Anyway, always looking for some well-reasoned ideas on how
this might be improved.
So man those bombers...please!~ :pray
As Shuffler said, I think you are going to find you have alot of twin engine B38s (P38s) helping out that night.
Sounds fun, look for 474th colored 38s :).
Please avoid all these hassles by just joining the
P-38 group once that mission is posted. No, you won't
be in your squad's skin but a least you won't miss the party. :t
Frankly, I'd rather run into a wall of Me262s than fly with the generic skin.
Hey Delta, If you don't have the Bomber numbers where you need them to be, Can you post here or on 200?
That photo can be read one of two ways..... I see it as a tribute to all the dead 152 pilots. Those that have died and those that will die.

Quick clarification; What time do we assemble in Texas-Time? (Austin)
:salute Delta96. I was a JUG pilot last MoM. It was really fun...Now I fly for BISH with the CLAIM JUMPERS this tour. I wonder if I can convince them to turncoat for one night, if not I will be upping in opposition to see how much fun I can have trying to wax some bombers. That leads me to ask, what is a historically accurate German rig that I could fly?
Oh, I dunno... Those wings make mighty-fine targets....
I didn't mean anything by it zoo, I was complimenting your fighter cover. :)
While many Bish jumped ship to join this thing....It burned the crap out of me to hear the spy hype only to see the Knits up nothing but German Iron and see 262's on the rook side.The really sad part is the Rook planning was top notch.Fantastic.Im sorry it was tainted by a few arse munches that had to try to game the whole thing.You 262 pile its for rooks.You will forever be known to me and others as a holes.The few that cant let anything good happen in this game.Your the type that vulches memorial missions and you can all apply lips to my arse.You know who you are.And now so do we.Pathetic examples of dog cap.
This was a good run.This was a good thing.Theres always some jackhole that has to try to pad the score and I wish to God HT would weed you co**suckers out.
Shame be apon you.dip s$its
i couldn't go but my squaddie F77 was in a b-17
(blue group, thank god it not green from what i heard)
my other squaddie's (KCfood) friend made him crash and die by hitting the joystick. (he had been waiting 3 months for this thing(bummer)) so kcfood joined f77 b-17 and shot down 2 me-262s, it was fun to hear the story.
wish i could have come but my lag kept me from doing so.
