Bombers will not go above 20K. Escorts and enemy interceptors should stay under 30k. Escorts can choose from P38L, P47N, or P51D. Axis interceptors have Ki-61, Ki-84, or N1K2.

Can't make it this week. schedule looks go for next weeks Wednesday night mission though. Have fun
-
i feel sorry for those poor allied fighters and bombers!! :cry it will be hard to see them in their final death throes as the superior IJN fighters pluck them out of the sky!!
good luck Allieds! <S> to the brave bomber and fighter pilots that are about to die!
-
I'll attend and fly the Ki-61. BTW, you spelled "Wednesday" wrong, just sayin'.
-
Holy Cow!

Of course, I will be in a "bomber"..just not sure yet ifluff'n it will be 4 engined or 2 engined <G>
cheers,

Thanks for the invite, RT will be there and looking forward to a good time.
EDIT:
Looking at some posts there seems to be some issues in the AVA or at least some have issues in the AVA that appear to be unresolved. Since we have not flown in AVA for some time as a squad due to some of the said issues, we will entertain this option again for the fun of it and hopefully be able to fly above the crap. :salute

Dadguns best thing to do is squelch 'em when they start the trash talking.
These kind of threads happen every other month. Its the same people whining about the same stuff but no one is willing to step up make make the changes they want to see made. Until then we will be stuck in a loop.
-
What time does this kick-off? if it's not too late i'll be there.
-
Hmmm...
Larry did you miss this part...
Since we have not flown in AVA for some time as a squad due to some of the said issues
I floated the idea of an occasional AvA squad night for the 71st (we dont have any formal squad night currently). Might as well try for wendsdays :D
Not sure if I can make it or not (more of a weekend warrior for now or 10pm and after) but I'll try....
-

I think 2AM london time.
I just logged on and that POS TT is still running on a wendesday. If its still up tonight the mission will be scrubbed since most of the arena will lose UDP and vox when they come into the AvA.

Is this normal for it to happen Larry, on TT's? I've never had this happen to me per se. Just wondering if I might be able to "move the pot closer to the front burner."
-
It always happens when TT is running. When it happens the most is when TT gets four or five hundred people on. Since the AvA shares the same IP as TT is screws with peoples connection and VOX. Not everyone gets VOX cut out but if IIRC everyone loses UDP which is a very bad thing when you are going to have large numbers of people flying in formation. Also its hard to give out orders when half the people around cant use or hear VOX. Last WNM had to be canceled because TT ran for three days. I just hope it doesn't happen again today.
-
cc that Larry. Let me see about this. Also, if it's at 9pm tonight, I'll try and get in there on time. I've been pitching in our 7 year old son's Coach-Pitch Little League games. If I'm not there at exactly at 9pm, don't sweat it, I'll be late at the worst.
:salute

8PM CST. If you're flying axis you don't really have to be there on time. It takes about 40ish minutes for the allies to get to target anyways. I just logged in again and thank god TT is down so mission is on .
-
I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow until 11am, so i may stay up to participate.
-
I had an ABSOLUTE BLAST! I'll be attending this regularly. :rock to all involved in this.
-
These are always fun no matter which side you're on.
-
Was a good night. Even got 2 kills in my Mustang :rock
.....
Till I got shot down by a friendly bomber :furious

The mission was fun, but the fights after were better. <<S>> all that were there tonight.

I ride the thin line of trying not to cockblock people for shots. If someone wants the kill, I'll be there to assist if they cannot get it.
I wasn't affected by this though. I shook the rust off of the Ki-61 and made a couple guys earn their kills on me.
-
I dont blame the pilot. He was trying to defend his buffs from his tail gun. Sadly, I got too close to his target and got my right wing blown off.

At least you showed up in time to play Deputy Dan. :aok

Uh... Like I asked before... Isn't killshooter turned ON in AvA... In other words, I don't think it is possible for a friendly bomber to blow your wing off... Now, maybe you shot the friendly bomber and killshooter got you. Or maybe you were hit by some puffy ack or something.
As for the AvA event. I was flying a formation of B17s. The flight was fairly fun, but from my point of view the Axis defense wasn't very organized. Seemed like we got a fighter or two at a time at the most. More fighters coming into the bomber boxes all together might have been more exciting. For me, jury is still out on whether or not I will make a habit of attending AvA events.

Killshooter is on. It's been years since we were permitted to turn it off.
Good to see you're keeping an open mind, look forward to having you in there more often while you assess things.
I missed the mission - it was all over by the time I got there - so how about some AARs?

Thank Jaeger and Kayara for that. They recruited most of the people that showed up.

Yes kill shooter is on.

This week was different then any other of our missions. Most of the time they know from what direction we are coming from. We saw them on radar most of the night and looks like the main group expected us from the east with a few scouts at some other places. When they did spot us they were all spread out and since those planes aren't as fast as they had trouble getting in a group ahead of us. When we have an ETO setup you'll see what kind of hell the axis can unleash.

Ok, my bad. :(
I couldn't tell who was shooting at who with the N1k shooting at the buffs, me shooting at the N1k, and the buffs shooting back. All this took place within 200 yrds.
Still, it was fun :aok

JG2 Had a great time last night. :salute
