Second Sino Japanese War 1937-1941.
On 13 September 1940, the Zeros scored their first air-to-air victories when 13 A6M2s of the 12th Kokutai led by Lieutenant Saburo Shindo
attacked 27 Soviet-built Polikarpov I-15s and I-16s of the Chinese Nationalist Air Force, shooting down all the fighters for no losses.
WO Koshiro Yamasnota became the first Japanese Naval Aviator to make ace in a day downing 5 of the 27 Chinese fighters.
Before they were redeployed a year later, the China based Zeros had shot down a total of 266 Chinese aircraft.

Shifty deserves the Credit for this setup, but i made a change to it. Please bear in mind shifty has written alot of great setups. you might want to thank him for them. I made a change to this particular setup for a reason. i want to try something. if it works out, ill leave it. if it doesn't ill change it. Please don't give me alot of crap about it. i just want to see what happens.
thanks again shifty your another one of you great setups! <S>
if i missed something please let me know

Good idea Jaeger... :aok

Hmm

:O Zeke vs. I-16...... :bolt: Don't let 321Bar know. :D

A6M5b? That's 1943.

Supposed to be A6M2. It's a typo I'm hoping.
{edit}
I just went into the AVA and the A6M5 is enabled in place of the A6M2. This is not the setup I proposed so Jaeger can have the credit for it.
-
Nice setup Shifty and something different. :aok
I know you would never stick the A6M5 in a 37-41 setup.
My guess is that someone has tampered with your design and I bet I don't need but one guess to tell you who's grungy fingers have been on it. :rolleyes:
To this dolt I would say, if you want to dick around with a setup, do so with your own and leave others designs alone, especially when they are trying to keep it as historical as possible. It is not your personal arena, get it?
And to the other AvA CM's I would ask that you please be careful who you give the keys to.
:salute

Meoowww...

We certainly do need some japanese tanks. :headscratch:

M8 mate... :lol That's probably as close as we're going to get to having Jap tanks...ever.
-
in order to make fighting more conducive, and per request, 3 bases have been changed to japanese, and the I16 is now available at all bishop Vbases. ive tried to modify the MOTD to reflect changes, however im having a problem with it. i will try it again later, but for now, its not in the motd.

jap tanks were half the size of a m4

You're thinking about the shoe box sized light tanks...check out their medium and heavy tanks.

Hope Jaeger fixes the base capture bug.
Currently unable to capture V bases, both myself and DocEvil have tried.
-
Is it a bug, or did you miss a manned gun or not bring enough troops. This is very important to know. Thanks for bringing this to his attention. :aok
Jaeger, check your PMs please sir.

With the ongoing SEC scenario I would like to see the manual calibration mode for BUFFS if that's possible, I'm asking this because I dont know if TA has the manual calibration mode enabled anywhere.
This is not the only motivation in typing this. AvA has no icons, this leads to a more simulation style to the game, even more with Auto Calibration OFF :pray
Mine is just a suggestion, yes or no?
-
It has always been manual calibration in AvA.
Has it recently changed?
-
Chewie, I haven't done any bombing in the AvA with this setup and I haven't seen any notices that the calibration has been changed to easy mode. If it was set to "easy mode" it's to try and get more participation from bomber types...just an experiment at this point to see if it makes a difference in attendance.
-
default bombing mode in the AVA is manual calibration.

yep, checked that out yesterday, sorry. I remember that it was default in AvA then for some reason it was changed to easy mode (a long while back) ... if my memory isn't starting to loose things all around.. :uhoh
BTW, great fun yesterday night, really. One of the funniest nights in AH that I'll remember. I had the tracking system enabled for even more immersion. Night time was really fun and appreciated by me!!!
Me and my squaddie 4brkfast messed for few first sorties in I-16s, w/o winging so much but getting shot down a lot, no match in close combat against the A6M2. :airplane: Then we tried the SBD, a couple of times in different planes, some sorties together in 1 plane gunning in the backseat for eachother: same result :lol. So we stepped back to the I-16 and winged together like she was a 190A8 in the MA, scored and landed a lot of kills. :banana: It was a real blast. Thanks a lot guys. :rock :cheers:
:salute

when used properly and efficiently (and 1Duke1 isn't flying against you), the I16 can be a monster. I've gotten quite a few kills with it. usually on unsuspecting victim's!
Duke made it pretty interesting last night. i knew right away when he was on my tail and then it was just a matter of time. Great fights duke! :salute
It was a blast while i was in there. The planes being able to take off from Vbases to keep the fights close worked out well. although i found that people need to get their landing gear up just a bit sooner when taking off out of the hanger! :D
<S> to all that played last night
-
Last night was indeed a blast...I should have gotten on earlier...would have given me more time to pad Chewi and 4brkfast scores... :D And I'm not apologizing for shooting some of you guys in the face...the guns on that baby zeke are weak and that I16 is like shooting at an armored car.
IMO when there are people in the AvA, it's the best arena around...non stop action and tense fights.

:O Zeke vs. I-16...... :bolt: Don't let 321Bar know. :D
guess what? :D i know!!!

I jumped in too. As a relative newbie, I spent most of my time trying to stay alive ( I flew Bishops). Some of the "you pick the zeke off of my tail and I'll check yours" seemed to keep us in business longer than I thought. This was a great deal of fun. I can see where greater squad integration/wingman tactics would help. Thanks for letting me play.

feel free to come in anytime...... bring a friend! <S>

:aok Welcome, as you pointed out, cooperation with fellow countrymen seems to be the best way to maintain a SA. Enemy icons off, has had the greatest impact on the game, and in a good way. I believe like Jaeger1 says, if more folks would try it out and bring a friend, the appeal would grow to the numbers that we haven't seen in a while.
BTW, is Fianna your in game ID? Want to give you a :salute when I see you, for trying something new.

Never put in easy mode calibration!!!
The main reason I was drawn to the AvA was manual calibration, it is perfect practice for FSO while enjoying a 'historical' nature on our own time.
Easy mode, dumbs things down. The AvA is historical and should stay that way. If you want easy mode, go into the main arena.

It is. I've been stooging about, trying to learn more than I can using the offline mode. My schedule hasn't enabled me to set up time with a trainer yet, so I've been dabbling in the arenas, in an attempt at learning by osmosis. And augering in. :headscratch:
