figure 9pm EST. it will be a one shot deal. axis will have 3 betty's and escorts, and allies will try to shoot them down. as one betty dies, the next one becomes yamamoto until there are none left. should one of the 3 betty's land, yamamoto wins, should they all die, allies wins. id like to do 1 bomber and 3-4 escorts and there will be 3 bombers and escorts total. the rest will be allies. we all take off at the same time, and its a race to find the bombers or get to the airfield. radar will be off. you will have to find them by eye sight alone.

let me know if this works for everyone?

thanks to everyone that participated tonight. it was a perfect execution. the bombers and the p38's showed up at the same time. it was a great run and a great setup.

yamamoto is dead, allies win! congrats to all!

they killed the betty's and then had an epic furball! it was pretty wild actually. based on my calculations, after they dropped their droptanks they had 28 minutes of fuel left. at a 2.0 burn rate, they had enough time to fight for 10 minutes before heading back.

as far as i know, on one P-38 survived and he landed on a carrier.

it was a great time no matter what!

I don't think any of the 38's made it back, AFAIK I was the last 38 standing and I had a swarm of angry axis planes chasing me out of there.   The idea of flying all the way home seemed a little boring so I turned around, didn't last long after that. :)

Next time you run this setup, you must turn off kill messages & run logs.  This is so more than one guy can claim the kill on Yamamoto, then you can let it brew on the boards who got him. When the kettle is about to boil over, release the name and fame  :x  THAT would be cool  :airplane:

By the way, who was the lucky SOB that got the Emperor's Golden boy?

we had 3 yamamoto's, i was one and got face shot, right off the bat, cant remember by who though! on that note notch, can you tell us how to run and disseminate logs? we were just talking about using them.

I landed my P-38 on acarrier, but never made it to the battle. Poor planning. I was late, forgot to add extra fuel and was just about dry half way there.

when that happens, open up the E6B. look at it. you'll see different rpm and manifold pressure settings.....you can stretch that fuel.

 that being said......in the p-38, i generally roll with 50% internal, and 2 drop tanks. the only exception to this, may be if we have crazy turny stuff, and i'm in the "J"....then i take 25% internal, and 2 drops.

Very good question, I do know that it is a dot command. Something like  .startlog, then it goes in to a file
in the AH directory like a photo or film.  The racing guys & FSO guys use them all the time. I will check around
to see how to read them :aok
