We'll be flying one mission per Sunday at 7:00pm Eastern, starting on the 14th.
No 38s? :(
The OOB for the Americans will included the P-47 D11 and B-17G. The Luftwaffe will have the Bf109G and the Fw-190A4.-- Only Aircraft in this SSO for this weekend!
I'm in, gonna see if I can get some mopre of KN.I'm guessing you'd like to be slotted in with a Bf-109?
Boo is in. I prefer German side but will fly fighters on either side. I'm as useless in a bomber as tits on a boar. I will also bring a couple Loose Deucers with me if needed.Bf-109 or Fw-190?

No 38s? :(If the room could take 24 players, I'd have a flight of P-38s.

Great set up! Do we have basic rules such as alt of bombers? Who is Axis command? 109 gruppe? 190 Gruppe? As minimum can the four 190 sticks try and get together in DA this Friday or Saturday, even for 15 mins? Ideal if 109s could join. Helps avoid FUBAR at 30k.

Who is Axis command?I need some one to step up as the German CO, would you be willing?
Boo
I'll make both Boo :aok
BTW: Had a chance to read the .pdf. Nicely done. :salute
Quick clarifying question. The set-up calls for the 190A4. I haven't checked recent updates though am only able to choose from A5 and A8. Preference?It's a typo, should be A5.

Note that I've changed it to "Three Days Over Germany '43", three frames will be enough.
For German flyers, we have the basic setup. We will run a practice mission Saturday night at 6 PM Central, then Frame 1 Sunday at 6 PM Eastern. We will meet in the custom arena assigned to two different fields.I'll be at the meeting saturday morning but I cant gaurantee the practice at night.
We have darbar with a delay though no dot radar. This means we can see what sector they are in but have to scout them out. The Allied buffs cannot go over 24k, so we should have alt. No limits on their fighter alt. This is a one-life event so no John Wayne crap. It's about flying smart and patient.
Beyond this, I don't want the Amerikaners to know anything other then I want Betty Grable and the Andrew Sisters when we win. Throw in that Scarlett O'Hara lady and its looking good. Screw Hitler! I want to win the war for all the right reasons.Ze women, how much for ze women? :devil
Ill fly a 17
Ill fly a 17Okay Rich52, you've got the last slot.
I am in, B-17 pls, who will be the CO & how do I axcess the arena?Unfortunatley, we are full. But if you're around it'd be great if you stop by as we're likely to have a no-show or two. I'm running the campaign, Kten is leading the B-17 group.
SCORINGHow does this work for the Luftwaffe? Should a Luft pilot bail imediatly from a crippled plane to deny the Allies points?
Basically you lose points for lost aircraft and crew, and gain points for shooting down aircraft and hitting ground targets.
This is the current weighting of points. So for example if an Axis Fighter shoots down a bomber it's worth 5 pts for the Axis, plus -18 pts for the Allies. Now if bomber is shot up but makes it back to England only to crash land or bail out, it's only -3 points for the Allies as the crew survived. Note that the crew lives are worth more than aircraft.
How does this work for the Luftwaffe? Should a Luft pilot bail imediatly from a crippled plane to deny the Allies points?
If it's crippled in that you can't land it, then yeah bail out. Because if your pilot dies that's more "negative" points for your side. Also, it will count against you in your personal stats if your pilot dies.I meant crippled as in can't land.
If it's crippled in that it's combat ineffective, then land it because that will save the aircraft and reduce "negative" points for your side.
I won't be able to make it - let 999000 take my spot. I apologize in advance.No problem, thanks for letting me know.
:salute
I apologize for disappearing. A car crash took out our internet Friday night, thus missing Saturday morning, evening and today. I should be up and ready now.Bummer!

If the burn rate is the same and I am still in the A5 (rather then say the D9 or 152) - then my vote is for DTs - but I think the Gruppen leader should have the final say.Keep in mind that with the "improved" radar (ie I figure out some more about what I can do with the arena setup), you really should not have to spend much time patrolling, if any.
I would love to. I will fly luftwaffe if there are any more slots left .Great we need Luft pilots! See frame #3 post for next frame and indicate what you'd like to fly.
I was part of a flight of four 109's that left A49. Our mission was to intercept and destroy the bombers, and to disrupt their fighter cover if at all possible. Just as I had spotted the bomber stream and prepared to make my run I was attacked by two P47's that had altitude on me. They made a couple of passes before turning for home.
