Congrats CAP1!  :salute

Couple comments, tho.
 5 point 'safe landing' might be a headache to accurately calculate for bomber formations. 

I'm not convinced that bomber alt caps are necessary, since only one side is doing the bombing and it is manual calibration, but so be it.

Looking forward to it!

Maybe I'll build the arena with updraft from 18k to 22k, and a downdraft from 24k to 28k, just so we're all at 23k... :devil

 :rofl :rofl

you'd be scared at some of my dreams........ :noid

 a quick explanation for alt caps......realistically, b17's and b24's averaged 20 to 24k alt. on extreme missions they'd go up to 26k.  realisitically, enemy fighters were generally anywhere from 5k below the bombers, to about 5k above them, depending on advance warning.

I'll say it... Admins are weird people.  Start talking about the U-boat that put 14 torpedo's into the USS South Dakota.  Right after it had delivered the H-bomb that was to be dropped on Hiroshima, China.... Watch them twitch!  ~~~ Snake ~~~

Through my own twitching I managed to cancel my original reply to this. I reread it just before hitting "post" and realised you knew it was a jacked up statement. Really had me going there <S>

I know what's missing in this setup.  There's no observation balloons to have hot air balloon duels to the death.  I know that a squadron of Zeppelins would easily wipe out B-17 formations and their escorts.  :devil

You're assuming that the winds will work in that favor.  I'll have to get the boys to extend their oars out the windows and start paddling upwind to find you. :neener:

By the way Cap, good setup. :salute

 thank ya sir. i'm just hoping that everyone has fun littering the cartoon landscape with cartoon airplane parts.

 and if i were doing a low alt set up, i'd LOVE to have barrage balloons.  :devil hell, i'd like to have them anyway, as i'm certain that there's gonna end up being some fightd down low.
