We will be conducting an 8th Air Force Mission vs Luftwaffe Mission in the Allied vs Axis Arena this Thursday night at 9PM EST/8PM CST. All are welcome to attend and participate either as 8th or LW. This is a multi-life event. Bring your pocket full of quarters because we'll make you go broke before your done.

All Allied aircraft are enabled at A25 base. Bf-109s are enabled at A60. FW-190s and Ta-152s are enabled at A68. Bf-110s and Me-410s are enabled at A65.
It is requested that Axis players refrain from going feet dry over England until 30 minutes after launch. Axis players are free to pursue Allied aircraft across the English Channel and to English bases.
For those accustomed to Main Arena settings, there will be some slight differences. For those accustomed to AvA settings, there will a couple of differences. For those accustomed to Special Events settings, there will be some differences.
Fuel Burn - 1.0
No dot radar or darbar for friendly or enemy
Killshooter will be ON
Friendly and Enemy Icon will be 3K
Auto-calibration for bombers
For those flying 8th AF, we will have 2 loaded Missions for 8th AF Bombers and Fighters if all goes to plan. Just join the either Mission by selecting which aircraft you want. Go to http://stevesscifishootout.forumsland.com and register to be included on the fun and details of flying an 8th AF Mission.
For those flying Luftwaffe, there is no official LW Commander. That is an open position to be filled. The LW Commander needs to have a plan of action and to get LW players organized to stop 8th AF.
Take a couple of hours away from the Late War Arena and fly in the BoB map with no radar and no darbar to see enemy or friendly to immerse yourself in the true long range high altitude bombing campaigns of the 8th AF. Tell your freinds, squaddies and your grandma that this is where the action is at. Real dogfighting at 25,000 ft between the best of both sides. Are you up to the challenge?
I would like to thank the AvA staff for allowing us to use their arena. :salute
Good hunting.
-
we like to help out where we can! :salute
:cheers:
-
Looking forward when the Staged Missions can be implemented in AvA to augment the bombers and escort fighters.
-
The constant cloud layer in the AvA arena made me want to slit my wrist....very depressing... Can we have clear skies?
-
First you slit your wrists, then make a blood sacrifice on the megolith alter, then we get clear skies. Not much of a sacrifice, you get to live, you'll just be a bit dizzy for a couple days.

come in this week watch the Axis luftwaffe cut through the Allied bombers and escorts like a chainsaw. we did it last week, we'll do it again. plenty of spare parts to go around for all the allies.
if you like bombers, bombing or escort missions, swing in and check it out. you life expectancy is low, but you'll have a great time, with a great bunch of people!!

He must be a bookie in Vegas. :D
Truth be told, the Luftwaffe will be sitting in the tower several times each night courtesy of Allied escorts and bomber gunners.

We already have a plan to cover that. We are going to have at least 6 pilots trck and engage you so our buffs have a chance of at least getting ne on target. Those brave 6 pilots will all be volunteers of course because their chance of surviving agains you are slim to none, but it maybe, by chance, with a little luck, one buff sneaks past you, then we are good with it.

There is one issue with the plane set for the Allies, the P-38L was not flown by any fighter groups in the 8th AF and should be removed from the plane set.
ack-ack

In the scenario, the P-38L is being used as the F-5E recon platform, and thus will have no ammo in their guns.
In this instance, he added it to attract more players and spur interest, same reason why he has the P-47N. It was worse in the MA, Luftwaffe OpFor was being engaged by Luftwaffe escort.

:salute you guys tonight ill try and get back in the game ASAP

Sadly i gotta miss tnights flight :( i got a last minute chance to watch my team (the chargers) take on my other team (green bay) and i had to take it. Best of luck 8th! Ill see ya next one for sure
-
The Buffs made it back to base with some escorts. The Luftwaffe made a valiant run at defending.
I got the kill on Stampf. :banana:
-
Sorry I missed it. A very lively 3 year old let the air out of my Mustangs tires!
Screenshots would be good :)
-
I flew a B-17 for the first time in a while, and somehow I managed 5 victories... :uhoh
-

Yes you did. Made it all the way back to base on that one wing but couldn't make the landing this time.
Guess that makes us about, what...6 and 1 my friend? :D
Nice work last night. Nice and tight. Flew into a wall of steel.
See ya tonight.

Was good fun last night. Got two valliant 190s and put rounds into 3 or 4 more Axis before I got tied up with Jetsom and lost a wing. :salute

I must say that was a very intense fight......... no hard feelings :salute
I was able to go on and kill 3 more after, but I had good ALT on them and they tried to climb up to me.... :t

Absolutely no hard feelings bud. The fight was excellent. One of the best I've had in a while. When I get beat in a good fight I'll usually throw out a :salute in a heartbeat which is what I should learn to do in these situations.
Unfortunately, I can never get past the single FE collision. Character flaw I guess. Supremely unfair IMO.

it was a good one :D
I went and watched it and on my end we were no where near colliding....if I were to die/take damage it would have been wrong.....it is not unfair, it is the best that there is considering the internet.....

Probably the best use of AH time I've ever had, despite having played for years.
Managed four kills in my 410 before Shredd ended my hubris.
On reviewing the film, I see I didn't seem to land a single MK 193 shell. Can't imagine how I amanged that. Will try to post some screeneis.

Not saying you should have taken damage. That wouldn't be fair either. IMO, if both FE didn't see it, there wasn't any collision. So, in this case, neither plane would've taken damage and the fight would've continued. The only time there should ever be a collision is when both players see it.
Try to imagine the last three screen shots you posted from my end... I'm slow and pulling hard to get around as you're coming over the top. I get slightly nose high in a stall with nearly zero airspeed and see your 109 barreling down on me. At that point, the only person who could've avoided that collision was you. But you saw something completely different on your end and no need to evade. Which I completely understand and you shouldn't be punished for that. When my wing comes off, however, it feels like a policeman just wrote me a ticket because someone hit my car while it was parked in a parking lot.

I see what you are saying.....only if BOTH ends see a collision should damage be dealt out....I wonder if HTC has ever tried that :headscratch:

HT has knowlingly chosen to implemented the current system because he is fully aware of the shortcomings of all others. Unlike some players. ;)

That's exactly what I'm saying. I'm sure he's tried it and it didn't work because it seems (to me) the most equitable solution to a complex problem.
