It's a most excellent plane set.

(*wraps shawl tighter around his shoulders*) 

I remember, back in the day, when we had the rolling plane set in AvA.  Lasted a month, someone figured out how to compress WWII ETO into 30 proportional days.  One of my takeaways was the number of days the Spit V fought the 109F.  Really impressed you with how long the Brits were on their own.  It's a great match, as is the Spit I v. Emil.

(*points crooked finger*)

So get your (*cough*) butt in there, son.

Should be fun.  Hopefully no GVs this time as it threw off the aerial numbers last week.

Made it in there for about 20 minutes.  Most excellent plane set, and a good-size crew of participants.  Good fights, these 1940-41 planes are a hoot to fly.

Thanks again, Jaeger.  You too, Easyscor.

Good times again

If you are going to experiment with settings may I suggest that you try having icons locked down to friendly icons only for a go?

Turning off blackouts gave the spits and canes an advantage they would not have normally had IMO

They are flying lazy susans to start with  :aok

Didn't try the lead sight as it does not help if you are in close enough

Just do it, I say.   :aok

Great fun as usual last night.  :cheers:


Might be fun to try WWI planes one night after you exhaust the other ideas. I want to land on the buildings.  :devil

Yikes.

I've been one of the foremost proponents of no-enemy-icons.  For years.  But I see this MNM bringing in people who would never visit the AvA absent the promise of good dogfights.  You guys have a good thing going here, just as presently structured.  Don't screw it up.

I have landed my 38 on top of the buildings a few times..... controlled crash is probably a better term.

Yea put a zeke down on one in pieces. But someone shot me as soon as I landed.  :devil

Might be able to land a WWI bird and takeoff again.  :cheers:

eagler, we used to have no enemy icons, but no one would come in. so for Monday night madness, we do 1k. its a good compromise. personally I like it better with no enemy icons, but that's just me.

as for shuffler landing...... frontwards, backwards, sideways, upside down, take your pick!! LOL
