Seems like a miserable time for the axis.

Virtual pilot deaths are meaningless in the scoring?

Seems like a miserable time for the axis.

Idk, the G6s and 14s should be able to hold their own against the spits and the 190A5s should be able to beat the tiffies all day. I will say the bombers are gonna have a tough time vs the tiffie cannons, but that's how it was!

The setup is:

18 allied fighters vs. 22 axis fighters (8 Spits, 6 Tiffies, 6 Mossies as pure fighters vs. 8 190's, 14 109's).  In frames 3 and 4, the 6 Spits transition to 6 P-51B's; and 8 of the 109's transition to 109G-14's.

The axis is all fighters.  No bombers, no ground attack.

The allies also have 12 Mossies for ground attack (generally flown by people who aren't proficient at air-to-air combat).

The scoring is set so that the axis is not expected to be shooting down all (or even most) of the Mossie ground attackers all the time.

Each side does get points for enemies lost in battle (shot down, crashed, ditched, bailed).

I think I'm missing it or misunderstanding.

Scoring

The Allied attackers will have several scoring options.


Frames 1,3 and 4

10 points for the Mission if Special Condition is achieved.

0.5 points per Successful Drop if Special Condition not achieved.

Special Condition = town white flagged, or 8 or more bunkers destroyed, or all GNH guns on city flak tower destroyed. Hangars (hardness = 800 lbs)


Frame 2

+2 points per CA (hardness = 1500 lbs)

+1 point per DD (hardness = 800 lbs)

Fudgums -- thank you.

Yes, it should have this in there, which we will fix:

"+1 per enemy Loss.  Losses = either (a) Kills stat listed for your side in the log,  or (b) sum of (Deaths + Bailed + Captured + Crashed + Ditched) stats listed for enemy side in the log, whichever of (a) or (b) is largest."

Signed up for a mossie, but willing to fly either side based on what's needed to help balance the event.  That being said, id prefer to be left out of either side specific forums for obvious reasons.
