Title: Logs started late.
Post by: daddog on February 23, 2002, 05:23:41 PM: About 25 minutes late Gents,

After exile posts the scores I need all of you to check them. Post "corrections" to the logs in this thread. If you had a kill or two that was not logged let us know. All scores will be finalized by Wednesday when exile will correct according to the posts/claims here in this thread. If you don’t post em by Wednesday your too late.

Films may be requested.

All reasonable posts will be considered. Any claims by the Fat Drunk Bastards will be ignored. ;)

Post by: K West on February 23, 2002, 08:03:17 PM: You mean the seven Zekes, four N1K2's and two cruisers I took out won't show up?

Guess I'll have to stick with my filed report about getting shot down by a Zeke within mere minutes of frame start and nothing to show for it........

Post by: Exile on February 24, 2002, 12:58:56 PM: If we are going to make this work, I need you guys to post what happened in each of your sorties.

Sortie 1:
- took off from field 24 in an F6F
- shoots down a Ju 88A-4
- destroys an ammo bunker at field 15
- lands to refuel/rearm

Sortie 2:
- takes off after refueling/rearming
- shot down

etc...

Post by: Raubvogel on February 24, 2002, 01:32:50 PM: As much as I hate it, I think the best thing to do is just go with what the logs show. I'm not questioning anyone's integrity, but alot of things can be seen in error in the heat of battle. Especially since kill messages are turned off.

Post by: Kratzer on February 24, 2002, 03:57:19 PM: Yeah...

and since it came back up so quickly, we just went back and leveled 5 again anyway.

This does not reflect roster changes which were made over the weekend. I'll add that in tonight when I get home.

Post by: ghostdancer on February 26, 2002, 06:57:16 AM: Okay the Nightmares VMF-101 did one sortie only.

We launched 18 planes .. 16 Hellcats and 2 TBMs. We sunk 3 CVs and 1 DD. We lost (as best as I can tell) 5 pilots to the enemy fleets AA (APDrone, SMUZ, Stink1, Tahgut, and TyrNM) and we had one ditch do to damage (Dizy).

The other 12 pilots all landed safely too my knowledge. We did not conduct another sortie.

Only other note is that I had DaPup handle wrong in my roster I had it as DaPups so he showed up as an orphan do to my spelling mistake.

Hope this helps.

Post by: Ripsnort on February 26, 2002, 08:02:53 AM: Shows MAG-33 with 1 lost and 16 destroyed.

The 16 destroyed is correct though it is not assigned to which pilot got what (late log anomoly most likely) but Swoop accounted for 7 of them alone. We started with 16 pilots, and the results were this:

Started: 16
Mechanical failure(killed by own action):2
Ditched: 2
Destroyed (killed by enemy):8
Landed:4

The One cruiser sunk by Phantom4 is correct.

Post by: Kratzer on February 26, 2002, 12:26:38 PM: Will those results include scores for the ground targets we destroyed at our primary target, and list who shot down who? That is to say - are these not done?
Title: Logs started late.
Post by: Raubvogel on February 27, 2002, 05:40:24 PM: We destroyed 2 aircraft and 16 ground targets and got zero points :)

Post by: Wotan on February 27, 2002, 06:40:51 PM: try 4 ac and 20 buildings and 0 score......

that doesnt include the stuff we killed before the logs started.......

leitwolf killed 2 zekes and a few ack i killed some ack and fuel......

I had thought the scoring had changed since I last flew.........

wolf has film of his sortie I dont........
Title: Logs started late.
Post by: Raubvogel on February 27, 2002, 06:47:01 PM: I have film of my sortie also. Maybe between the 2 we can get an idea of who killed what?
Title: Logs started late.
Post by: Exile on February 27, 2002, 08:13:56 PM: The logs were started late and as a result many of the "start flight" events were not logged. The scoring logic needs this to calculate scores correctly. You'll notice individual results are grouped by "sortie". A sortie begins with a "start flight" event and ends with an "End Flight" event. If there is no start to the sortie, the script does not know about it and so cannot count it.

I asked for details from everyone in "sortie" format above. If I have those, I can fix the logs and scores will start showing up.

The best place to start would be for every CO to post a list of every pilot that flew that night with the plane they flew and the field they took off from.

Post by: Raubvogel on February 27, 2002, 08:18:17 PM: That sounds like alot of work for you Exile. I think we should just score it as a win for the Allies and move on to the next frame.
Title: Logs started late.
Post by: Kratzer on February 28, 2002, 10:39:57 AM: I just want to know if I shot down those two Ki-61s, or either of them... I thought I might've gotten two, but other people might've hit 'em too.
Title: Logs started late.
Post by: Wotan on February 28, 2002, 10:47:50 AM: leitwolf killed 4 of umm

Post by: Reschke on February 28, 2002, 04:49:25 PM: Well I know I missed the hangar I went on in with Raub on the base strike. Then I went after a Zeke that was chasing Wotan low near the base and I think he went down with me putting many .50's in his airframe. Then after coming back north and running up to A3 to see what the Ki-61's were doing I had an inflight collision with one and may have downed him and another one due to gunfire. When I crash landed at the base I took off from I showed getting 31 perks so I don't know exactly what happened. I know that perks are weird in the SEA.

So results for me:
3 possible kills; one Zeke and two Ki-61's

Launched from A4 headed to A5 then RTB'd toward A4 for base defense then was vectored to A3 for interception of possible Ki-61's on a return raid from their first attack run.

Post by: Wotan on February 28, 2002, 05:18:35 PM: I can confirm watching that zeke go down under your fire. Unfortunately I was lagging real bad so i basically flew in a circle until my netstatus settled............
Title: Logs started late.
Post by: Reschke on February 28, 2002, 06:29:56 PM: Thanks Wotan! I had no idea but thought it would have at least been a damaged one. Glad I could help you out there!:D

Post by: Skorpyon on March 01, 2002, 12:16:32 AM: As I gunned for fireball, I know of one definite splashed f4u.. I watched him all the way down, with no other plane engaging him. (This doesn't match with the "assist" I was awarded to MuckMAW's kill). A second f4u attacked, shot off fireball's wing, but as he finished his attack, I unloaded point blank across fuselage and canopy. I lost sight of him due to my gunner position. Fireball and I hung with our plane for quite a ways down before bailing. Upon bailing, I saw no crippled plane in air, no chute, nothing. When I asked fireball if I had killed the second f4u prior to our bailing out, he said that I had. Unfortunately, no film of the sortie, and no other corroboration available. I believe it was possibly the second f4 that was the "assist" on MuckMAW's kill, but am positive the first was a solo kill, unless he had damage from a prior engagement. Just an FYI.

Post by: daddog on March 01, 2002, 06:06:38 PM: Exile that is a lot of work. You really want to do that? It was an Allied win for sure. Want me to give you some points to post and just call it a day?
Title: Logs started late.
Post by: Kratzer on March 01, 2002, 08:23:35 PM: I think the best thing to do would be to award points for aircraft and ground targets on a 1x1 modifier on both sides, and call it good.
Title: Logs started late.
Post by: Maverick on March 04, 2002, 04:49:24 PM: FWIW, I got 5 KI's and strafed down some kind of structure but that is about all I remember about the event. I know I strafed the building after rearming but the kills all were in the first sortie. I have no clue about how to do the sortie reporting format.

Post by: Exile on March 04, 2002, 07:36:31 PM: If the squad COs can just post a list of who took from where and in what, the scores will most likely come out all right.

GhostDancer did that for his squad and his scores are showing up fine now.

Example:

Axis - Exile took off from field #5 in a A6M5b

Post by: Sancho on March 04, 2002, 11:34:36 PM: 56th FG launched 7 P-47D-25s from A4: Ammo, CFIT, Nomde, Oblittoo, Pollock, RGJ, and Sancho. Hope that is all you need because I don't remember any more details. :)
