Title: Last night for Sicily in the Combat Theater
Post by: Wotan on May 09, 2002, 04:12:40 AM

Target: Sicily

The Axis, having been pushed out of North Afrika, prepare for the next phase of The Allied plan to gain total control of the Mediterrainian.
The only question is where and when will the next phase begin. The Allies, in attempting to capitalize on their momentum in Tunisia,
have decided that Sicily will be next as a precursor to the Invasion of Italy.

Sicily is a great setup. I love it!

but it has 2 problems:

1. Disappearing icons -
don't know if this is terrain related or just my machine problem, but nme icons are disappearing at certain angles (not out of d3.0 range). I see a dot getting begger and bigger, then I roll the plane a bit and it turns out to be a bandit-spit at d1.2 :eek:

2. the few times I've been in the CT this week, axis were outnumbered 2:1 (sometimes even worse). this for itself doesn't bother me as much. it only ment I had to fly LW all the time and I sucked baaaaaad...
well, that's the best way to learn the 109G2 - fight spits while out numbered. ;)

had fun, to the CT team.

too many spits last night

none of the allies, or very few had the kahoona's to grab a 38 or 47

Hard to survivor for too long when you had spits buzzing around like skeeters on a humid summer eve :)

Be neat to have the option of limiting number of type of plane allowed airborne from a base at one time.

(Imagines Allied bunched up in tower watching for spit to die so they can launch one :))

Still better than MA anytime :)

Thats because all the guys with any 'nads at all that normally fly the heavy Allied iron, switched to Axis to even things out.

In an FW, I'd rather face a 1/2 dozen spitballs any day than a bunch of P-47s!
