Title: need orders for Sunday asap
Post by: Esme on June 20, 2002, 02:43:39 AM

So that I can prepare a flight plan for KG2's Ju88s and then give the en route timings back to HQ for fighter coordination etc.

What is the fuel mod btw? 1 I hope?

Checked it on 109's and 110's - enought.

Pooh! Sigh... MORE performance-testing needed.. only just completed the basics at fuel mod of 1.0

Pity us poor Bomberpiloten eh? ;-)

If your CO is worth his salt he will figure out routes, timing, fuel and loadout.  Usually orders come out 24-48 hours before the frame.

Interesting! There are THAT many people that know the Ju88s performance well enough under whatever fuel mod
that they can give precise timings without having to actually fly a route to get them?

Really?!

VERY interesting if true!

 I'll be interested to see how much time is allowed for takeoff and form up, what average speed over ground on climbout is allowed, what kind of climbout we'll be doing, and what TAS we are to cruise at - allowing for that we may hit headwinds, of course...

Not being funny, but I've encountered darned few outside of specialised bomber units that can plan like that - and fewer that actually do in-game because they are usually flying fighters.

But aye, sorry, I WAS being a tad over-impatient, I'd also got my days confused and had a bad headache at the time too... thought it was Friday yesterday...

(Chuckle...) aye, I know... it's just I'm used (from WB) to being given my objective and being asked whether such and so is possible in the planning and then I - or one of my other Navigators - go and plan in detail and infor HQ of the options that are doable, if more than one.  I wouldnt tend to EXPECT a CO to know buffing as well as I do any more than I'd know how best to use fighters. Obviously, I've some idea, but I'm really a bomber speialist.

NP Kronos; I can, at need, get a decent flight plan sorted out inside half an hour, I just prefer longer if I can get it. BTW I'm out most of Saturday, in case anyone tries contacting me tommorrow.
