Second Wind SITREP

[Löwe]

Reschke.

I think this setup would have been first class with the LA-5, and 7 instead of the Jets. I've flown both sides , and it's been fun, but it gets old fast. If the reason for the Jets was to squelch complaints about the late war F4U's, it was an over compensation. Most CT folks have been saying allow the dash 4 , and chawg for sometime. Yeah the numbers have been good all weekend, but a lot of the people flying are MA types, who won't come back  until some exotic MA perk planes are available again.

MA types are MA types, CT types are CT types. You guys got a target audiance, CT will never pull over and keep the numbers MA does. Many of these Alternate Reality scenarios , and post WWII scenarios just seem too much like being in the MA. They are becoming more and more frequent. I know we don't have the perfect plane set in AH to do every scenario justice, however there are enough axis types to add and tickle a PTO setup enough to keep it fairly historic, and ballance it. Without going into the Twilight Zone.

Even though I had fun with this setup I would grade it an F. This is not a knock or a slam, just an honest opinon.

Keep pluggin guys your work is appreciated!:aok

I would have to agree with Lowe on this one. I started to have a good time after my horrific start to this set, but there is just something "off" that I can not put my finger on.

Ack was a problem. More than once I was many, many miles away from any enemy base, and could not see any ships in any direction and had THICK ack shooting at me.

Me: "Where is that ack comming from?!?"

Wingman: "No idea, must be a fleet out there somewhere."

Me: "Yeah, but it must be over the horizon, I dont see..."

PING!

System:you have been killed.

Me: "WTF?"

Lowe thanks for the input. Personally I don't like substituting aircraft of any type for any other aircraft. Its just a bad thing in my opinion and leads to making the CT more MAish. Especially if you put Nikis and LaLas on the same side. I did think long and hard about putting the Fw-190D9 in for the Ki-100 and ultimately decided not to do it.

This setup came about from Slash27 just throwing out an idea and me thinking about it for a while then seeing some actual skins made by Dux. That just solidified the setup in my mind because of the fact that it wasn't that far fetched and could actually be done using the map we had on hand. I just wish we did have the Raiden and Ki-100 along with a couple of other twin engine Japanese attack/heavy fighter aircraft.

As for the AR/post WW2 setups I may run one more this year but I am thinking about a summer/fall 1945 setup of the Allies versus the Soviets. In an East meets West battle for control of the European hearts and minds. Other than that I think I am off the AR setups for a while. They are good when done right and not when you have so much distance from the actual dates of WW2 at least in my opinion.

Grits,

I will check the range settings here in a little bit and make sure they are where they should be. The hardness is as it should be for the three guns together.
