I heard Saturday but I don't make these decisions.  This is what they look at.

10:00 PM Helsinki
9:00 PM   Europe
8:00 PM   UK
   
3:00 PM   Eastern
2:00 PM   Central
1:00 PM   Mountain
12:00 PM   Pacific
   
11:00 AM Anchorage
9:00 AM   Hawaii
   
5:00 AM   Melbourne/Sydney

Edit: see Brooks post at the top of this thread. Also, local daylight savings might mess with the table I posted here but I think most of us will be on standard time when it runs.

As the germans have a massive number of 109E-4 and Ju88A-4...

RAF should get a squadron of Spit V's to simulate Mk I's with the 20mm Hispano flying out of duxford...

i will grudgingly volunteer to fly one... :)

Yes, but we didn't have the faster jeeps back then. Just seems like more of what they'd actually use; a jeep/car/motorcycle and not a halftrack/AA gun platform. But hey, it' up to you guys in the end.:aok

Sounds like fun :) I'll have to figure out which side to fly for this time...  Cannons or no cannons...  This is the question :)

I missed BOB '04 but I REALLY wanted to fly it. I think I might sign up for this one.

mmm, well, if it's on Saturdays, it'll depend on if it's in September or October if I'll be able to attend most frames.

I vote Sept 23rd for Frame 1!  :D

May I STRONGLY urge an alt cap, or a massive wind layer at a certain altitude?

The last BoB scenario I did often had both sides at close to and above 40k feet. It really destroyed the whole scenario imho...

Happened in Fire Over Malta, too. I think that was the one that opened their eyes to the alt dweeb problem. E-4s, Stukas, 88s, HurriCs, and SpitVs all up at 35k...

Obviously, it hasn't... no alt limit has been imposed so far.

I was a GL for BoB and it was so bad that any alt limits (or lack thereof) will definitely be the main factor in my decision to participate in this BoB.

Obviously you didn't have your wind up on your clipboard for OpDF. 26k wind layer pushing down. It was intended to be an alt limiter, but wasn't strong enough from what I hear. At least they're trying.

Hmm. IIRC my Emil didn't climb too well above 25k, and was a brick at 30k. All the fights happened below 20k, at least the ones where I participated in did (edit: that's where the bombers were, maybe that's why). Malta had the fights a lot higher than the previous BoB did.

I'm looking forward to this one. In the BoB-04 I was in II/JG27, maybe it's time to try something else this time. Maybe I'll join a KG or a ZG, I guess the RAF will get enough personnel anyway, and all my squadmates are going to fly for the Luftwaffe anyway... :)

And that wind layer was listed in the rules/settings on the event page, BoB states no such layer as of it.

Any questions? :)

PT Boats (for water) and C-47's (for land) are most likely.

As ROC noted, Pearl Harbor will run in December, and we wanted to run something between now and then that has been run before (so that we could get it going quickly) and that was very popular.  BOB (despite lack of He 111's, etc.) has been very popular.
