Issue with tonights frame 3

[Stampf]

Well we aren't going to do a do over because the next FSO starts in two weeks.

So your right .. I can either just go with the ground attack results (Japanese 402 and Americans 212) or I can just say .. guys I hope you had fun in frame 3 and don't worry about the score for it.

"or I can just say .. guys I hope you had fun in frame 3 and don't worry about the score for it."  < Thats all that matters right there.  A great Operation GD!  Well done.

Have to agree with the above statements.

Ghost Dancer and the rest of the crew did a great job.  The log issue is just that and let it go.  Just do what you can to keep it from happening again is all you can do.  Have to admit this doesnt happen like this very often..... Logs fail and most of the action takes place in the first 15 - 30 minutes.

What a fight between A 48 and A52!!  For of you that were there (both sides) <S>.  Talk about a knife fight in a telephone booth!!!  By my count both the ALLIED and AXIS strike packages hit almost head on and the defenders from A48 and A52 (both sides) joined in.  Thats about 60% of the total FSO numbers in one spot at one time!!

From all of the comments above it seems like everyone had a great time.  I know I did.  And thats all that matters.  <S>

I had 9 confirmed kills  and only got credit for 1.

Actually I had only one kill and got credit for it in the logs.

Stuff happens.  All in all, it was a damn fine operation.   

[daddog]

Don't sweat it.
Most had fun. Make sense of what you can with the logs and move on.

GD and I have looked over the information that we have. No matter how you slice it the Japanese won. The missing information would only determine by how much.

Grate event, WTG GD!  A real blast

[RATTFINK]

INDEED!

[ghostdancer]

Yes as far as I can tell I am inclined to say the Japanese won. However, I think it was again very close and not by a large amount.

So these are the options for the Allies. Throw out frame 3, use only frame 1 and 2's scores and you got beat. Or add in frame 3's damage once the log started and you got spanked. Personally it was a lot of fun all 3 frames and the log deal could happen a lot more than it has so i don't see it as a big deal. We could have all the CIC's and flight leaders from axis/allies go to the the DA, last man standing claims victory for his side in frame 3.

Need film of the first dogfight between the Arabian Knights- KI-61's and the P40's at A48 if anyone filmed it,  I (as usual ) forgot to turn my gun cam on 

[Scotch]

We 38's ran into the 61's in that fight too. I have it on film. I have the whole event on film. Maybe I can break it up into the major fights and post it up.

The Haze salutes all those involved with the FSO process.  Good job Viper on Frame 3.  We njoyed ourselves immensely.  <S> Ghostsdancer as well.  A fine event.  Thanks

As far as I could see (but that wasn't to darn far in those conditions, breaking new ground again WTG ) the Axis whooped up on us pretty well in the A52 area.  IMHO on that front I would give the Axis the win but they had to earn it

I wish we had taken the "other" avenue in this event & tried to build up the IJN side to match the Allied air power at hand to fit the AH plane set but it wasn't to be... next time?

That FSO set milestones that I wish every Admin CM can beat from here on out.  The numbers (players) rocked, the battles played out well, & even if you lost I felt a feeling you were darn glad to be part of every frame. 

Well planned & well played everyone!

Well I finally reconstructed the amount of people flying. The allies had 192 pilots and the Axis had 245.

I think I might be able to put to rest the myth that the Japanese side always has a poorer turnout than the Allied side because people don't like the Japanese plane set.

Turnouts are based on the max committment levels (not counting +2) for coming up with percentages. The max for allies is 208 and the max for Japanese is 250.

Frame 1
======
212 = American (102% turnout)
202 = Japanese (81% turnout)

Frame 2
======
199 = American (96% turnout)
229 = Japanese (92% turnout)

Frame 3
======
192 = American (92% turnout)
245 = Japanese (98% turnout)


The American turnout stayed pretty consistent through the three frames with only 20 pilot spread / difference from frame 1 to frame 3. If anything you can say the american numbers went down.

The Japanese turnout went the other way it went up from frame 1 to frame 3 significantly. They gained 43 pilots by frame 3.

So in the future instead of having a 45% / 55% split to make up for an expected lower Japanese turnout and other factors, I will probably modify it a bit.

All your kilz r belong to noone...............

And I don't care 

Thanks guys.  I had a blast.  Great stuff.  FSO is the best.  It's the only time that I play that the General knows she is not allowed to bother me AT ALL, while I am playing airplane.  Even if the house is on fire (as long as it's not going to affect my internet connection)  there are to be no interruptions.   

I hope the staff cadre had as much fun creating & executing it as I did flying in it.

So do we have a guess on the final score yet, or is that part still being reconstructed?
