Bitterly disappointed
« on: August 23, 2013, 04:49:13 AM »
In the lack of players registering for the Battle of Britain scenario.  

Here we are talking about stale gameplay,  tired maps, no fights, no action.

Well this scenario is quite possibly one of the main reasons many of us decided to search for online flight sims.   A heroic tale of against the odds, backs against the wall, stiff upper lip shenanigans.  
  
Grab a Hurricane and FIGHT the horde or die trying.  Be immersed in 3 hours of historical re-enactment and I promise you will have great fun If you are patient enough to seek out the Hun and destroy him.  

Register at ahevents.org, come as a walkon but just make sure you bring ammunition!

I think a lot of people want to participate but can't commit for the 4 frames.

if your a 109 pilot that enjoys scenery and then returning to base because your fuel light just came on then yea will be riveting.

To make it interesting (and fun for all) there needs to be 45 Hurricane pilots signed up RIGHT AWAY!   :D

I mean even Stukas and Heinkels got full before the Hurricane, this is madness!

None.  It happens every frame. 

It would be best if every squad had an extra player or two assigned as reserves who could step in for another that couldn't make it or for reassignment to another squad.  Having people who are familiar with the frame objectives and squad orders is always preferable to walk-on's that have to be brought up to speed.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

I wish I could commit, but time is not on my side on that one.

Bruv, you guys be taking walk-ons? I may be able, possibly, maybe.... And would love a Hurri if there's an extra one available and my schedule works out....

Bruv,

Obviously FSO's target audience is NOT those living in Central or Western Europe or it wouldn't start 0530 or 0430 hrs respectively.

I would love to fly with my squad in this event - I've always thought FSO was the shining star of AH.
