Perhaps it would help to be more specific in the definition of God Awful??  :rofl

It doesn't matter HB, I'm doing what I want as it will be complained about no matter what is done :)

It isn't going to be a god awful PTO event, it's going to be a damned fun one  :cheers:

To be clear, its not that I don't think you're trying your best, its just that I think you happen to have made a poor decision.

At least use the B5N2 for the TBD. Its a MUCH closer approximation than the TBM makes.

It's a god awful event that is a poor decision, although, you haven't seen the event yet.   Good to know.
Have a great day  :aok

If you don't know the objectives or the battle conditions, how do you know this is correct?  You don't.  You are speculating.  I'm not interested in offering facts to disprove your fabricated opinion.  Here's a thought, when the event comes out, take all of this boundless creativity and energy and apply it to figuring out how to get the god awful plane set to work in your favor.  It can be done, successful people do this all the time, try it.  Achieving the impossible is a wonderful feeling because, and this might be a secret, life is full of god awful situations and we simply have to put on our big girl panties and try.  I am designing an event not to make it easy, but to challenge people.  Seems like you have tossed it in early. That's ok, as I have said before, that is actually part of the event this year.  This one is designed to test the participants.  It's already working.  Don't I just suck?

Of course it isn't abnormal.  It's my job here.  I make the decisions  :cheers:

I think that Tank-Ace's solution would be to replace all Japanese planes with German planes, replace Japan with Germany terrain, and replace US PTO planes with US ETO planes.   ;)

That is why the comment was meant to be a rhetorical question.

This is all part of the event. You are all being tested by ROC.

Tackling LW bombers at 25k with escort is never going to be 'fun', when its the high point of the scenario.
LW doesn't have a bomber in a pacific war.

Not everyone.  Most of the people I see in events passed these entry level tests many, many years ago.

B-29, B-24? They are kind of late war I would guess. I could be wrong.
