Assigning Ace Pilots

[hcrana]

Howdy all,

I've been given the dubious privilege of being the Allied C-in-C for frame three of Catch-22.  I'm wondering: what is the usual process for assigning the "Ace"?  I was thinking I'd email the squad CO's for each of the squads assigned the ride in question and requesting a nominee from each squad.  I'd then randomly determine a lucky winner.

Is there a simpler way?  What's the usual procedure?

Thanks and <S>

The way I have done it is look at what squads you have at your disposal...then you can go further by looking back through a few frames of logs to see who has done what, with what they were given...

There is nothing wrong with polling your squads...this gives squad C.O.s a chance to give you their aces....pilots who they know will produce the results you need, the pilots who will give you the kind of PRODUCTION you need on a regular basis for the ace pilot...

Randomly assigning an ace pilot is probably the fairest way to do this...but then you run the risk of getting a dud...consistent production is what you look for in the ace pilot...

Hope this helps a little

I had always assumed it was judged on several categories.  Poise and grace, talent, swimsuit portion, and finally an interview?

Your're catching on.

Just give it to Boo in his Fw-190A5 Butcher Bird. Then you're done


Oh, that's me...

I usually just detrmine the irders first. Then I tell whichever squad happens to be assigned the ride that they have the Ace and need to tell me who it is before the frame starts so I can inform the CM.

Funny, I picked my Ace first, and then assigned his squad the plane needed.

Yea. I'm tempted to do that but I think it should be spread around so the same names don't always get the task.

Congrats BTW, on being the first to hand me a loss as a CIC.

Guess all the crying about the plane selection was moot.

No, he said 'ACE' with a 'C' and an 'E', and not with SS.

Do the scores get posted somewhere after the frames?  I've only ever noticed the post at the end of a series.  Just wondering who and what the aces were this frame.

I don't want to let the cat out of the bag....


Yet....

But between Frames 1 and 2 the axis ace gave us 200 points...

6 kills in a C205 - 120 points
4 kills in a C202 - 80 points

I'm also not 100% sure but I think that another 20 points might have been gained by the death of the allied ace last frame...
Like I said not real sure....but we cornered....and killed what should have been the last pony-B that was alive...
