Changes to the setup, 10/04/03
« on: October 04, 2003, 11:56:36 PM »
Added the B-26B to one US base: A40
Moved the Ki-61 up to A10 and A11
Moved the P-38 closer also, to A30 and A40

If it works out, I will (maybe) take out the A-20G, but again, maybe not.
Will check back and see how things are going before deciding to leave the B-26 enabled or take it back out.

Yes, please.

Got to fly the setup some this morning.  Enjoyed it, mostly flying A6M2s against P40Es (Love that kiwi paintjob, btw)  with the occasional fighterboston or fighterhavoc or whatever it is jumping in to spoil things.  Only saw 1 P38.

Had to hang it up when fights got to be 6:1 ... but 'sall good.

Glad you're enjoying things, Dennis.
I took the A-20G out of play this afternoon, will amend the MOTD to reflect that change.

One question (I think I know the answer already, but I figured I would ask anyway):
I know the perks are kinda high for the P-38 (I've never perked a plane before, as a result I went too high on the perk cost), but looking at the stats, hardly anyone is using it.  So what is keeping US pilots from using the Lightning?  (The current crop of Zero pilots seem to be trained by Saburo Sakai himself and they are wreaking havoc on the P-40 drivers)


I leave for a three day job assignment early in the morning, and would like to get things ironed out before I leave.  Some setups are a work in progress, this is one of them.....;)

fwiw,
I have yet to see an IJAAF flyer in a Tony, yet, either.  
Perks aren't too high.  I just think most are enjoying the P40-Zeke matchup for a change.  just mho.

Why not disable formations in these types of setups? gets rid of the "ack-wagon" BS. Esp Ki-67s and B-26s.

I'd guess it's an arena setting. Formations are disabled in the DA. But like I said ... a guess. It'd be nice if the CT staff had that option, I think. :D

I think the reason you arent seeing too many P-38's is that guys are having trouble getting to 10 perks, I know I am.

P40E has an eny value of 35/10
 A6M5 has an eny value of 25/20
 A6M2......................... .......45/10
 Ki 61........................... ......18/20
 P38.......................... .........19/10
 Ki 67........................... .......17/20
 B26.......................... ..........25/20

 So the best way to make hay is to fly a P40, everything except a A6M2 will, pay prety good, landing is important though, if you dont land you loase most of what you can make, I beleave the landing multiplier is 1.5, ditching or bailing suxcesfully are next in line then deth of course loses you the most of your point's.

That was just a tad bit condenscending, Brady. Trust me, every single Allied player in this CT setup knows that you must get and land kills in the the P-40 to eventually get a chance to fly the P-38. What's being reported is the difficulty in accomplishing that goal. That being the case. You will not see the P-38 flying much in this setup. OTOH .... the Tony makes a fairly regular appearance.

I think that was fairly clear.

As it is, this setup basically features the P-40 vs. the entire IJ planeset minus the N1K.

That's just practical honesty. Let's not pretend anything else. :D

For future reference, you can disable formations, under setup, arena settings and find the flightmode flags setting.
