OK - Thanks to Vanders Mission Generator (which I have now learnt to modify) - WE ARE ON! (if people sign up of course!) I have a dogfight map with 3 objectives for each side to win the map. There are AI fighter patrols and bombing missions against the objectives for both sides. The map is Velikieluki (which everyone will have) and is not too big. Its October, 1942 (ish......) Both sides have tank spawn points as well as primary and secondary airfields. I have included the free tanks plus a couple from each side for those that have Tank Crew. The plane sets give a good spread of popular flyable fighter and bombers for both sides (no P38!) This may fall flat on its face but I feel it is a throw back to the good old days of the Dogz and worth having a go at again. @Perf - "Check" on points 2 and 3 All we need now is sign ups.... this needs quite a few on both sides to make it work I think. Message your buddies, round up the stragglers.... I would like to fly / fight for the Allies (10) Sid, Painless, Crash, Jabo, Wingflyer, Fenrir, Arthur,Perfesser, Zukker, Funflack I would like to fly / fight for the Axis (11) Friar, FT, Pooka, Delta, BlueBear, APHill, Fruitbat,Ovy, Artie,Swepper, Tbone If you are unable to edit this post just make a new post in this thread with your choice and I will update.

Hey Nick. Means Temporary Duty. Essentially the service person is still on the roster and administratively belongs to the squadron however the have been seconded to another post for a period. In this case we imagine it's Group, Wing or Fighter Command HQ. Means that should either Rox or Arthur get the itch to fly with us at a rare moment of opportunity they still have a slot open. Should we get more active members wishing to participate then I'll bump the TDY members to 401st FS to make way for the new bods, but for now, there's no need.

Sneak peak...

Further to this I have posted at the PWCG board on the Il-2 Sturmovik forums: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/66080-ground-kills-gbs-stats-and-pwcg-do-not-reconcile/ Pat seems to think this shouldn't be happening but needs more information to be able to narrow down why this is a thing. So, next mission out can I ask those of you who make ground kills to attempt to remember what and when you destroyed a ground target (if any!), or better yet take a screenshot of the little techno-chat message that pops up saying"xxxx was destroyed by PilotX", and I will take a screenshot of the in game scoreboard. This way I have some solid evidence to present to Pat when/if PWCG doesn't record the right kills and he can start comparing the logfiles to both what we have seen in game and then to PWCG itself to establish whether PWCG is making any boo-boos in interpreting the logs.

Inspired by "Learning to fly"?

Here are the rosters and the scoreboard as of the morning of November 2nd 1944:
