First thanks for all who turned up, I believe there were 16 flying , which is something we have not seen for a while. This thread is for comments , I believe this will only stay interesting if we work together and ensure any issues are ironed out as much as possible , so please feel free to comment. I am not a mission builder and have only used the quick mission generator, however for this to work I will get the info needed to tweak the missions to suit the majority. My thoughts on the first session; Positives good numbers flying It successfully fulfilled the two main objectives of being fun and everyone working together. Comms was very good Co-operation was very good with people covering each other and not all chasing same target Improvements I will need to make sure there are sufficient planes by making airfields unlimited I will check to make sure there are rearm facilities The secondary and tertiary enemy targets were destroyed by AI, I will remove random flights so that the ground pounders will have alternatives if primary is closed. I am concerned about lack of enemy planes after first wave is engaged, I will look at how to activate a second wave after a period of time so that the fighters have secondary targets later in mission. Questions These are just some ideas, I would need to dig into wither it is possible but would appreciate feedback on this before I put the time in. Do people wish to see a scoreboard ? Do you wish to submit claims and I will keep a running total ? I had doubts about running as a DF as it sometimes leads to carelessness, however I was pleased this did not happen. In future to encourage people to take care of their aircraft/ virtual life do people wish there to be a penalty for being killed , such as voluntary 5 min sit out or an incentive for not being killed such as extra points at mission end on scoreboard.

Success We have given the enemy a bloody nose. All targets were successfully completed with limited casualties. Our victories today will ensure that the enemy wont get all their own way and give our ground troops some relieve. News from other sectors is not so good , the enemy continue to push forward and our battle squadrons took losses. We fly again soon Next round is provisionally Sunday 5th May. I will keep this thread for announcements and have started another for comments/feedback
