    Nice stuff coming :) !!!

    Oh those 109 whiners....they do whine....and the update hasn't even been released yet. Quoting some of the comments, I read that 'whilst we want the most realistic sim out I'd rather you didn't make my 109 more realistic' and 'make sure it's right and make sure you do all other aircraft too....even if they don't need it' and Jason 'A lot of virtual pilots just like easy kills and want to blame us for their poor piloting and tactics. Such is the world of combat flight-simulators.'

    Great read.... :)

    Few thoughts....

    It was a great evening, I enjoyed it :) and would do it again....and again....

    Vehicles

    Both sides balanced. Tiger is appropriate and should be limited, it's main gun is a great advantage.

    Map

    Great for the task as it was meant to be street battles. Aircraft had trouble spotting, vehicles ambushed. Probably reality.

    Objectives

    Having played it now I think the Germans are at a disadvantage due to the placement of the objectives. The objectives south of the river are too far way for the Axis to consider given the time it would take to get there whereas once north of the river the Allies don't have far to travel to capture the town ones. Allies placing a tank covering the river bridges could maintain the two objectives there and also prevent Axis trips south of the river. I think they had 3 easier objectives...the 2 south of the river and the Western Approaches due to travel distance and time.

    Pre match briefing  

    Excellent. All things covered.

    Gameplay

    Definitely consider turning off outside view, this gives a good advantage to those using it. Now both teams know what to expect, we need a level playing field.

    Comms

    Didn't work especially well for Parts as I think that the setup we agreed on ie. tactical talk only, went out of the window very quickly. For this to work we can't resort to usual Dogz banter. Put this in with the tactics and we made life very difficult for ourselves. As command tank, Part's definitely needs an extra crew member as gunner.

    Tactics

    As with any plan, it usually fails on first contact. The match was no exception and the fact that it didn't work for us isn't down to Parts' intentions. I would love to have seen pairs working together but it didn't happen. We made life very difficult for ourselves as soon as some Dogz started to self deploy...I did it after a while when it was time for a respawn as I could see we didn't have any objectives under control and the time was ticking away, hence my 2 attempts at the Western Approaches - although travel time here was a serious disadvantage. Did we have too many aircraft? Did they have less aircraft and boosted tank numbers?

    Keep the comments coming...it can only help :)

    Sidley in Sydney....

    Unfortunately I haven't got the hang of vids yet. Anyway, I took off from Sydney International (Runway 16L) and went for a scenic tour in the Twin Otter, in real time. Landed on water north of Sydney and made my way back. Interestingly ATC was very busy, I could see air traffic and ground traffic, and I had to wait my turn for contacting ATC. Got a landing approach back on 16L. Landed and got taxiing instructions to general parking , made my way across and parked where I was told. Great fun, busy on the ground and in the air :)

    As an aside, as I was flying around the Opera House on my galivanting tour two aircraft flew towards and then went under the Harbour Bridge...one a twin engined airliner, the other a single engined jobbie....who says you can't have fun here!!
