I was a bit late tonight, saw no one on TS. Are we on for Saturday 20th?

[Ovy]

Mick, as stated hereabove for a session to take place we got to be at least 4 , enlisted two days ahead, so FT can have the maps really handy. Since there were just the three of us for Wed it was a NO GO. Anyway, i was in TS for some time, FT was kind do drop and say hello , i waited a bit for you / not more than 15 mins ) then went to bed.

 

Having said that here we go again, who's in for Saturday 20.02.2106 ?

1. Ovy

(Sorry, but I'm not joining this Wednesday... )

[Painless]

I'm in chaps.

[Ovy]

So far there's three of us . I think we'll have decrease the minimum number of participants from 4 to 3 .

We will do some usual 2 vs 1and 2 vs 2 using Toad's missions - i can host too ( i will prepare to do that ) - maybe 3 or 4 sorties. Than all of us +1 AI if no one else comes vs multiple EA, like two missions.

But we need a mission involving 4 vs 4 ( could be humans or AI) . Dizzy 's promised to help doing that but multiple missions will be better.

 

OK chaps?

[Painless]

Sounds fine Ovy : )

[Ovy]

Last minute change of plans...

Since FT said he couldn't make it i invited Thor and WWs to fill in so to have 4 of us. And ended up with Thor AND 3 WWs calling me and enlisting for tonight show. Not bad, not bad at all...

 

So this is my schedule:

- teams are

A) Swep & Mr.P,

B)Thor & Ovy,

C)#1 WW and

D)#2 WW (one of us will join them )

 

2 vs 2 airspawn DF for one hour (aprox 4 fights x15mins)  as follows:

A vs B

C vs D

A vs C

B vs D

 

Second hour 4 vs 4 (probably 2 missions)

DDz vs WWs (& Thor)

 

To end ALL humans vs 8 AIs

 

Hope dies last...maybe FT can join . Should he skip this one can you Mick ask for a "free hand" ?

 

One more thing : we'll be doing this in VARP's TS since all of us have rooms and IP/pass. If needed i can repost them.

 

See ya tonite

Nice turn out Ovy. Liked it a lot and I must say that flying with closed cockpit and no icons was a blast. Many thanks to the Warp guys, excellent done mates.

[Ovy]

I'm really , really glad you enjoyed it ! ( as much as I did)

To be honest 100% i was a bit doubtful on how it will turn out , simply because we never did it like that before. Not to mention i was completely taken by surprise on the number of people showing up.

Personal remarks:

- i saw some incredible good 2 vs 2 fights , will post the tracks

- after the initial surprise ( and Funflak nagging ) when Dogz found out we weren't using icons i saw that very quickly you all left behind that handicap . And with good results!

- even we got overwhelmed in the 8 of us vs. the rest of the world , if my memory is still good NO ONE of us got shot down !! It is amazing ...so it looks like it pays off to keep training

- Thor is not only sharpshooter, he also has vast expertise on tactics and on mission set up. I suggest next time he should pair up with you and DD wing as well in 4 vs 4 so you can hear and say his way of fighting. Needles to point out in all 4 missions played no one was lost on our side ...

 

I will put a message in the shout box , to see if we re-do it next week and make arrangements  , also i'll ask WWs but please write down if you have any requests / suggestions.

 

Once again thanks all !

[Ovy]

Any volunteers for tomorrow 27.02 , 14.00 UTC?

Toad's missions can be flown even by two vs AIs

[Painless]

I really enjoyed the practice with the VARP and WW boys. Happy to do more of that with my new Sweedish wingman Von Swoopberger.

Not sure about tomorrow yet Ovy, I have a few things to get done. If I can make it I will be on TS at 14.00 GMT.

[Ovy]

OK Mick...how' bout we (in between DDz) make it more simple...anyone - it takes two ( baby) ...- is on our TS saturday i can host 2 vs whatever??

 

I still am very keen on enlisting for Wed ( as long as it is possiblle - to arrange missions with the host )
. Let's not transform this into a different CET (combat exercise training) - i believe we must contend to max. 8 pilots

The goal is to fly and fly again in pairs and  , if the American contingent (including Funflak ) is willing to repeat it i seriously tnink that we ( DDz) should be doing 2 vs2 - one go- before thy join .

Waiting for remarks / suggestions

[ametzeala]

I think i will make it for todays training session . See you then!

[Ovy]

Hello Gents

Before i speak with Thor and WWs i ask you my fellows are you in for Wednesday 3.03?

[Painless]

Should be fine for Wednesday Ovy.

[Sweper]

I think so.

[FoolTrottel]

I'm out of it.

Completely.

I found out the hard way that this is too much of IL2 for me... besides all the other stuff...

 

Yeah, I could give up on hosting, and on mission building But, no.

 

So, I'll do my best to wing up whenever and with whovyhever I can ... but no more training sessions for me for now ....

[Ovy]

Sorry about that FT, take it easy buddy ...i'll be happy to keep on with you on our regular shows !

 

I will start organizing next session, is it good if we keep it the same way ?

That is

A) Mick & Swep

Ovy & Thor

C) probably 2 WWs

2 vs 2 - at least each wing two fights or three

4 vs 4

all vs AI

 

Anything in particular that you want?
