Request For A Match - Update

[Friar]

Hello,

I have had a reply from T}{or over at 242 to my post about anyone wanting a match.

He has replied to say they might be interested. As they are a dedicated bomber units I have suggested the following;

Anyway my idea for the match would be, as you are a dedicated bomber unit, how about we set a map up so one side picks a bomber attack, the other fighters to intercept.

The side using the bombers can choose how many of its pilots it uses in bombers, the other being escorts. Points will be placed in ground targets. The more bombers you fly the more chance of getting points, the more chance of getting hit with a lesser fighter cover.

The other side has to intercept and stop the bombers getting through.

As mentioned before, we swap sides and roles and have another go.

At the end we add all the points together for bragging rights or just say cheers for a great night of fun!

I know we have people who can lead bombers / enjoy the discipline so thought that might work.

When I get more news I will update.

Sounds good. I´m in!

[FoolTrottel]

Like the idea.

[Snacko]

Me like bomb.

Make bomb go boom.

[BadAim]

Me like make bombers go boom.

[Sid]

Nice one

[Jabo]

Sounds good. Need more intel on when and where before I can make positive commitment though.

Hello,

I have this reply back from Thor

Hi!

Like yourself, RL got in the way here - hence my late reply.

PM BoneHead over at BFs forums or send me a PM over there with your account so that we can sort out any problems.

We're happy to fly fighters only, whilst we do enjoy flying bombers a lot - I wouldn't mind a change once a while.

Besides, there are many other BFs pilots that will definitely join us if we decided on doing this.

I'll start a thread about this on our forums.

This is what has been posted on their forum

~S~ Colin M8,

A nice winter match would get the circulation moving, splendid. Might be worth a poll to choose the best date ?

Has there been any mention of settings yet, i'm guessing that these guys will want full switch, but thats just a guess.

Not that i have a problem with that myself, but its something you might want to think about Colin, and talk to Thor about.

sounds like a lot of fun.

They should be fine with locked pit and limited icons.

Match vs. DD

Hi,

I replied to Friar's post over at 242nd forums but got no reply from him yet.

Can you perhaps get in touch with him or tell him to join out forums here (PM BoneHead if he has some problems with registering)?

Thanks,

T}{OR

[Friar]

Ok, I have now registered and am on their forums.

So I will try and get an update as soon as possible.

Does anyone have any preferences for a map or scenario?

[Tonar]

I fancied your idea about a bomber escort mission. Something faster than a SM-79

[Friar]

Update from the "other side" I asked about scenarios and thor has come back with

Some minor issues with BoB map, but that will get sorted out well before we set the date.

Two scenarios I personally would like to fly:

• Battle of Midway
  
  
• Battle of Britain
  
  
• Genova, Italy 1944
  
  

Since we are hosting, you guys pick one. Or two, we may even do 4 sorties (each team will fly both sides on one map).

On thing is that we would like to focus on fighters as we're flying bombers all the time. You can shoot at us in the upcoming DBS Dedicated Missions.

I like Midway

I like Midway

+1

[Tonar]

They also have a battle of the Coral Sea which might be a hoot, but I don't think we should do 2 pacific map matches

"Just remembered we also have Battle of the Coral Sea ready and tested. Same planeset as Midway (minus Midway island part), might be just ideal for Match purposes as both teams have 2 carriers at their disposal and those are the only targets.

T}{OR "

I am all for being part of this. We should get a pilot count on who is up for a fight with the DBS/BFS guys.

[Friar]

copy of post......

Sounds good to me.

Midway map just needs bombers on the Japanese side and it is good to go. I will have to double check with the latest version of the BoB to see if we need to add targets to RED team, but that is no problem.

Planeset:

- Battle of Midway -

RED (Carriers):

• SBD-3
  
• SBD-3 Scout
  
• TBD-1
  
• F4F4
  

RED (Midway island):

• TBF-1
  
• F2A2
  
• PBY-5 (limited to 4)
  

BLUE:

• A6M2-21
  
• D3A1 *
  
• B5N2 *
  

* Currently only AI, but can be easily added to the carrier home bases. BLUE team has three AI attacks, one at the start of the DF map on Midway, then 45min/75min later two strikes on Yorktown that will get sunk 90% of time. These AI flights will be removed for the Match. I only need to do the briefing for the map.

- Battle of Britain -

RED:

• Blenheim Mk.IF
  
• Hurricane Mk.I 12Lbs
  
• Hurricane Mk. IIa
  
• Spitfire F I
  
• Spitfire F IIa
  

BLUE:

• Bf-109E-1
  
• Bf-109E-3
  
• Bf-109E-4
  
• Bf-110C-4
  
• Ju-87B-2
  
• He-111H-2
  
• Do-17Z-2
  

looks like we need to start a headcount......

[Crash]

I have one

[Painless]

Well up for the match though

I would like to have a go at this if you think it would be ok!? If you are looking for the savage win then I may just a little tinsy weeeeansi bit NOT BE THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB! However if you want a committed tryer then I am your man!

Lets get them gits!

It's ok.

You're the man.

Get the gits.

Winning is all well and good, but the Dogz have always been more about enjoying flying with your Mates than winning.

Your last sentence said it all. Just go for it mate. I was in a similar situation when I joined the Dogz, we had a match against another squad and I was too covard to join the fun. Since you are a real man (unlike me that has been raised under 100 years of socialsm and a too caring mom) I think you have the qualities.

I´m in.
