corespondance with deacon regarding the mission
Hi Deacon
Here are a few comments from the guys, just minor points as all are excited to try this out.
1) What icons do you propose using? We really had difficulty spotting tanks with icons off
2) Are there any mods we would need
3) Are bridges able to be knocked out or have you made them indestructable
4) We propose that only the bombers take bombs not P-51 or 109 as P-51 can take 2 bombs to 109s 1
5) We propose that the P-51 does not use 150 grade fuel
6) How many of your squad that would be on our side would drive tanks? and how many would prefer flying ?, just so we know roughly what to plan.
To answer most of your questions:
1) As to icons, if you wish them on, no problem. we tested the mission with no icons but its no problem to allow our server to have them on.
2) I don't believe we used any mods but I will check. No mods means no conflicts and I believe I did that to make sure the mission runs fine. Our server will be like your with mods on but I didn't use mods in this mission of A&S.
3) Any bridges that you need to go over along the direct roadway or railway from one flag to the next ARE destructible. Once destroyed the roadway bridge gets reconstructed in 15 minutes while the railway bridge takes 20 minutes.
4) I will check with my guys as to not allowing either the P51 or the 109 to carry bombs. That's simple to arrange in the mission.
5) Again I will check with my guys as to NOT allowing the P51 to use 150 fuel.
6) As to the number of our members that would drive/fly with you - when we tested there were four guys one of which only flew while the other three did both depending upon where or when the circumstances dictated what needed to be done.
Depending upon how many of you guys commit to the mission will depend upon how many of my guys will join you. We want to keep the sides as equal as possible. As I said only one of my guys only flies in these missions and he is excellent. Maybe that's why he only wants to fly. BUT I don't know if he is available for the sunday times of 2100 hours GMT since he is on the West coast of the USA. He hasn't been flying in your sunday sessions with us due to a conflict in real life. But if he has a chance to stick it to my Command Staff by flying with you, he might take it. We have great fun teasing each other about it.
Feel free to comment and I will pass these on
