S! 617
S! guys
Just wanted to stop in and say hey. I know you guys are the rdp kings and this next campaign could be good for the air war. With longer rebuild and repair times for the factories rdp bombing could become quite popular. Im trying to rally 4wing to contribute enmass at least through the first tier or 2 into the campaign. Here is what i posted in our forums. I really would like to see if we could coordinate squad activity. 617 bombing while 4wing runs large sweeps over geramny could produce some real fun!

S! 4wing
CRS is modifying the rules of rdp in campaign 51 and making those trips into germany a little more proffitable. One of the changes is doubling the rebuild time of a destroyed factory. Instead of a 12 hour rebuild they will be on a 24hr timer. In essence a large scale bombing campaign could effectively cripple german resuply tickets for a full day. Repeated bombing missions would simply keep those factories at minimum production levels.
I know the bomber types like these rdp runs, and with aws the fighters are almost gauranteed enemy contact. So i am going to be very active in recruiting a large player base to participate (at least through the first couple tiers) in a large scale rdp effort. Complete with Fighter sweeps over the factories priror to bombers arrival along with close escort.
If any member of 4wing would like to help it would be much appretiated. Im not in any HC role in game (nor do i desire to be) so help from those of you in those positions would be awsome as well. Thumper im lookin at you
I really think it could be some great fun if we could coordinate with as many pilots as possible. large 20+ bomber raids with full escort and sweeps could generate some new interest in the air war. Also for those of you who are tired of the 50 - 5fps drop when you fly over town this could be a nice change of pace.
Could maybe be an idea for a mission or two on squad night.
Anyhow, just wanted to post a heads up on this. These types of bombing campaigns get the best results if we start out BIG right out of the gate.

Re: S! 617
S! Mack, I hope your correct with those numbers. But yes it would be great to have 4Wing running escorts with us . Looking forward to it.
Now if we could just find Allibone.

Re: S! 617
That would be awesome! With AWS we all ways have contact over the factories and if we are a red blob we sometimes cant even get to the factory without good fighter cover.

Re: S! 617
Exactly! Id like to be able to send a red square or two ahead of the bombers. 1 to take attention away from the bomber flight. 2 to intercept the intercepters before they can get to alt. Anyhow, I have yet to fly in the new t0 but as i see it we should have a significant tactical advantage with dewos escorting db7s against 110's and bb shooting 109s. But we'll soon find out. LW can be a cheeky bugger sometimes.

Sounds real Macklroy, we will be more than happy to link up with 4wing S!
Can I ask where you got the new timer data?

Re: S! 617
I am thinking, is there a way to be on 2 TS chanels n same time? so leaders will be on both chanels, but fighters and bombers on separate chanels for clear comunication?
Or even subchanels for separate pairs...
And it is better to separate into FrAF for bombing (better gunsight, better load, more dmg on 1 run) with RAF (those french planes sux on high altitudes.). But main porblem then is worse locating of friendly bombers on map, thing that need solution i guess... probabl only comunication or 1 bomber asigned to marking their location when asked by fighters.

Re: S! 617
I dont think you can join 2 TS chans at once, however, you can set hotkeys to switch between channels while in game without having to do it with a mouse. All the fighter lead would have to do is press a button and boom he is on our channel and visa versa with the bomber leader or navigator. This could allow for GREAT commo.
Once I am in the AHC, my MAIN obj will be to get the SQUADS together, so we can be a TRUE brigade/Division. Not fighter squads and bomber squads doing there own thing. My dream, as a AHC officer, is to get the squads working together as one group! We need to HORDE and we need to be in a combine fighter and bomber group with fighters clearing the airspace for the bombers just like real life. This will help the ground as much as it will with RDP bombing. Just wait...I have OIC Offence and Map XO...then Im in...we will see what comes of it, but my main priority will be the units working together and becoming more of a single deadly FORCE than a group of pilots doing what ever when ever. I want organised air war, and I have yet to see that. I S! mac for suggesting this, and I am sure 4wing and 75th will agree with this. Lets get it done.

I think the Axis will be getting the 109E4 in Tier0 for campaign50 unless by some miracle v1.30 is released which i don't think will happen that soon.Macklroy wrote:Exactly!

Re: S! 617
Get off your duffs and learn how to use channel commander on TS. Once you start, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it. Also, set quick keys for ts comms to your tg, wingman, etc.
