    Next short "test" scenario?

    Ok, ok, I know there are bugs in TA but still scenario flying with bugs is 100 times better than every day MA slaughter (though I truly fell in love with low alt furballing recently ;)).

    Our dear TA admins, time to show that you haven't forgot what job you have applied for ;), time to make another event in TA!
    But this time we could play something more scenario-like. Something like this for example:

    "Channel War I" (tm) ;)
    It's mid 1941 and every day RAF sends more and more planes over France. To draw Luftwaffe into the air small but heavily escorted groups of bombers are performing strikes on targets in France hoping that German fighters won't ignore them. Such missions are called "Circus". At the same time slow but heavily armed Hurricane IIc fighter bombers fly low altidtude strafing missions on enemy airfields. This battle of attrition will decide the future balance of the air war in the West.

    Map: big BoB, all fields in france are gold, all field in england red.
    Icons: no enemy icons, short (d12?) friendly icons (ID + range)
    Duration: 2hrs
    Lives: since there is this bug, there will be unlimited number of lives for every pilot. The only restriction is that no one can take off while his squad is still airborne. Squad members can only take off together with whole squad. Lone wolves will be kicked without warning :)
    Registration: MA squads have right to choose the planes and side first. Freelancers and squads below 4 active players will be assigned where they will be needed without right to choose.
    For better immersion scenario squadrons will be given real numbers and names. :)

    ODB:
    Spit Vb 35% (of all pilots taking part in the scenario)
    Hurri IIc 15%
    B25C 10%
    Me109E 20%
    Me109F 20%

    After registration CO's of both sides will decide what squadron will operate from which airfield and will pass that info to scenario admins to configure plane availability. Each squadron can take off only from an airfield and in a plane it was assigned to!

    Target for RAF buffs and fighter-bombers are airfields in France: f14, f15, f16, f18.

    Scoring (if we need any):
    fighter: 3pts
    bomber: 4pts
    ground structure destroyed on target airfield: 1pt
    closed target airfield (once per scenario for each airfield): bonus 20 points
    Best if ground structures down time in TA was set to unlimited.

    What you guys think (especially our brave bunch of TA admins)?

    Tks for the idea.
    We will take it in consideration (in other worlds, will start to discuss it now on our mailing list).

    Tks :)

    personally, i think im more paranoic with control than grobar is with his coding :D
    i need those damn commands :)

    but anyways, let me comment :)

    >Registration:

    im waiting for ivan to give a sign of life. i proposed a system that will assist in almost all aspects - maxlives, chaos, party crashers and registration. i'd hate to do all the work of registration when its almost useless.

    >For better immersion scenario squadrons will be given real numbers and names

    yes! this is a must in all my ideas! :)
    the ideal would be to literally make these squads in the TA. but some have a problem with that! :confused: :( :eek:

    >Each squadron can take off only from an airfield and in a plane it was assigned to!

    i agree. also, if a pilot lands on the wrong field, he is grounded until end of scenario/round.
    also, controlling this will require alot of work.
    to avoid confusion, i think it would be best to use a system used in that russian-only scenario. pilots will have to ask for permission to take off, reporting "nicaee, stec-- TR p51 f25?" that would be a resquest for Taxi&Runway in p51 at f25. i would allow it with "stec--, TR cc", and watch his takeoff, to make sure its the right field/plane.

    on landing, "nicaee, stec-- CL f25?" (clear for landing)
    i would allow it "stec-- CL cc". then watch his landing to make sure it was smooth landing, at correct field, to allow takeoff again.
    all written down. (big sheet of paper tho lol)

    when otr again, before exiting cockpit, report "nicaee, stec-- f25 landed". then i would aknowledge it with a "stec-- cc" and check to make sure it wasnt a ditch while i was bz somewhere else.

    hopefully i wont be alone during scenario for this work :D
    on russian scenario it was succesful.

    >ground structure destroyed on target airfield: 1pt

    i dont see how this can be calculated without manually checking them. and for that, its too much work, + confusion of reupping struts, etc.

    >closed target airfield (once per scenario for each airfield): bonus 20 points

    this is easy, ok :)

    >Best if ground structures down time in TA was set to unlimited

    best cc!

    i like your numbers and values. (icons, etc)
    lets keep discussion up.

    ah, and dont ever give up on proposing and sticking your finger into our brain for reminding! :)

    its good
    could be named No-icons Fighter Sweep III. :)
    But we have to find it place in our schedule.

    1Q - why firendly icons so long? This way if you dont see icon on d12 you are sure it is enemy. I`d suggest d5.

    Nicae, how about this:

    Volunteers apply to be flight control on designated fields?
    They would have a sheet made before event with all planes operating from their respective airfields. They could also be used as radar officers in contact with all squadrons tied to that field. So we limit number of fields on 3 (for ex.) and we need 3 ground control officers in 3 towers.

    Or 1 man can do it if take-offs and landings are put on hold. Anyone who hasn't reported takeoff and landing is given -50 points.
    Also people will have to report ditches.

    i just started to read this thread.
    the idea to change sides/roles is interesting to test.

    June'16 41, Royal Air Forces begin a long confrontation with Luftwaffe for superiority over Germany. Having aerial superiority, Englishmen can launch a big landing operation. Luftwaffe has two tasks simultaneously: first to survive, second to damage landing fleet at docks.
