US bombers, both level and dive, are putting in huge numbers so far in the first 2 frames. 425 targets have been destroyed by the Allies. The much smaller IJ bomber forces took out 5 ships including a CV.

A6m3's and Ki61's are doing well for the IJN/A. Zeros went 23 victories (+8 AI) for 20 losses while Tonys had 18 kills (+4 AI) and 9 losses. Meanwhile the Corsair led the Allies in kills with 18 victories (+3 AI), but with 16 losses. While P38's had a K:D ratio less than 1, it is worth mentioning they destroyed 66 targets this past frame.

Not affiliated with a Squad in the S3 database. Suspect most of the names on the list were flying with the DRs.

hogjas was formerly known as hogjaw and flies for the 352nd FG

Yes, unclaimed means not associated with a squad in the S6c database. That means their scores will not roll up to squad scores etc. Note that my database is not hooked into iEN's, so they may belong to a squad in the arenas, I just need to be made aware of it.

I'm a DR. I think the gaps of knowledge both sides need filling... I didn't see rules for the S3 flying until a few days ago. Perhaps some thought to a better, easier, simpler line of communication with squad CO's? It didn't affect me anyway as I'm in a buff squad but the first frame I was a bit late and was told to fly a P38 with 2x1000lbsers. So I might have inadvertently broken a rule.

I seem to recall many (many), years ago it was possible to limit the number and type of aircraft available which if still true, could be applied here rather than relying on discretion. Then again, as you never know exactly who will turn up, it's difficult to allocate precise numbers until people are in the arena. Is there no way to find out beforehand, who intends to join, a sign-up page which would at least give a helpful indication of numbers on both sides. Those that don't sign-up but simply show up on the night have to take pot luck of whatever's left available.

I realise there's a lot more to this than meets the eye, much of which those that play have no clue but given WB may be about to improve a tremendous amount, it's not worth doing just yet.
