Besea, I love the idea, but because this is still an S3 event, the pilots of the 475th will, (to the best of our ability), carry out whatever orders the CO of the frame tosses at us. I strongly suspect that the AE's will do likewise, because I think your squad's long history in the game, (and in the S3) dictates it. We will follow those orders, for no other reason than our respect for the spirit of the S3. Our frame CO has shown nothing but disrespect to the rest of the community by his lack of planning, lack of dedication, and a general lack preparedness by his squad. We will respect "the big chair", but have no respect for the one occupying it - he hasn't earned any
As for an aircraft mismatch - maybe, maybe not. Both opposing fighter aircraft have an envelope where they are better than the other aircraft. We've been pretty much funneled into the layer where we start losing our advantage as the other side starts gaining theirs. I recall previous S3's where we have been assigned to a side which was deemed to have "superior aircraft". I didn't like the whining from the other side when our proper tactics resulted in a slaughter of their bombers, which in turn resulted in an increased buff tuff that prevented our proper tactics from being as effective. I didn't appreciate "other aircraft" being awarded to a complaining side, when in fact it wasn't an airframe matchup that was as fault, but rather an incorrect weapons file that a certain somebody inserted into the arena, (and still hasn't owned up to). So, I will not complain of a aircraft mismatch. In fact, the encounters have been both extremely challenging, and at times down right fun. One thing for sure... you realize you've made a huge mistake as soon as you glance at the altimeter and see 12k with those C200's coming down on you from your high 6!
PS: wieser, =dobs= is still a very good guy, unless of course you dislike honest assessments and straight talk, then he is intolerant, and arrogant.
