Surprisingly I was able to attend most of the frame.
I did not attempt to interfere with the individual groups and stuck to directing my group.
We were unable to reach the enemy shipping with bombs and fought several engagements, killing a few bombers and fighters and losing all pilots except one, me.
Speed is your friend against the A6M3, turning is not.
In future, any frame without a CO by Friday morning, will be subject to the same deal. I don't mind typing out some simple orders and producing a DDS and I don't think the S3 needs a traffic cop on each side. I was able to enjoy the frame without all the CO hassle.
So, if you don't like this particular CO method, consider this a warning. Volunteer before Friday or I may just do it again.
