Well, frame 1 turned out to be a voyage of discovery that had game play turn into something I had not intended. 1) B-29 AI behaviour, or rather misbehaviour. The AIs do not stay in formation and tend to wander off at different altitudes and headings. Trying to keep them close to the player aircraft is impossible. The best that can be hoped for is that they will be in the general area. 2) F-86 and Mig15 FMs. Before we started I was pretty sure they were off, but I didn't really look into it closely. Both aircraft can easily exceed Mach 1 in a dive (I've had the Mig at 1000mph TAS). Both aircraft also have an automatic recovery feature. Once TAS exceeds 850 mph or so the aircraft starts a 5G pitch up and all pilot roll, pitch and yaw inputs are disabled and the speed drops below 800 TAS. Sounds like a great feature, but if you are inverted at low altitude the pitching action will make you into a lawn dart. 3) Mig15 killer cannons. A single ping from either the 23mm or the 37mm will destroy a hangar. Bombers just explode. Not sure how =wilz= managed to only have the engine of his F-86 catch fire when I hit him from low 6. Given bomber are just too easy to kill if you get into firing position, scoring for the series will be adjusted and loss of a bomber will only score 1 VP.
Team Gold (UN) 8 pilots, 22 sorties. 352nd: juice=, osker-, vokker, redsgt, =wilz= Knights: okdoc- AE: booner 69th?: papcwc F-86: 17 sorties. 4 Mig15s shot down. 8 a/c lost. P-51D: 2 sorties. No kills and no losses. B-29: 2 sorties. No kills, no ground targets destroyed. 3 player aircraft and 2 AI lost. [1 other AI may also have been lost, but the log doesn't clearly indicate it]
Team Green (KPA) 7 pilots, 46 sorties. 4th: WLDBIL (1 sortie) RCAF: muzz--, yukone, -deak- 23rd: grmpy-, -splt-, hardad DR: riffer Mig15: 38 sorties. 1 F-86, 3 B-29s and 2 AI buffs shot down. 8 aircraft lost. Yak-9U: 5 sorties. No kills and no losses.
Frame 1 Scoring Team Green scores 16 VPs for UN F-86 losses and 5 VPs for B-29s lost, for a frame total of 21 VPs Team Gold scores 16 VPs for Mig15 losses.
Frame 2 will be interesting. Team Gold flying for the KPA and Team Green flying for the UN. The arena is open for practice. <S>
