Just saying, as a squadron, we need to work on air kills. I have been trying to focus on this because in the rankings, we are low because of low number of air kills. However, we do surpass everyone in ground kills in our area.

Setup teams with one ground attack bird with 1 or 2 flying cover, then switch off as they expend their bombs. |

Cowboy can attest that I'm a ground killing machine as long as my M110 is up or I have cover against fighters while in my HE111. If we could get four of us in a game two roll fighters and two focus on ground thrashing I think we'd do well. There isn't a lot of use of the wingman concept nor fighter escorts in the game. It ends up being mass chaos with a few folks focused on the prize. Another issue is having ordinance capable of killing medium and heavy tanks. |

Well...still trying to download it. For some reason, keeps interrupting and corrupting files. Will try again at an odd time, might be due to other folks in the area on the same 'line'.
At least WoWP works. Havin' a ball zoomin' around there. Can you remap keys in WT? |

Well hmmmm. I'll fiddle with it a bit tomorrow. Flew a bit. Think the only thing WoWP needs is larger maps. Not all that impressed. Will dink with controls and views. Hopefully there is something other than the three defaults.
(ETA) Been messing around. Think I finally have some of the sensitivities set. Looks like I'll be using basic controls for quite some time. Starting to get the hang of it. |

I need the eagles for crew training!
ETA: convert 100 eagles int 1000 crew points on your favorite fighter crew... I boosted my 109's pilot. My reloads are down to 15 seconds for guns, 22 for cannons. Plus my dude gets little to no G-force fatige and I can see acft up to 40,000 ft away. It's awesome. I need to save up and boost my A20's crew skill... especially my gunners. |
