I put the question mark in the title because I have not seen this before. Someone else may have seen this and posted and I missed it.
 
We had an incident in Flanders in Flames. A pilot was close to an enemy airfield. He was engaged and his his plane became disabled. Not sure if it was loss of oil, fuel or bullet damage. The pilot was able to land at the enemy airfield. This was strange because the airfields are surrounded by AAAA, The AAA did not shoot at him. He was able to stay on the field and his rear gunner was able to shoot at enemy spawning in. The pilot was probably shocked that he was not being killed  by AAA.
Some of his teammates entered the area. They were promptly shot down by AAA.
 
This is the first time we have seen this. The situation was examined and it was determined that the game does not see a disabled, shot down or crashed plane as a target. So you may ask, how many times is an enemy plane going to suffer a disabling event and still be able to land on an enemy airfield. In actual game play this is a very rare event, however.........it was pointed out that a pilot could get close to an enemy airfield and over rev his engine to disable his plane and then glide into the enemy airfield. I tested this and yes it works. The AAA spawns but does not shoot at a disabled plane.
I am not sure if BoX/FC works the same way but it probably does.
The result of all this is a new rule for Flanders in Flames:
 
"Refly Rules (Spawn Camping and Objective Camping)
Spawn camping and objective camping are not in the spirit of the Flanders In Flames tournament.
Any pilot who safely lands his shot down or disabled aircraft must "Finish Flight" and despawn as soon as possible.  Sitting on the ground after being shot down, so that you can act as a forward controller for friendly aircraft, or position your rear-gunner to shoot at enemy aircraft, is unacceptable."

Hi All,
 
Last night, after Wednesdays mission, we had a meeting to discuss the state of the FIF campaign.  Specifically, what to do with the low Blue turnout on Wednesday nights.
 
Here is what was decided:
Phase A ended last night with a Red Victory. Phase B will start this Saturday (February 13th), with the Blue Team flying Central and the Red Team flying Entente. Temporarily, Wednesday and Friday nights will become a fun-fly night / testing night for those who are interested.  This will be open to the greater ROF community. As a result, only Saturday missions will count towards the final score. With the loss of Wednesday as a mission night, only 40 points will be needed for a team to win the Phase. After the end of FIF XXIII, we will then reexamine the teams (as well as Wednesday night) and come up with a more permanent solution for FIF XXIV. Let us know what you think!
