You're all set for the Red Team, Chewie.

I think you're really going to like the A-8. She's a beast of an aircraft.

Honestly, this is an excellent opportunity for anyone who has been on the fence to join us in DCS WW2 or DCS Cold War. *nudge nudge nudge*

Speak of the devil!

Watched this the other day. Was really great!

Got you Space. You've been assigned to the Red Team with the rest of No. 42 Squadron.

Hi Seya, you're still good for the Blue Team.. I have you down from your October 4th registration. Thanks!

Welcome! All set for the Red Team. I've got Dalemac too.

Gentleman! Great to see both of you! You've been assigned to the Red Team. Make sure to join FIF Discord: https://discord.gg/HVmET2AmbZ

With any big offensive, the common foot soldier may not have known about the overarching strategic concerns that were the subject of command briefings. But they knew that the point was to weaken the enemy, so that territory could be taken so that the enemy could be pushed back. However, with flying squadrons, given that they were directly supporting the ground war or were directly supporting those who were directly supporting the ground war, you can imagine that there would be a much clearer picture about what was going on. For one thing, they can physically see it from the air. And for another thing, they'd recognize the movement of friendly bombers alongside the activities of enemy bombers and what targets were selected for destruction. My point is, having us hit a random bridge out in the middle of nowhere for a point is less immersive than hitting a bridge in an active sector that sits between a known ammo depot, a muster point, and a supply artery for a forward position you've seen 2000 men die over yesterday. And thus, I think we'd all like to see continuity here because it's not only logical progression but something more tangibly apparent. Connected targets give teams the ability to plan strategies that take into account attrition (which we all love) and virtual attrition (which is the process of weakening an enemy by getting them to waste resources).

Input/Feedback is always welcome! +1. The bigger the mission, the more chance you have of mission/log errors. Especially when you start adding in people. @Kliegmann and @Butzzell have both had this problem. That's a good point, and something that we've tried to factor in as best as possible. Especially in Tanks In Flames from the Spring. This is one of the reasons the factory missions are often weird, as real factories would be far behind enemy lines and require bombers at high altitude. It wouldn't be something we'd get to within 30 minutes. In actually, what we've been bombing aren't really factories, per say. Rather, they're supply depots moving munitions and equipment to the front. Or, muster points if we're talking about troop concentrations. A goal for a long time has been to get the results of one mission setting up the events of the next. And we sort/kinda got that with the capture the flag dynamic in Tanks In Flames (TIF). Though that has needed a lot of adjusting. However, without a parser, it would require a lot of screenshots and mid-week work by the mission designer to hand craft the next mission. I think this is what Kliegmann was going to try and do for his Europe In Flames event (another WW2 tournament). However, that was going to require him to basically not fly. Currently, in FIF, by using a Map A and a Map B, and then randomizing the targets, we kind of fake it for WW1. And we can basically get away with it due to the lack of a moving frontline. The missions are mostly different each time, and you can roleplay weirdness of the targets by assuming that the fictitious generals picking the targets are just a bit clueless. However, as you said, there isn't a continuity from mission to mission. And I think we'd all like to see continuity. With continuity, you could (for example) hit Factory 1 knowing that this will stop convoys from heading to the front in it's sector, which will restrict the number of guns in that area, which could then open up that region for a tank attack from your side. Which could destabilize that area and give you points.

Welcome, neutralmutation. I've placed you on the Red Team and have given you access to the Red Team on the FIF discord. The next mission is this Saturday at 2PM EST / 7PM UTC. All planning happens on Discord. Looking forward to flying with you!

Hi vonHelton, It's great to finally get the chance to speak with you. I joined JG1 in 2001, and was always fascinated by the early days of the squadron. When I eventually became the CO of the group, I was able to take the records that vonJäger, Kessler, @EvLeep (vonLeep), @Lowengrin, and others had created to formulate a complete history of the squadron. However, many of the early years (prior to 1997) are very sparse. If you're interested, I'd love to hear your thoughts on what is recorded: https://jg1.org/richthofen/history/

I'll PM you our TeamSpeak and Discord info. I'm not sure if you have it. But definitely jump on whenever.

Hey Hett, It's great to hear from you! And I'm glad to hear that things are good life wise. I know that @Butzzell definitely misses talking to you about FlF and game construction. If you ever want to get back into flying, definitely let us know. You're more than welcome.
