[bokatar]

2nd Battle of El Alamein, October 1942

Prepared one-sided objectives (allied), still can change though..

Allied:
A-20C
Spitfire Mk Vc (2 and 4 cannon versions)
P40 E or M (depending on feedback)
P39-D1 or P400 ( "" "" "" )
Hurricane Mk IIc

Axis:
Bf-109 F4
Mc-202 err.. that 42 model one

In fact, please comment on the whole planeset..

Pictures and briefing tomorrow.. please.. yawn... :)

I would put axis targets in too, Maybe setup an airbase with a lot of fake targets (as per the deception) so the axis CAN win the map with Ground attacks but have to work a bit for it.


Maybe :-

Allied:
A-20C
Spitfire Mk Vc (2 and 4 cannon versions)
Tomahawk II
P40 M (KittyHawk)
Hurricane Mk IIc
Hurricane Mk IIb (Hurribomber)

Axis:
Bf-109 G2 (as for Kesserine - G4-Trop)
Bf-109 F4
Mc-202
Ju87 Tank buster variant.
He111

Add Bf110 and Ju88 pls. :o Not because the big bombs but the divespeed and divebombing capability.

[bokatar]

Ok, added Bf-110 G2, Ju87 D3, Tomahawk MkII and Hurri Mk IIb to the map, added blue targets and updated some more things here and there. Check previous posts for the new map..

I'll write the briefings tomorrow and it's ready to go. Hope it works all right, chances are 50/50 though.. If only the map was a little bigger :(

hi bokatar,

looks nice mate, now I know how long it can take to make a map and all yet I do have a Q when seeing it for the first time.

I see only 1 target for each side. any chance for secondary targets thus avoiding the defenders just loitering waiting for incoming strikes.

anyway looks pretty good.

like the flags on the map! going googling to get something like that myself for the update on my hmm, only map I made sofar.

wishing you a great day

Hi happy,

I've been thinking about it after your post and began/abandoned 3 hour work twice. My concerns:

1) UKD3 is not crowded as 1st or 2nd servers, multiple target areas will result in much less crowded fighting

2) I intend to keep low target percentage, it is hard already to accomplish a mission in UKD3 with that many players, if I go with multiple target areas and low target % in the same time, I reckon it will be too easy this time..

I know it's a little complicated and as I said I abandoned further work twice already so even I don't know whether I'm wrong or not. Let's give it a try sometime and then I'll update it for sure if necessary..

[Happy]

I see your point bokatar!

just thinking outloud when I posted my first msg.
don't abandon your work. lets try and test it.
then you get a much better idea and remember it's your idea so
be open to all and keep the best.

you can't please everyone so why try. just be happy with what you are making, and why, then all the things will fall into place.

Looking forward flying it! any idea when we might see it online?
(being impatienced here)

Happy
