Tuesday Event! Fighters can Form Up Too!

[bw_wolverine]

So there've been a few bomber formation events to proove that player flown bomber groups are possible. Well, let's do some fighter formations too!

MAY 15th Tonight! 9:00pm EST (Toronto time)

Please join us on the ACG Server (patch + hotfix) and on our Teamspeak server:

No.401 Squadron Comms Channel (with No.501 and No.64 Squadrons)

•Server Type: Teamspeak 3

•IP: 85.236.100.27

•Port:24637

A few notes:

• We will be flying as large a wing of fighters as possible up to twelve aircraft. If we get more than 12 pilots, we'll split into equal halves and coordinate.
• We will be flying RED. Blue pilots are more than welcome to fly as well, but we will be coordinating the RED side only (you'll have to link up with one of the AI raids and fly escort yourself/selves).
• We will be engaging raids of 20+ aircraft! The mission will be a complete sortie from take-off to landing.
• Expect a long flight! We will be taking off from Croydon/Kenley area and flying formation to the combat area and then reforming after the engagement to return home. I recommend you brush up on your fuel leaning technique to save petrol!
• Estimated time of mission from take-off to landing: 1 Hour 30 Minutes
• If you would like to an element in the wing (a three aircraft group) please respond in this thread!
  
  Hope to see you there!

Can you confirm that "tonight" is May 15th? The forum post times can be misleading depending on where the OP is located.

92Sqn (MGL) might drop by, depending on how many of our chaps are awake/ online at that time. It'd be nice to put up an element.

Yes, tonight = Tuesday, May 15th 2012

It'd be great to see some of you guys in! If nothing else, we'll definitely get some data to send to the devs

Great news!

sukhoi.ru is scheduling some 12 vs 12 fighters intercept/escort missions for weekend too but with preliminary forum registration and selection of side commanders to make it more organized. All seats are taken

I hope more scenarios will follow!

Cool! Good luck to your pilots! After it's run, post a recap of how it went and how the game performed. More data for the devs and helps us work out what scenarios are possible.
