??? No, your idea is great and I will see what I can do to implement it to this tournament, I thank you for this Idea my friend.

Kozzmo,
How about you and I choose teams? like first captain second captain? I will fly for the UK, you fly for the USSR (as this was your choice). You get first pick. Just let me first consider what teams some participants have chosen.

* To all, dont think I favor kozzmo, but this guy I trust knows who flies how and I know he will help me keep teams even.

O! O! Pick me! Pick me!

*Raises hand*

XD

This competition is going to be epic.

If it's ok with everyone else

there are only 3 who said USSR, so far... which is pretty strange considering how the la5 is becoming the plane of choice vs the spitfire

I asked earlier, but I think my question got a bit lost in the shuffle: are *all* the planes in each region/country going to be available after they're 'conquered?' The reason I'm asking is I'm pretty hyped about the German jet fighters now, so if/when we capture Germany I can fly one.

Check the first page of this thread (I am using the first 3 posts as Bulletin Boards), post #2 has information about what planes are allowed and what territory they belong to.

* Regarding Jets, I originally did not intend to allow players to use them because I did not want them to be used as tactical Kamikaze against bombers, maybe I will add them with certain conditions or as privilege to officers, dont know yet, I have to think about it.

Yes, I did that... that's why I asked the question --- I wanted clarification on the omission of the jet fighters.

By 'tactical Kamikaze,' I'm assuming you're saying that the team who is flying the jet fighters would have some sort of overwhelming advantage over bombers... I'm not sure if that's your meaning, or if that would even be the case. Jet fighters certainly have speed, but bomber escorts could certainly develop tactics to combat them I would think... plus, if the jet fighters do have an advantage, this only offsets the advantage that the B-17 brings to the table... although I guess this may be moot if both sides can use the B-17 equally from the start of the game.

I do hope you come up with a way to include the jet fighters in your campaign; with all the T&B, dogfighting in BOP is soooo one-dimensional, and IMHO the option to include more B&Z plane choices is a sorely needed aspect to this simulator, which accurately reflect the real-life awareness and adjustment to the tactics of energy fighting & situational awareness (something somehwhat missing in the endless descending spiral dogfights that dominate BOP).
