Invasion of Sicily Historical Missions for Arcade Players (PS3)

[RuffMonk]

I'd like to take the time to thank all of the participants for our first gathering of the Invasion of Sicily historical missions last night! We had a full house and even when we lost two people after the first mission, two more joined for a total of 18 people participating in the first night! I hope to keep that going for the remaining 14 missions! Once again thank you all!!!

WOW! great turnout. I don't feel so bad about skipping out on you guys now, although I still wish I'd been there. Hopefully next time.

No worries, we have plenty more nights coming up! Hope to see you tomorrow!

Simply enjoyable. The full HUD off made it realistic and you can feel the difficulty of the WWII pilots in spotting the enemy. However, the B17 kamikaze into targets was unreal. How do we simulate the refueling and rearming? Suggest we discourage bailing out in flight when out of ammo. Instead, pilots should land in a designated friendly airfield then bail out once he lands. Thanks Ruff for your initiatives.

Glad you are enjoying them Joe! As for the B-17s, yeah I was going to ask the guys to stop crashing into targets at our next gathering. As for bailing out in flight, I will put it to a vote to see if the rest of the guys are cool with that! I'm ok with it as it is, but a little more realism wouldn't hurt and if the majority of the guys are cool with it, then I have no problem incorporating it! I think however, instead of landing at an airfield though, I'll suggest, they would only be able to bail near their own spawn area. Thanks for the suggestion!

Wouldn't it be cool if some of us BOP gamers are actually reincarnated WWII pilots?

Great send off to the IoS series last night. Thanks again Ruff for all your hard work in preparing and and organizing these historical recreations. Looking forward to Korsun and re-booting the BoB on realistic.

Much respect
