SoWC:BoB Multisquad Campaign Starting

[Osprey]

1: Chill out
2: The maths is remedial. A ballpark figure would be fine, there's no need to be a tit about it, we just pointed out that most of your aircraft were E4's and you've confirmed that (18 out of 23).

The logic and rules are clear but doesn't hit reality remotely. It's fine, we're (RAF) only asking because it was obvious and that's really to be expected. It just means that next week we'll fill our Spitfire II allocation first before anybody jumps in a Hurricane

Why don't you guys like the E1 anyway? It's got 1 minute of guns to spend on easy Hurricanes and is camouflaged. I'd take it.

@David, don't spoil it mate, I had to tell AVM Keith Park that we were bounced by a squadron or he'd send us all off to an OTU !

Its not easy maths, Ive already tried it. Thats why we are using the system we are.

Lets look at the other system so we know how insane it would be.

August
E1 - 40%
E3 - 8%
E4 - 52%

Something like this:




"Ahh well done Farber that is what we shall use then! You clever egg you you!" - I hear you think.

Wrong...

How many is in a Staffel?

Well on sunday from memory My Staffel had 8 (+1 Bf110 pilot which doesnt need to be included).

I./JG26 had 5 (I think).

For the sake of argument, lets say another group had 3 and another had four...

So lets total it up and see if it works.


E1 = 10
E3 = 3
E4 = 7

100% devided by 20 is 5.

5 times 10 is 50% of 40%
5 times 3 is 15% of 8%
5 times 7 is 35% of 52%


This is getting kind of interesting, let me try nd find out who actually flew on sunday in which squads.

OK heres the results:

I./JG26 had 5
JG26 had 2
5./JG27 had 8
SG1 had 6 flying fighters
JG52 had 2 (I think)

OK so:

E1 = 13
E3 = 1
E4 = 10

Therefore:

100% devided by 23 is 4.35.

13 times 4.35 is 56.55% of 40%
1 times 4.35 is 4.35% of 8%
10 times 4.35 is 43.5% of 52%


and then there is the small problem of the smaller Staffel getting no E4's etc... So you would have to have three different tables which rotated every week etc etc and in the end you just think wtf? Its a game...


Ok Im off to get some beers

I know what remedial is otherwise I wouldn't have said it. Forget it, you're obviously not interested, just take E4's and 3,000m airstarts over our heads for all I care if it's too hard to work out a simple ball park percentage. We're trying to help ffs because you're just going have people quit if it gets anymore one sided.

[5./JG27.Farber]

Easy tiger.

I just wondered which remedial you ment, it made me laugh thats all.

Ive just worked it all out above.

[Osprey]

We used to call 'remedial' set kids 'chicken feeders' at our school, because they were too dumb to teach so were sent off to do farming stuff lol Oh joy....

Anyway, I see your edits, yes, a basic figure is better than just jumping in wholesale for the best types that's what I mean. LW squadrons had mixed types anyway according to Stienhilper, with the leaders taking the new planes. How you do this exactly is up to you but I would suggest a quick count of players, get a rough figure for E4's and tell each crew how many E-4's he can have. Then maybe give the couple of E3's to those crews with fewer E4's, and the rest have to take E-1's. The RAF wouldn't care if you were 1 or 2 over or under, it's just annoys us when we obviously see 90% of the best type which is BS. :p

[5./JG27.Farber]

We had those kids at our school and when we left and went to college they were doing animal handling and dog grooming.

Your quite right about the mixed bag, except where units went to a new theatre, for example When 5./JG27 left the Ost Front to go to Afrika, in such cases the whole Staffel was fitted out.

Its certainly allot closer to what we have previously had. Ive also had another thought! The smaller squads can bunch together for "the count" to get different aircraft. - because the table isnt so hot.

Unless someone wants to adjust the table.

I honestly didnt think it was possible.

OK we'll give it shot. Obviously I cant control other people or Squadrons...


P.S. yes I am a stubborn begger.

EDIT1:

Hmmm how does this look? - a bit fairer on the smaller Staffel.
