Hello all
The next gathering of the "Casuals" is set to take place on 15th July 2017 @ 2000 UTC (9PM London Time). It will be a BLUE event.
The usual rules apply. Have fun, be on the TS coms "Boomer's Casuals" 30 mins before and bring your bad jokes.
Remember, we fly what we are given, in the map we given, so there can be no guarantee's of the exact types available but this event will concentrate on the use of JABO 110s if they are available. If its a map where the type is not available we can fall back on the 87 and 88 but this is very much a second choice.
The 110 is an easy and fun aircraft to fly as a light GA aircraft. Certainly not as awkward or complex as an 88 or 110. As such, I am hoping we can gather an even bigger attack force this time that will make up for the smaller loads carried. But the task wont be easy so we may take some time initially to plan our strategy rather than just getting up and going at em "gung ho" - one day, it would be nice to actually get back from one of these raids!!
Things to prepare if you don't regularly fly the 110 or other JABO?
- Get some in - a couple of hours familiarisation will help lots - See the excellent Chucks Guide on CLoD here https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.c...d&downloadid=3 for all you need to know
- Make sure you understand how the gunner/pilot transfer works in the 110 and JU87 - basically if you occupy the gunner position and want to give AI control when you go back to being the pilot there are things you need to set - This thread tells you how http://www.stormofwar.org/phpBB3/vie...?t=1144&p=7303 and if you use TARGET or macros, the job can be made absolutely fool proof.
- Make sure you set keys for - release type (salvo or single), MASTER ARM (Important), and Ordinance Release
Finally - we NEED fighter escort - without this we a dog meat!
I hope to see many of you on the night - no sign up and no obligation to help give me an idea of number oand who is doing or not doing what..
