Black Widow Campaign Scoring

I personally like the challenge brought into the camp. it is what the pilots had to deal with. though a computer does not do roof top flying much justice. I personally am enjoying the camp so well done fragg. I would like to point out that mountains altitude should have been called out so all could be aware especially those coming down from above the cloud. So if you see pilots crashing find out why and announce it - stop keeping things to yourself see something tell someone. Before I was told to shut up I was pointing out that we needed to take measure of the cloud level, have instruments lite up, height of the runway and so on, I might have chosen to do so at a bad time. Talk to your wingman tell him of the situations you are aware of, just because you see it doesn't mean everyone see's it. COMMUNICATIONS is the downfall of every group. And that mission is a prime example of why communication is key to surviving. I personally did not want to go below the clouds, if there aren't any enemy then why go down and give up the advantage. That wont happen again.

I think your speedbar disappears when you crash so unless you were looking right at it, you might not know what alt you crashed at.

I didn't say if you crashed to say the altitude I think I was referring to the wing man or anyone that see's it or is this one of those SHUT UP Lippy thing-a-ma-bobs.  :unhappy-059:

   FYI...November 10, 2015 is the 239th birthday of the United States Marines. God Bless the USA and the USMC.

[_AH_DarkWolf]

I see now it's also the 40th anniversary of the loss of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Hopefully there is'nt an omen in there.
