Hi Phoenix,
Did they get the warning correct language issue or transmit issue? If language
maybe get Pod/Boot/Dutch to relay the messages in the future?
Do they need help/training in keeping formation, etc, as JaVa are flying with
56 on a regular basis, joint training might help? I do think JaVa doing joint
missions etc is great btw:). How do you communicate with them outside of squad
nights, maybe bring them into the existing comms settings, if this is a
permanent fixture?
They have all got G2’s wow, I presume that you have now got good settings for
spotting with the G2, have they tried them ?
Hmm real life I think there could be a whole discussion on that;).
The decision was made and I respect that, as you are in charge and leading the
mission.
Comms do not seem run smoothly as a rule, between the different flights. As you
have mentioned about the comms to JaVa and not knowing Roke/Stickz situation.
Any way do you think there is a way to improve this?
As Roke says it’s good to hear the opposing forces PoV, most online engagements
don’t have the opportunity to do this, to see where things went right and
wrong. Plus it makes the debriefs more complete and interesting.
Just some small stuff that’s needs some work on :).

I actually called a warning to Java. They're not great at keeping consistent
formations so we can spot attackers. Also, I think they're having real
problem spotting with their Reverb G2s. I sorted out a cockpit-moving problem
for them at the end of the evening.
So, in real life, as long as they weren't directly attacked I think the
Tempests with bombs would have continued to target as we did, because that's
their mission. Shooting down enemy fighters is a secondary objective. Us
bombers assume the escort can look after themselves unless outnumbered.
There's a case to be made that we should have turned back when Roke & Stickz
got attacked. But by then I wouldn't have known how many were down.
