Russian Roulette for two - with Gunny was great fun!

[TX-EcoDragon]

Gunny and I just had a great time flying Russian Roulette for two.

I would like to make a 3v3 and 4v4 version of it as well. It's a great way to get a lot of wingman pair action going, with minimal downtime and waiting etc. We ran the first one with unlimited ammo and each of us got as many kills as we could manage without a mission reloading - by the time we hit finish our arms were tired from the non-stop dogfighting. . .though we did load the next without the unlimited ammo just to end on a more full-switch note! 

I have to say that it's a lot more fun when you get to fly a while between the mission reloads, and it's also a great way to start working on wingman tactics etc in a controlled scenario much like the old TX training sessions were early in IL-2.

Thanks for creating that Eco.  That was the most action I have ever had in ROF.  Really helps improve the shooting and winging.  I really don't get a chance to fly all that much and with recycle times in ROF I think you have hit on the perfect fast action skill training.

Well, it wasn't my creation - but it is a good one!

You remember my 1v1 in IL2 map,

I was trying to figure out ME a few weeks ago, I wanted to make a 1v1 thing again , and use those training rings to make a merge point.

Are we able to do that in ME?

Toad,

The Russian Roulette is much like your pair Coops where two (or more) wingmen face an infinte onslaught of enemy A/C, in the current version, two at a time.

I was reminded last nite of your training missions - which helped me in Il2 tremendously.

Of course yours in Il2 were 5, or 6 enemies one at a time - and the ME could duplicate exactly that.

Yes, I'm sure you could recreate the same missions - with enough proficiency in the ME.  This ME is much more capable than Il2's - however with that capability - comes much more complexity.

I'm really looking forward to some of us mastering that thing soon.

I should set this up for 3/4/5/6 players...this would be a great way to wing with our team when there aren't populated servers, or when we need quick action!
