Such benevolence has not been seen in these parts in an age

We only have 2 pilots though, the amount of CAS needed to recover from that is not available. Also, for his mission we are the relief force so if we get overrun it's over.

Ahoy there! ( that joke will never get old, ages like a fine wine) Hope to see you in game sometime

Right so. Given the results of the poll being overwhelmingly in favour of Ace we will, pending testing, be adding Ace for phase 2 of the Vietnam campaign, which will begin Friday 24th January. Thanks to all that voted, see you in Nam.

@Lindi yea the balancing will have to change to match the new pacing, as Zeus I'll have to deal with that. It's not a massive change but still something that I have to be aware of when setting up a mission. Don't worry though, you will still be scared to go back into the jungle

@Noah_Hero Thanks, we have been working with the new medical system and getting to grips with it since it's release. I've used Ace a lot in the past and have been considering the effects it will have on any mission before setting this poll. The goal is for the missions to be fun and inclusive for the whole community. @SCHUBZ From the outside adding Ace can seem daunting but I assure you that it is a very useful and rewarding mod. The medical is obviously the biggest change from the outside and it will take some adjustment from the Zeus and the players but it is my aim to keep the missions fun and casual while also giving players the added depth and functionality that Ace adds. If we do adopt Ace, as the current poll results would be leaning towards, we would look to making sure everyone had an opportunity to get some training in using the ace functionality, if they want/need it. If you guys have any questions or reservations please let me know.

So it has been brought up that we could add Ace to the Vietnam campaign, I have no issue with this so I wanted to put it out there to you guys for your opinion. The reason we didn't add ace to begin with was to make the mission accessible to as much of the community as possible. However, I think at this stage the people interested in these missions have already downloaded Unsung which is pretty hefty and likely won't have an issue downloading/using ace. Adopting Ace in Vietnam will have a significant effect on the difficulty, pacing and balance. On top of this I would have to delay the next mission by 1 week to allow for updates and testing to the mission file. All of which is not really a problem just something to consider if we decide to use Ace. So I put it to you, do we; Delay the mission by 1 week and adopt Ace Do not adopt Ace for Vietnam but maybe for future campaigns Forget Ace altogether Poll will be open until 17.00UTC Wednesday. Cheers, Midnight

RPT Stuff: Had a lot of fun tonight looking forward to playing 4 some more over the weekend
