Sorry if these are stupid questions but I'm at work and haven't had the time to read the rules in detail. I have a few questions: Is a flight meant to be 1 aircraft or several aircraft? Are long range AAMs (Phoenix, Amos, Alamo EM,...) implemented in the dogfight score? What does for...

I might have a solution for the fighters: You could halve the speed on all aircrafts (ball park figure) and rebalance some speeds thereafter since I think no sane pilot would go full speed when on an attack mission since it would drain fuel reserves dramatically (especially with full payload)...

I have a few remarks/questions. Fighter Speeds: Is there any rule used to determine the speed of aircraft? Is speed supposed to be average cruising speed or the maximum capable? For example the Mig-23 has higher speed than the Mig-25 Foxbat. The Su-27 has higher speed than the 2 migs (although...

PM'd

I'd like a gander :D

Maybe :D But I like developing a ruleset. There are also some cases where the rules are a bit unclear (maybe typo's I don't know). It still leaves room for improvement :) I still have some questions for some naval specialists here: Is there a limit on the number of ASMs fired in a salvo...

I received the Shipwreck rulebooks a few days ago and I must say I like them. Hopefully they inspire me to further modify my VaS mod :)

I don't know if you have to complicate it that much if you're after a VaS mod. No need for air layers and seperate accuracies for SAMs. I'm not after a simulation but a fastpaced game. Or maybe have a weapon trait for that. The same with radar/sonar types. Just give an air and underwater...

I'd like to volunteer for brainstorm sessions or rule writing or such things :) I can send you what I wrote together, maybe you can use something.

I feel B5 handles air combat fairly well. A few special actions for aircraft and a bit of tweaking of the rules and you're set IMHO.

VaS (and B5) do have the advantage of being quick to learn and play :) I was working on a VaS mod some time ago but got stuck with some major problems. Scale: I did try to solve this with some sort of nonlinear scale. For example: 1NM = 1inch, 10NM = 10 inch, 50NM = 24 inch, 150NM = 40inch...

could a VaS mod satisfy you DM? Or is that too fast paced and un-detailed?

Hehe nice :) Wish I had someone to play a naval game with around here. A few play VaS but I'm more interested in modern era. Acquiring books is also problematic and ships :p I ordered the Skytrex ruleset in an american online store (because skytrex doesn't accept Paypal) and its costing me 50...

what game? ruleset?

Hey DM, you still got those experimental modern rules for VaS? I PMd you to get a read through copy but haven't heard from you :)
