I partly agree with Frostie's points. It might be better to have more mixed coalitions. The coalitions kinda made themselves though as all aircraft were available to both sides, but naturally "Flanker Squads" will go for red just as "NATO squads" will naturally sign up for blue. So maybe admin could have intervened to mix some to lend equal capabilities to both sided.
Note though, most hornet pilots were purely A2A so the defacto A2G numbers were more in the ball park of a 6-7. And as for the Phoenix, Red actually had 5 F-14B signed up for the event same as blue. It's a pity some fell off along the way. But blue did have to deal with them as well, I lost my wingman to a mk60...
I've said it on discord already, but great event Maverick and Tiger, we really enjoyed it and looking forward to more.
