I think someone tripped and hit the off switch.

The server went down normally this morning and I got a couple games in then boom...kicked and locked out.

I do not think I was a bad boy.

It is all plan of evil Moose and nefarious Squirrel!

[blindfoId]

Apologies, currently the unplanned maintenance is carried out to fix the issue with the game client. It is not connected to this event. It should be up in a couple of minutes.

Ah, then Boris and Natasha may recommend you to Feerless Leader.

Does that mean that the cleaning lady who unplugged the server to use her vacuum-cleaner did not work on her usual day but on Tuesday ??

Are personal points the same for destroying a plane inside or outside a sector the same?

[trikke]

I fully support the decision to highlight Spits for this event

because we just don't see those poor neglected hangar queens often enough

They are the same, it's Personal Points after all, not Capture Points

Oh trikke, it's not a highlight. The listed aircraf are the most popular (e.g. - the most players have them) fighters. The reason is simple: the more players have planes that participate in the event, the more of them can try.

[Wombatmetal]

If I can offer a suggestion, a variety of play styles in aircraft would be welcome. I don't play turny fighters, nor would I be any good in them. I think I've got one plane on the list - the Beaufighter. So yeah, a variety. 

 

That being said I welcome the fall event and think it's great.

Wombat, I see you and raise.  The only one that I have is the Tier III German heavy.  Which I haven't flown for ages until today. With the 58% crew.

I'll pick up the FW 57 and hope we meet in battle

 You get more total Personal Points for destroying a plane inside a cap (some for destroying the plane, some for the cap points you earn for it being over the cap) but the event is only counting the Personal Points for the plane kill (specifically Aerial Targets so Air Defense Aircraft do count as well as Enemy)

 

You can see the Personal Points breakdown on the Results screen like this

In that battle I have 1800 PP for destroying enemy planes

675 for destroying ADA

So my PP for destroying Aerial Targets = 2475

(side point @blindfold the 'For destroying Aerial Targets' line seems to be broken)
