That had to have been from a scenario, snapshot or FSO.  Because I've NEVER seen that in the MA's. :noid

Wow I find it hard to believe it has been almost 38 days since our last path. We should have release another 38 versions by now  :bhead

ET37 ran an SBD mission a while ago. Of course I immediately joined. We failed spectacularly and I was the only SBD to safely land (though badly damaged) with my Spit16 kill :)
We failed because in AH dive bombers miss their targets unlike heavy level bombers that can put their bombs on a penny coin from 20k. Half the SBD pilots could not hit their targets in dive bombing.

Was awsome anyway  :aok
Mosquito VI - twice the spitfire, four times the ENY.

Awww, poodoo. :bhead  I can't say I'm surprised when you mentioned ET's name though.  I was in one of his Ju-87 raids, I believe it was a couple of weeks ago.  Only like 3 of us managed to take out a hanger.  I went easy mode though, bringing down a BH. :D  Can't hold it against me though.  I have not done any dive bombing runs in a while.  While I wasn't sure I could hit something like a VH or a FH, I was confident I could hit a BH from my normal drop alt. :D
