Winners for Hostile Shores
Bombers category:
I can't think of anyone deserving an award any more then
Tjay. He flew TBMs in all 4 frames, in frame one it was his bombs that send Zeusse to the bottom. In frame 2, he was one of the few who broke though and bombed Tirpitz which immobilized it. He also flew in frames 3 and 4 with great distinction.
Aces High bomber community needs more man like him.
Congratulations Tjay, well deserved.
Nexx participated in 3 frames of HS and was partially responsible for sinking of the Tirpitz in frame 3. He was also an XO for 617 squadron throughout the scenario.
In German bombers, number of pilots bravely faced the odds and fought with great skill and courage. Some of them were trainers or CMs therefore not eligible for award. Winner in this category was
uvvall. He flew in all 4 frames and managed to get a kill in one of them. He was partially responsible for sinking of the Royal Navy's carrier in frame 3.
Fighter category:
Competition in this category was very fierce. I was gonna give this award to anyone who flew in all 4 frames and scored at least 1 kill in whole scenario. Unfortunately, no one i could find qualified. Not a single pilot who scored a kill lived thought all 4 frames.
( anything but landing is considered a loss for scoring purposes )
In that case, pilot who flew in 4 frames and lived in 3 with the highest number of kills will be rewarded.
Kirin fits that bill.
In frame 1 he scored 3 kills in 2 sorties.
In frame 2 he scored 6 kills in 3 sorties.
In frame 3 he scored 1 kill on his first sortie and was killed. No one was awarded a credit for his death, Kirin, I'm wondering as to details...
In frame 4, he scored 2 kills in 2 sorties.
Overall, 12 kills in 8 sorties and 1 death. Congratulations Kirin.
Also, I've checked the fighter scores by hand. If you flew in all 4 frames, landed all 4 and got at least 1 kill - please contact me. I'm not infallible
