Was great gentlemen!

I was getting ready to log, up on my last flight when I saw all the dots in the distance.

If not for the frame rate drop I think I’d had more of ya with my 51

, but alas only 2 before I was raked.

I jumped in the 262 to get back up quickly and bagged 4 more. I was able to land, both engines smoking, missing some controls, and all out of amo.

Rooks, most of you kept a good tight formation. It was hard to get in without taking any hits. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was a great way to end the night.

Damn frame rates! Was a reminder of Rips memorial day goon drop a year or so ago.

Loved it!

Yikes! Looks like it must have been a blast. I'll bet it was murderous to intercept!

<~~> all again~~

Naa I had other more important plans like killing off that last frontline feild with troops still available
Had I not had other plans, the numbers wouldnt have stopped me from inning on ya
I figure at worst if I can live long enough I can drag a bunch of ya's lower and maybe buy some time for the people behind me.

Saw the 110's but never got an ID on them. Looked like bomber formations to me and radioed them in as such.

Now see there are some GREAT targets for a well placed group of buff hunting alt monkeys.

I wonder how many are actually loaded with gunners. ;-)

Just passin and making good hits with cannons to drain their fuel would have discusted a quite a few in that raid. One good pass could have started draining 10 ac of fuel, they are so close all you'd have to do is rake em, sorta.

OTOH looks like great fun, and low FPS....

Reminds me of Longbow. But it also resembles the Rollin Thunder raid.

Well, let's hope that TOD doesn't allow "autotakeoff enabled" capabilities.

actually i got the date wrong.. it was sunday night.

filling the mission took about 3 minutes. serious.

we had done the Stuka raid just prior, had about 35 then.

they all just followed along to the b26 raid.

it was a blast. in the stukas we never got above 14k, in the 26's we leveled at 10k just safety in numbers LOL.

IIRC there were 42 b26 formations in the raid and i did not hear of a single one that lost a drone on takeoff.

we did a GV mission right after too, about 55 people all spawned at once in GV's LOL
