intercept mission tonight
« on: February 07, 2006, 05:56:31 PM »
we will be intercepting the expected allied wave of bombers and fighters.  we have information that they intend to bomb the brothel and schnapps factory.  furthermore they intended to steal our fine french girls and exchange them for their buck toothed bearded english ones.  this is intolerable ( i can't be expected to have a gf named percival yaknowwatimean)  we will need a maximum effort.

the following are required

FW190A5 two and four cannon configuration
Bf109G2 single popguns for fighter v fighter
Bf109G6 with gondolas for interception

yup that slight deficiency will need to be rectified prior to the combat tour or it will be a flop.  I'm not going to participate in that with the current mismodelled LW set.

Umm...the LW aircraft did perform poorly relative to the USAAF aircraft at high altitude. I'm sure HTC is terrified that you might not participate.

were B-17s and B-24s bomber formations cruising at max throttle?  bombers on the way to target should be in cruise mode throttle only

We were not at max throttle.  We flew at 45 manifold for formation keeping purposes.

And your point gear....assuming you even have one?

He asked if we were cruising at max throttle, I answered him with our man setting....the rpms were not adjusted.

I'm not a big historical information buff on the intricate settings used, so I won't play your game there.

I've enjoyed trying to recreate some of the spirit of those times in the AvA, and that's as far as I'll go with it.


***Edit-- I also want to add that I knew we were going to meat on the table going it at 17k, but I also knew that having the bomb group there gave guys in fighters on both sides incentive and a reason to mix it up and have fun.
