what time is it for you now?

On the assumption that England is five hours ahead of the east coast, the mission should be starting at about 2 a.m. your time, Batfink.

These missions in the AvA (both Axis and Allies) are just great. nothing like the MA where you can have a 190 A v a 190 D or spit V spit etc.
It's great when you are at alt and you see the LW in 109s and 190s bearing on you, very realistic, when you are engaged and the fighters take of to rearm or land due to damge, you think you have been dogging, ducking and turning for ages, when in actual effect, it's only been a few minutes, I'm sure a lot of other guys from both sides would agree with this.

Thanks White, sounds good! Im hoping the 4thFG guys get involved over the next couple of weeks.

Is it possible to announce and post these missions to the folks at MA??

All these missions in the AvA are "open to the public" 68DevilM. Quite often we get involved as squads, but anyone is welcome and all are invited

Speaking of which, who else is gonna be flying interception? G6 will be out (YAY!!!!), so we can run some sweet interference on the Dicke Autos. I'm gonna try and put up an actual "mission" with Grupul 7 on intercept, but I'm gonna be adding a lot more slots than we'll have pilots, so anyone who wants to fly with us is invited!

Hey white
Is the G6 better than the G2? I often read on the bbs about the G2 and how good a crate it is, I'm curious to know more about the 6 and knowing you boys in Grupul 7 love to fly 109s I could think of no better folks to ask !

[B@tfinkV]

ty Oldman.



i like the G6 best of all 109s

Well,
 Some of the 78th guys will be there. Some of us are going over to the darkside though (Like me). Been spending alot of time in that 190 jammy.
zoooooooooooooooommmmmmm. Husk keeps blowing me kiss's, just might go his way.

   I posted in the General Forum about this and other missions we've done. As have other players Ive seen. I also announce it in the MA in the morning and evening. We've been doing this since this BoB rolling planeset started. You can see the other missions here on this forum. The first few were as axis. Now we are the Mighty 8th!  

    Word of mouth works great. Again..both sides are fully aware of the setup, the mission, the target. The idea is to intercept from mid channel all the way to target, and bacl out. You can reup. That is why I like to see a few more escorts than interceptors at the start, because the interceptors usually get 2 cracks at us.

   After the main mission we usually do another quickie, or do a fighter sweep.

As far as Buff-Busting and the like goes, the G6 is the better IMO, but the G2 is a better A2A dogfighter. Lighter and faster, turns better. G6 has great cowl guns though, so if you are the type to hold your fire and go for the kill shot, G6 is where its at.

If you stick to BnZ and vertical fights, both are about equally good for low-level fights.



I have a mission written up with 24 slots, but anyone is welcome to join in. Mix of 190A, 109G2 and 109G6. Wish we had the110G too. I'm having Mic problems though, might have to hand over tactical control to someone who can talk.

My plan seems a bit to elaborate to me looking back on it, but hopefully we can get at least half of it to work. Should be fun anyway

[Treize69]

Axis intercept will be lifting approximately 9:15-9:20 eastern.

Great job by the escorts, most of the bombers got through.

Personally I only got 2 B-17s and an assist over 3 sorties (1 Bail safely, 1 damaged landing, 1 safe landing). I screwed up my initial headon run and fencer picked me off on climbout. Second sortie a B-17 knocked out my engine after I got one of his drones (I was diving out with bombs falling all around me, lookied like you clobbered the city pretty well from where I was ), by the third there were 4 or 5 of us attacking the last intact flight of buffs (FiltH) and I got one of them and an assist.

Great mission filth, and to the 4th and all the escorts, great job!

City received light damage for the loss of all bombers. The escort performed beautifully allowing us to target with few losses. We lost alot of buffs enroute to disco however.

 Mission:Failure

   B17s will stand down the next mission in order to replenish planes and crews.

   Although the city was hit, Luftwaffe HQ was unscathed. That coupled with the heavy losses, resulted in a failure.

   Thanks to all who attended. Look for another mission soon.

LOL.......Sorry i missed our date.........had to keep the sheep happy....ha!

I was surprised at the light damage, several of you must have been off on calibration. Made a test run last night with your loadout and took down 23% in one pass. I figured with the numbers I saw over the target that you guys would have annihilated it.

Of course nobody came after me, and it can be a lot harder to calibrate properly with a Gruppe or two shooting at you. Plus you guys seemed to be a much looser formation than usual, I was really surprised at that.

Kind of shows you in a small way how the B-17 crews IRL could do so well in peacetime training ("dropping a bomb in a pickle barrel from 20,000 feet") and then completely miss a target when flying over Germany.

The harder-mode calibration in the AvA definitely makes a difference in accuracy over the easy mode used in the MA.
