Detailed to Intercept Massive 25+ (?) bombing raid... report follows:

Sortie 1: 109G14 - found buffs at 20K+ with escorts - got 1 pass in, damaged 2 buffs, shot down by buff gunners in an ugly display of .50 cal prowess.

Sortie 2: Tempest - found buffs at 25K, got 2 passes in, shot down 2 bombers, exhausted ammo. Driven off by escorting P51B.

Sortie 3: Me-163 - found buffs at 25K, got 2 passes in, shot down 1 bomber. Stupidly collided with wing of bomber on 3rd pass and died embarrassingly.

Sortie 4: 109K4 - pursued B17s heading home, got in 1 pass, shot down 1 bomber, but got engine knocked out by defensive guns. Glided home to field, crashed on runway.

Filth - this raid was a blast. Never have I seen so much concentrated bomber fire, and the results were pretty much as I would expect. Frame rate took a serious hit, and there was some stuttering during the passes, but it was still flyable.

I look forward to the next raid.

I believe we had 30 pilots in B17 at takeoff..a few more slipped in just after we upped. Id say about 33 B17 pilots total. Thats about 100 B17s. Quite a group to see. Ive been in bigger groups, but none that performed so well.

I got 3 in a tempest and 2 in a 163... I got greedy (and lazy) going for #3 and got nailed. I wish the arenas had sufficient numbers that larger raids like this were more common.

Almost 3 times - my Tempest had a lot of bullet holes in it too. Now I remember why I like flying the B17 so much - it takes a licking and keeps on ticking big time.

Next time I try the 190 rockets out....

I flew by last night as a Bish just to see what all those buffs looked like. Unfortunatly when I got close my FPS dropped to 2-3 and I had to bug out. Looked pretty awsome what I saw of it.

I've only killed one bomber with the 190 rockets, of course my aim is less than perfect. But, for me I have to be pretty much dead on their six to hit one with a rocket. And we all know what happens when you are flying dead six into a group of bombers.
