Tonights Snapshot (Stuka)

[hornet36]

If you are interested in being a CO for this event please post here...


The Luftwaffe has been assigned to close shipping traffic in the English Channel in the opening days of The Battle of Britain. The date is 10 August, 1940 and German radar has been picking up Channel traffic close to the Southern English shore. Fleiger Korps VIII has been operating sorties against small convoys escorted by light navy ships. JU87 "Stuka" bombers have been hunting with great success while being escorted by BF110s out of Cherbourg. It's 17:00 hours and another group of ships have been detected trying to slip away in the late day's calm and orders are to find and destroy.

The RAF 609 Squadron has had a long day in their Hurricanes flying naval cover and pursuit of incroaching Luftwaffe bombers. So far they they have been chasing ghosts and their aircraft are fully loaded with ammo and petrol when the scramble order comes in. "Seek and destroy all Luftwaffe, Godspeed!" crackles over their headsets as they lift off the field.

Not to be picky, but 609 was a well known Spitfire squadron

If friendly collisions are on won't there be a problem spawning and taking off?  Or (this would be ultra cool),  You guys could call us by name to spawn from the hanger and taxi to the runway!  That would be great.
