I was looking over the T&L mission criteria and I noticed the B26 included. I thought I read somewhere that the B26 was being "excluded" this time around? Have they been scrapped from the mission plan?

The B-26 will be disabled...It may be added if we can get enough players into it.

Obviously T & L is supposed to provide a somewhat historical setting with a relaxed atmosphere that will allow veterans and new players to come in and have a good time.

If that turns you off or doesn't sound like your cup of tea then don't bother to participate.

I'm lousy at reading the setup notes- will the fuel burn be at MA settings or realistic levels?

Nefarious · « **Reply #18 on:** July 29, 2007, 07:44:40 AM »

Fuel burn will be 1.0

Sweetness.

I hate running out of gas, hehe. We'll be taking plenty.

I hope that we can get some good footage and screenies from this. I'm looking for a good desktop screenshot.

The time of destruction is near. Are we ready?

A bit touchy aren't we?

Absolutely incredible event Nefarious! A massive wave of 110's came through our group from hi 12:00. Then the carnage began. We had cons tying up the escorts (who did an excelent job I might add!), attacking the bombers, cons dying from the TG's...all moments before we dropped. After we dropped and reformed, 3 109's attacked from 12:00. One peppered my windscreen with holes. Sheer luck we didnt die from that one. Then magoo mixed it up with a con that was trailing us for miles and miles, and finally got the kill and RTB'd. Then upon approach, we found that Both Jimmyz and my landing gear were badly dammaged and we had to belly in.

As good an event as I've seen anywhere!Pucker factor 9!

Big to Stoney and his group, and magoo and the 4th FG, and the attached escorts!

Now I'm really jonesing for Der Grosse Schlag.

pics will follow.

Gentlemen, that was fun.

Bearkats, Roscoroo and I were scouts, we were out front, Alone, spread up and down the chanell looking for you.

Found ya

Tried to vector the guys in but then, you know, thunder lightning volcanoes erupting, hell breaking loose and all that

That's a Big Ol Map to cover with the amount of people that showed up though, really would like to get more people involved, that was just too much fun to miss out on, and with more pilots up it would have been Wild!

blkmgc · « **Reply #26 on:** July 29, 2007, 09:29:27 PM »

So you guys were the first ones we encountered slightly low 11:00 ?

ROC · « **Reply #27 on:** July 29, 2007, 09:31:20 PM »

I think the First guy you encountered was Roscoroo, I was slightly south.

blkmgc · « **Reply #28 on:** July 29, 2007, 09:35:53 PM »

I had a momentary sigh of relief when the escorts got on you three. ....then this big sea of red "110" 's appeared on our hi 12:00. 2 words....OH S***! hehe.

Turned into one hell of a fight. I think evreyone got some, we even mannaged to lay some iron on the target.

Big ~~to out LW foe as well, yall made it hairy there for a while.~~

i was the one inbetween 35-37 (?) dar rings ... I caught up with ya from about 2 oc I think .. I barely got a icon on the b-17's and this herd of pee-38's came a calling ... I knew I had no chance in hell to get near the buffs , so I tryed to displace the escorts enough for one of our squads to come get ya .

From that point I ended up tangling with the one p-38 that stayed with me , and a spit 9 came over to help ... Well after a down n dirty dogfight ... I came out ahead

later I managed to catch back up with the b-17's but they had already hit the factory ... there was still to many 38's and only 3 of us there . we tangled some with the escorts again ,,, but alias vee were out numbered badly and decided to live to fight another day . I landed with about 10 mins of fuel left .
