AAR- "Targets over London" April 6th, 2001
« on: April 06, 2001, 11:50:00 PM »
My first event as a CM went extremely smooth, mostly due to the help of Cobra and banana. I was very impressed by the behavior and maturity of all in the arena tonight. banana, Cobra and I were watching all over the arena during the fiercest fighting, planes going down in flames, and not a word was typed over channel one for at least 5 minutes. And even then, they were congratulatory.

The "snapshot" consisted of a German bombing raid flown by JU88's with bf109f's as escorts. Ripsnort was the CO of the Luftwaffe side. The brits were led by SwoopGB as CO, leading his spit5 interceptors. The two sides met as the Luftwaffe was about halfway to target. The spitfire hordes dove past the 109's and inflicted heavy damage on the JU88 flight. However, the bf109's began to even the field after a while, and cleared the way for some of the JU88's to get to their targets. Both sides fought hard in a very enjoyable Snapshot. BTW, this one was designed by daddog.        

Here are some screens taken during the frame...

Hope to see you at the next event.

Very close! <S> Check my math. Have had little sleep.

I should add it would have been a LW victory if I gave more points for larger ground targets destroyed, (buildings and such).  I gave every ground target 3 points be it an ack or fuel refinery building. The RAF lost 4 buildings in the raid.

Extreme fun factor!  That last shot was bigjoe and myself as gunner, Bigjoe should get a Iron Cross with Oak clusters for not only taking over as FL when I was shot down, but managing to outmanuever 3 enemy spits, only to be shot down 1/2 way home with engine missing, Rudders out, and Gunner bingo ammo (but full load in pants!)

S!

That was one the best events I've flown in.  The only thing that woulda made it better would be to have it on a British terrain.......as it was we knew almost exactly which way the JU-88s would come from.
