Big <S> to the 100th , and the 78th FG, and any other groups and friends that flew the bomber mission tonight to the Bishop Refinery and Vehicle base (118). We got our noses bloodied ,but we gave as good as we got. Most RTB'd damaged or with missing bombers, some didnt make it back. Escorts reporting many kills and assists and some being shot down.
Had a couple 262's in the mix (gave up my lead ship to one, nice passes Solar 10 <S> ), and a persistent 109 that followed us all the way back to base...and then died to our escorts.
Lots of excitement, great fights at high and medium alt , tons and tons of steel on target. The 100th bombed the bejeebers out of V118, and we took down the refinery to 29%. Good times.
Hope someone has some pics to post here. During all the excitement, it totally slipped my mind to take some, hehe.
CO's note You read a lot here about others saying one way of battling is better or worse than others, but when the game and its design offers this much fun at just about any level, I see little to complain about. Find your groove, and settle in.
