Rook MoM, escort strategy?

[Stampf]

I dont know. I was able to do it and it was only the first time I ever escorted bombers. Usually I'm flying the bomber.

And I'll admit I dont think I got any kills. A few assists but no kills, at least I dont think so. Its all a matter of discipline so far as chasing cons away from a bomber group no matter what your escorting in. My big thing is to keep the high ground away from the interceptors and force them to take angles in that give the buff gunners the advantage. Giving so much information and advantage to the enemy took away a lot of that but there were still a lot of Jug sticks who stayed high and disciplined.

Theres always a few who think landing kills is job #1 and screw the other guy and they will do it in any airplane you put em in. The P-47 is a very capable escort airplane. Besides up at 25k to 30k, where they are supposed to be, they climb about the same.

As a Buff driver all I ever wanted from escorts was for them to take away the high angles of attack that are difficult to defend. Everything else we'll take care of in the guns.

Give this man a cookie.
