My scalp!
« on: December 20, 2008, 07:39:58 AM »
<S> I had a trio of B26s this week so there was a bit to go around.

The attacks were, generally speaking, of a pretty high order this week.  A 262 flown by Jennifer got right amongst us without being seen!  Great attack, but shooting let her down.

A bunch of 262s made some serious attacks.  Ystur16 cleaned up my first drone but got a smoky engine for his trouble.  DamnName, Temo89 and Sqwigly all pressed their 262s in but also ended up leaving with smoke trails.
Then came big trouble!

Sethbag made a beautiful diving attack taking out my number one plane and leaving me with a smoking engine on the last.  I pinged him but the A8 is built tough and showed no damage.
Sloehand came down in a text book vertical assault and took the wingtip off my last 26.  I was trying to steer it close enough to the field to at least throw my bombs out.  Another 262 came past, East I think, and continued by.  I couldn't shoot really from the crippled plane.  I'm not sure, but I think he went straight past and beat me to the ground.

I threw out the bombs now and raced them to the ground.  We all hit a hangar together.

I jumped in and gunned for a few seconds for SD67 getting smoke trails from 2 more 262s, BigCat and Pounder.

I grab a tank and drive around for a bit and who shoots me?  Sloehand again!

Well after that I did a fair bit more in gvs and kept trying to make a dent in Tigers with M8s.  No joy.  It was fun though.

My scalp was shared but truly the attacks from Sethbag and Sloehand were brilliant.  WTG!   :salute

 
I get really really tired of selective realism disguised as a desire to make bombers easier to kill.

Sorry about that, Dantoo. I was with the escorts that tried to protect you guys. Our problem was the bombs we were carrying to clean up what you guys missed. Only at the last second did we jettison ord., but it was too late. That, and Me-262s are next to impossible to intercept in the right conditions, let alone one diving in from that alt.
