I am hoping to be there, but expect me to fly fighter support. I am just fodder in a gv.

I just might switch teams for this.

This is the ONE and ONLY reason for me to switch countries.


Delta, I wouldn't expect the sky to not be filled with Lancaster's and Il2's. I hope they choose to use Ju88s and Ju87's though, for effect.

Lol, I think I will actually join this mission. I love those GV's!!  :rock

 :devil On the other side, I could up Lancs. Hmm, but I do hate bomb****s.

Cant wait.

Would be great if the opposing side upped just Hurricane IID or B-25S at most. Carpet bombing Lancs and Il-2s are complete overkill against a ground force equipped with M16's only.
I'm contemplating doing this, but I'm afraid I will only get a big number of assists because of all the strafing Il-2 and fighters...

Or better yet, German/Italian vehicles only.  190F8s, Stukas and Ju88s with some air cover to support them.

That's definitely much better for immersion... but personally, I find Hurri D much more sporting against a GV raid without Ostie or Wirbel. Formations of Ju88's with 4x1100lbs isn't much different from Lancs in that regard. ;)

But they are much slower and the M16s may hit them easier and faster.
