<S> Allies, was extreme fun!
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

It was a good time.  I hope the 2nd frame is just as fruitful.   :aok

Just for the record Oak.  The 109 G14 is a pig above 22k. Anything lower and you guys would have had your hands filled with the 109s.

I would rather have a G-2 above 20k ft than a G-14.  We need a 109G-6/AS for these 8th AF FSOs.

Mongrels had an excellent night.
We had 23 pilots (actually 24, but the extra was a gunner) and 0 deaths.
Lost a few drones, but not a bomber single pilot. Made it to our target, had a successful drop and flew home. One P-38 pilot had to ditch in the Channel. He was captured and another P-51 pilot had to bail over France.

Credit goes to our escorts:

Salute to the Allied Cic on the use of "Decoys" .

Rt was tasked with patrolling 13.10 sector. Why any bomber group would choose this route to A71 would be suicide because of the heavy concentration of radar is beyond me, however, those where the orders and we followed them.

RT found in 2 cases a lone Jug flying around 2 airfields, A46 and A47 or A49,(I cant remember) in that order,right before A71 was to be attacked thus on radar, it would appear a force flying that route. In both cases the single jug was just circling not making any bomb run. So future axis Cic's take note of this tactic.  :D

Didn't the CM's issue a statement against tactics like this?
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

That's what I was thinking Saxman. We have the proof. I wanted to put the information out there and let them decide if it is within the rules.

That dose seem like a cheating on AH considering in real life that doesn't work.

I don't remember any rules on using decoys, none the less, they weren't in my orders.
