Lancers and Mongrels Joint Squad Night
« on: January 04, 2010, 10:07:49 AM »
Last night the 68th Lighting Lancers and the 332nd Flying Mongrels held a joint squad night mission in Late War Orange. It was a medium altitude (15,000 feet) medium bomber run to the Rook fuel refinery, just to ensure plenty of action. The Mongrels flew B-26B's and the Lancers flew P-51B's, here are a few screen shots, <S> and thank you to the Lancers for such fun night and a great escort to the target.

Bombers formed up and level at 15,000 feet.

High cover keeping an eye out for bandits.

First engagement with the enemy was about 15 minutes out from target.

Lined up on target.

Bandits in the bombers!

Bombs away!

BDA shows 95% of bombs dropped hit the target!

Was a great night for all, the Mongrels had a bast!   :salute  to the 68th Lighting Lancers, looking forward to the next joint squad night.
HTC Please show the blue planes some love!

<S> Baumer , It was a blast, we had 4 fighter wings of 4 planes in each wing, Falcon was leading our wing and we had fun engaging the 109's and spits with our P51B's (wish we could of got the P51D's darn Eny ) when you do big squad missions like this it really brings realism to the game. We had a blast and like to do this with any squads that want to have a fun time.

It was a lot of fun, and I thought it added a sense of realism, much like an FSO.
 :salute to the Mongrels for asking us to work with you fine gentlemen.
