a whine disguised as a request
« on: January 10, 2012, 03:17:55 PM »
First and foremost, thanks to the AvA staff for the work they do to keep the best arena in AH going. So here is the whine: Anybody besides me missing the B17? I did a quick search of the setups listed on the forum here and had to go all the way back to the week of Sept 3 ("Stepping on the toe" setup) to find a setup with a plane list including the B17. (not including special setups like jet week or WW1 week). Aaaaand here is the request; can/is a setup that includes the B17 be coming soon?


Ok, now for the disclaimer that comes at the bottom of all whine threads. I am aware that the B17 did not take part in every major or minor air battle that warrents inclusion in this arena, and I am not trying to deride the other setups that don't include the B17.  I just enjoy throwing in a random bomber run when I fly in the AvA, and I am missing doing this in the best looking bomber available in the AH plane set.

/end poorly worded yet still annoying whine  :D

The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

Also I assume AvA is recreating a specific event, regardless of what was available in the timeframe

you mean Operation Husky? because I know the guy who did the write up and that sheep lover only listed the B24, B26, and TBM for allied bombing. I also wouldn't put it past him to enable the B17 but disable the bomb loadouts; he's got that kind of sick humor.  :P

15th Photographic Reconnaissance Squadron, flying B17s; and the B24s where used for anti-sub work.  I only did a quick skim through that link, but I didn't find anything about B26s being used.  :headscratch:

so close yet so far.  :cry

99th Bomb Group of the 12th Air force operated over Sicily in support of Husky.

Messerschmitts Over Sicily by Steinhoff has accounts of JG77 attacking B-17s, if I recall correctly.
