Kuya's Thursday night mission in the MA

[Zoney]

I saved a film of the sortie, somehow it didn't save it though

You were the man last night Butcher    well done sir.

Those pilots were in stolen planes, stolen uniforms, and had in their possession stolen plans.  They were arrested after they bailed out and shot at sunrise this morning.

Just doing my part, I think we need to keep this 8th AF mission going every week if not twice a week because its a total BLAST, think next week I will have to be a luftwobble pilot though just to give the escorts some.....headaches

One of the shortcoming's in the Mission was the map.  It was a small map and hard to get a decent climb out and room to coordinate without getting too close to frontlines.  Hopefully, a bigger map will be present and more room to maneuver.

Was fun.  Interesting how it played out too.  TheMaj of the 4th FG and my 364th FG Mustangs were trailing the bombers out and saw the single 190 swinging in.  Stampf really worked it and the fight ended up on the deck.  Both Maj and I shot off a lot of ammo.  I thought I finished off the 190 when I saw his wing break off about halfway.  Both theMaj and I broke off only to see the 190 right itself.  Stampf got it on the ground 10 feet from the runway too!

As I said on 200, I think TheMaj and I will get 1/2 kill each as that 190 won't fly again.  But much to our disappointment, we know we'll see that pilot again, and he's good!

Thanks Dan.

I was actually on my second hop having lost my first ride to buff wreckage collision.  I knew I would never get back into position, and found my self flying right along with a 47 squadron for some time.  My hope was to drag these guys out of the stream, if and when I could get into position on the trailing buffs.  They seemed quite content to wait for me to do so.  That's when you and your wingman showed, and I could see right away your only thought was collecting my scalp. 

Nice flying on the dive.  Was pretty intense avoiding all those 50 cal rounds.  One tends to get pretty adept at defensive rolls after flying the A8 allot. When we got to the deck, all I could do was try to survive.  I was already on fumes and expected my engine to quit...that's when I was relieved of my wing.  The snap roll you saw was intentional...as is the customary way to regain control of the A-8 after losing the torque side wing.  I was relieved to see you two break after that...and made it to the field, but ran dry on petrol on final approach.

<S> Both of you.  Wish I could have provided a better fight.

I was hoping to get a chance to wing up with you JG11 guys, but got tied up helping my sister out and didn't get home in time. Maybe next week!  <S>

What's interesting is this goes against all the MA whining.  A big mission, announced early on the bbs.  Time set, objectives set for everyone to see.  Then it's announced on 200 saying where it's going and what alt, along with the planes involved.  And the incoming raid is asking to be intercepted.

Even stranger is it appears those people involved on both sides are enjoying themselves.

What are we doing wrong?

Yet we had some difficulties to convince quite a number of our countrymen that this was no basegrab mission

"ALERT A4! GET THE WIRBELS OUT!"
Despite the constant upates on mission altitude on country channel. Even funnier the fact that each base overflown had indeed Wirbels on the base. Sometimes even shooting at the bombers

"ALERT A11! HUNT the GOONS!"
After about 30 minutes of that battle in progress. Some players apparently always type, but never read 


"MAN THEY SUCK! THEY DIDNT ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING!"
Means: No base captured and the HQ was still up. This is probably what they call a "waist of resurses!"

And the incoming raid is asking to be intercepted.

That, my friend, is what makes it fun for all and the core difference between a mission and a horde. It is, was, and always will be about the engagement with other players. Friend and enemy alike.

I know our squad had a good time escorting in the 47s. I've talked to Trukk about flying the Luft side next week since we normally fly Bish. If we do there will be 1 squad up there grouped up looking for the buffs.

Any time at all, Fugi.  You are welcome in the 11th.

Something is askew.

Fugi, you are welcome to fly with the 11th any time you wish.  Bring TB along with you too.  However, JG11 will not be participating as a unit in these missions.  5 PM on a weekday for my west coast players. 

I offered a few suggestions to the Allied kommand on how to increase Luftwaffe participation - and was ignored.

So be it...they seem to know of some other imaginary Luftwaffe units in the game...  I am actually starting to think they enjoy no opposition.  Which is fine, cuz come the fall...8th AF won't have a clue about how to deal with the Luftwaffe when faced with the real deal in DGSII.

Cheers man.
