If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

I'll be flying against you guys in the scenario, but since I forgot to switch countries before logging last night, looks like I'll be with you tonight.

I'm glad there are no 152s in the scenario, what a pain in the butt!

It was good fun again.  Thanks to the JG11 folks and KN folks who were up there at 30K and some in the 152s and 109Ks.  Again vox went crazy when that wall of red rolled in :)

Covering the 17s


Most definitely a brawl from where I was sitting.  Morfiend almost had me in his 152 but Iceman flying my wing drove him off.  DejaVu missed on a 460 + pass that went between myself and Iceman, and an A8 driver almost had the drop on me but Bfoot1 shot him down.  Very intense fight and back 'in the cockpit' again.

I began to question my sanity when we flew into your even bigger wall of red. Damn, there was a lot of Allied metal in the skies!



I don't normally fly German, but the TA-152 flew beautifully and after clearing a few sixes, missing several crossing shots, and mixing it up with some Ponies on the deck with Morf till my ammo was gone, I coasted onto the runway with one scalp and a sense of relief.  A quick glance showed I was at the wrong end of a firing solution at least once, but the bird held together.



 :salute All, was great fun

That was fun !  Going to be even more fun next week.  I see steady improvements in escort and enemy fighters.  I think the Luftwaffe was lined up a bit too far west as bombers were heading north to the targets which caused them to mostly come in behind the buff group.  They did not get a good initial run with an advatage angle on the group so they missed what I believe to be that first run which normally has devestating effect on the buff group.  Hope to see you all, and more next week  :salute
