There is one issue with the plane set for the Allies, the P-38L was not flown by any fighter groups in the 8th AF and should be removed from the plane set.


ack-ack

In the scenario, the P-38L is being used as the F-5E recon platform, and thus will have no ammo in their guns.

In this instance, he added it to attract more players and spur interest, same reason why he has the P-47N. It was worse in the MA, Luftwaffe OpFor was being engaged by Luftwaffe escort.

We already have a plan to cover that.  We are going to have at least 6 pilots trck and engage you so our buffs have a chance of at least getting ne on target.  Those brave 6 pilots will all be volunteers of course because their chance of surviving agains you are slim to none, but it maybe, by chance, with a little luck, one buff sneaks past you, then we are good with it.


 :rofl :rofl :rofl



I hope to be there tonight  :rock

The Buffs made it back to base with some escorts.  The Luftwaffe made a valiant run at defending.


I got the kill on Stampf.  :banana:

Sorry I missed it.  A very lively 3 year old let the air out of my Mustangs tires!

Yes you did.  Made it all the way back to base on that one wing but couldn't make the landing this time.

Guess that makes us about, what...6 and 1 my friend?  :D

Nice work last night.  Nice and tight.  Flew into a wall of steel.

See ya tonight.

Was good fun last night. Got two valliant 190s and put rounds into 3 or 4 more Axis before I got tied up with Jetsom and lost a wing.   :salute

I must say that was a very intense fight......... no hard feelings :salute

I was able to go on and kill 3 more after, but I had good ALT on them and they tried to climb up to me.... :t

Absolutely no hard feelings bud. The fight was excellent. One of the best I've had in a while. When I get beat in a good fight I'll usually throw out a  :salute in a heartbeat which is what I should learn to do in these situations.

Unfortunately, I can never get past the single FE collision. Character flaw I guess. Supremely unfair IMO.

it was a good one :D

I went and watched it and on my end we were no where near colliding....if I were to die/take damage it would have been wrong.....it is not unfair, it is the best that there is considering the internet.....

Probably the best use of AH time I've ever had, despite having played for years.

Managed four kills in my 410 before Shredd ended my hubris.

On reviewing the film, I see I didn't seem to land a single MK 193 shell. Can't imagine how I amanged that. Will try to post some screeneis.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB
