DGS the most epic scenario in the history of AH
« on: September 23, 2012, 09:45:21 AM »
Not many here were probably around for it but I think the most immersive scenario I have experienced was Der Grosse Schlag.

watching 190s tear into a mile long bomber stream while being mauled by mustangs and p38s with 109s slashing this way and that.

epic.

how much longer till the first frame starts for the second edition of this most excellent scenario?

I plan to experience it from the 8th air force perspective in the nervous seat of a bomber pilot and sweat out the luftwaffe and flak and see if I can survive even one mission.
Fester was my in game name until September 2013

2 weeks.

No, you won't survive a single frame my friend, but kudos for volunteering to take up a target.

There will be no losers in this scenario if you're goal is fun and immersion.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

This scenario will be epic. Already we are expecting an attendance of over 250.

Still many slots open for the Luftwaffe! We will be unstoppable :devil

I commend the enthusiasm of the Luft but we shall see how they feel when the Mighty Eigth drops its rain upon their country side destroying all their hopes for greatness into a big wad of rubble.   :neener:

Anyone that is interested Allies always looking for more BRAVE Bomber Pilots to drop the rain from the skies. Head to the DGS General tab for more Information.

Like we have been saying all along, we are not concerned.  Clearly even you know you won't hit the buildings!  All you are going to do is till the soil for us making the next planting season easier.  :aok

  If I were you I'd be looking for anyone who could aim, I mean, how brave do you have to be?  Are you concerned about the ability of your escorts to keep you guys protected?

Of course im not concerned about our pilots we have only the best and most skilled on both fighter and bomber sides. This will be fun indeed and the only planting you need to worry about will be the noses of luft in the ground and the flowers over the graves.   :lol

I see a lot of Lufty pilots putting the nose down, making their runs and not coming back...at least not while the Pony's of the 364th are around.  :devil

I'm hoping to make it as a walk on. It was one of the best I've flown as well.  I was one of the lucky few to get to fly a 262 last time around, and let me tell you, if you think a jet in the MA draws a lot of attention, in that scenario it was insane.

 Was a ton of fun, look forward to it!
