AKTSgt's LW Bombing Mission AAR's

[USAFCAPcTSgt]

Not to be confused with the Kill Club that was recently in vogue.  I just got my PC replaced with new video and sound cards to give me back my playing ability.  I thought why not keep a record of the fun with bombing.  If you get killed by me or you get to kill me, then you get to be put into my AAR's.  I will be flying a variety of bombers.

First Mission :

15 Feb 13

Took off with a set of B-17's carrying 25% fuel and 12 X 500 lb bombs.  Climbed to 9000 ft altitude and leveled off.  My target was an enemy vehicle field for a quick strike mission.

No enemy fighters were in the immediate vicinity.  Once I calibrated, I set my salvo to 3 for first bomb run.  I destroyed the main VH along with one enemy GV driven by FGBullet.  Many collateral building damage also.  I also dropped on strats for 2nd and 3rd release for more collateral damage.

Having 3 bombs left, I did a 180 wide circle and began to drop altitude for a dive bomb run on another VH.  There were enemy flaks on the field and lost one drone to them.  I released my last 3 bombs missing the VH but killing a flak driven by SEsunSvl plus more buildings.

Destroyed Targets:

One VH
Two GV's
Two Fuel Tanks
Two Barracks
One Soft Gun
Seven Structures

2825 Damage
2 Kills

9 Tons Expended

I had to leave for work and made this as quick as I could.  My new video and sound cards allowed me to bomb like I used to for many years.  Last few months, I was missing easy targets and being shot down to easy.

First Mission

Lifted of with a set of Boston III's carrying 4 X 500 lb bombs and 100% fuel.  The target was an enemy medium airfield for hangar busting.  I climbed to 12,000 ft and leveled off for first run approach.

Once calibrated, I lined up for my bombing run at 318 ground speed.  I set my salvo to 2 bombs.  After pickling them off, I dropped one FH.

I swung around for a second pass at 13,000 ft with a ground speed of 210 calibration dropping my last 2 bombs per plane on a bomber hangar making it go boom also.  I did spot a low Hurri but no chase from him.  There was some light flak coming from the 88 on the field but not hits on me.

Landed successfully with all 3 bombers.

Second Mission

I took off with a set of Ju-88s carrying 4 X 500 kg bombs and 20 X 50 kg bombs and 100% fuel.  My target was an enemy small airfield and town.  I leveled off at 13,000 ft and calibrated at 249 ground speed.

I set my salvo to 4 and selected the 50kg bombs first for the town.  I lined up on the long stretch of clustered buildins and pickled off 5 times to get the most saturation possible.  The result was 30 Town Buildings and 2 gun Emplacements.

During the first bomb run, I was followed by a Spit 16 and was engaged with him for many minutes while trying to line up for last bomb run.  I took some damage but was able to shoot down Weiser but lost the 2nd bomb release.  That's when I was attacked by Ki-67s who had the altitude and tactical advantage.

I abandoned the bomb run and concentrated on defending myself.  I was never able to get the right firing position on the Ki-67s.  I lost two drones to Havermyr and damaged surviving bomber.  I had to disengage and RTB for safe landing with my sole bomber.
