Battle of Britain Scenerio

[Brooke]

I've noticed the number of assists on our side has been very high - .303s mean a lot of people are likely to put lead in a Hun before he goes down. I'm guessing the same is true for the bomber gunners.

Very true.  In frame 1, KG 53 (the He 111's) got 30 assists, and in frame 2, 22 assists (unfortunately, some of them being on our own fellow bombers  ).

[Zacherof]

In case you thought this only happened in WWI; Up close and personal with Zacherof:

That was you i fliped over. I actually cringed when i Saw you 
Much fun

[Beefcake]

That was a barrel of fun yesterday, the battle over A62 near the end of the frame was quite exciting.



Nice fight RAF!  

[macleod01]

Amazing fun! I kind of saw the battle for A62, I was SAR underneath the fight. I did hear a lot of bombs falling and lots of explosions as well as lot of range vox chatter.

Great fun though, I apparantly got 2 kills! So I'm happy even though I didn't think I had got any. Lots of 109s about and they were all challanging the Voyager to be furthest from the earth, but good fun and everyone engaged. Makes a differance to the MA when you see someone at 30K and they BnZ once then run. Here they stayed and fought, even if it ment going down in the process.

<S> to BaldEagl and all of 92 Squad. Was a pleasure to fly with you and I appreciate you letting me join you.

Might make it for frame 3, we'll have to wait and see, but fingers crossed!

I. & II. JG52 "Experten" AAR -- Frame 2

Mission One

I.JG52 Took out of 96 with our second wing taking out from 104. II.JG52 was lead by Barkhorn. We rallied in 15.10.6 sector, to rendezvous with the rest of the JG Fighter Gruppes in 13.10. When proceeding directly West towards 13.10.5 from 15.10 I received word the other JG Gruppe were going to go in without JG52. I respected this decision for I would have done the exact same. Just following orders. Since the JG54 and JG2 went in without us, I went ahead and adjusted I.JG52 heading to 12.11.5 direct path. I told my II.JG52 wing leader to branch off and fly a bit west then go into 12.11 from South to North at a slight angle. I staggered my two groups, I.JG52 at 27k and II.JG52 at 30k. II.JG52 was reserved for any high fighters that attempted to bounce the low group. With that plan into play I had no worries of any enemy no matter how large the group. When arriving to 12.11, I noticed JG2 was half present and I heard from one JG54 pilot and I immediately thought, we are too late. That was not the case though ! A few minutes after arriving, 6 co alt spitfires with I.JG52 arrived. I gave the order to engage, I then called for my higher group II.JG52 to come serve as high alt. cap and that I.JG52 could handle the low spits. I set a hard deck for both groups and my very well trained killers handled the spits with little to no difficulty. Then a few minutes after the spitfires were downed, a high group of 3 arrived. II.JG52 took care of the high spitfires within seconds. Great wingman tactics from both groups. I then set a rendezvous point for 100 to rearm. In that fight we lost 0 pilots, but one did have to rtb due to the 88mm flak.

(I forgot to record the first half of the frame)

Mission Two

11 of 12 pilots took off after rearming swiftly at 100. We upped from 100 and headed directly to 12.11. When we arrived we splashed the three spits we encountered, after those three spits there wasn't anything else there. My fuel watcher, Save, told us we were at 50% fuel and we should head home. So we decided to clock out a bit early and headed home. A fellow JG52 member called for help in 12.8 so I took the entire squadron to handle the big bad spitfires ganging up on my Emil pilot. When we arrived we arrived a few minutes too late and the spitfires had bugged out before we could arrive. So I sent a rescue party to rescue my downed pilot and we then proceeded to 100 with 25% fuel left. Upon arriving at 100 we notcied Ditto and morfiend on the deck tangled up with 3 spitfires. Me, having my entire squadron with me, gave the command "Go eat fellas" . Shortly after giving the command all 11 of my pilots pounced on the poor little spitfires. They didn't know what hit em.   .

The second part of Mission Two, we lost Save. He went to bed, so that left me with 10 pilots. Still enough to take care of any big bad spitty fires, or at least I thought so. We rearmed at 100 and took off again as a two groups, II.JG52 and I.JG52.

We got high and tight as a group.


I call this four the fearless four: Latrobe, Flyman92, Ratio & Teacher.


Upon flying through lame puffy ack, we noticed a lot of cons off our 1:00 and 3:00. We thought it was JG54 so we didn't turn into them. . .That was a bad mistake because they were bandits higher than our high cap group.


I kept it cool, we had good pilots. We could handle anything they threw at us. We flew tight, until I gave the command to break.


We were doing fine with the spitfires. . .until back-up arrived; Hurri I's. I then called for help on command channel and reported JG52 entire squadron engaged and in danger.


I realized help was not coming, so I gave the command "Lets dance". JG52 then did a bit of that flying stuff Redtail asked us to perform. Flyman clearing a squad mate.


Wingman Tactics at its greatest, trailing Latrobe a bit to clear any possible bandits. . .While evading a Hurri I.


Just a little of last night. I don't know why my images turned out in such bad quality I run full graphics with anti-aliasing all the way up. I guess its because of the resolution I switched from yesterday to this morning.

[Latrobe]

That last sortie was just pure chaos. So much so that I forgot to hit the record button!  It was still a blast and I had lots of fun flying with you guys. I might have to do it again next frame. I'll be uploading our first 2 runs to YouTube over night (very big video, will take all night  ).

I pwnd Schlowy according to the logs in BoB frame 2.  Pwned his 109e good and silly.

Just saying.  

whilst killing the #1 luft whiner in game is an admirable achievement you only made 1 kill on his 109 in a 3 HOUR event!   this is not acceptable for a spitfire pilot of your calibre!!

I will however grant you those 30 mins training for every kill you make.   Just keep the watermelon chatter off of country!
