How to clear your wingman - an illustrated guide

[bozon]

Step 1 - tools for the job:
Select the best fighter available. This is always the Mosquito VI.
Load up full ammo and some bombs in the bomb&weapons bay, just because you can and the moss is awesome that it has one - eat your heart out F-35! 
Load up on tea and biscuits.

Step 2 - Communication:
Your wingman reports that he is on the deck with a red conga line behind him.
Tell him that you got it under control. It may not be true, but it helps his moral.
Tell your navigator to put the kettle on.



Step 3 - Interception:
Set course to cut his way. Once in icons range, survey the situation. Hmmm... bleak indeed.
Inquire with your navigator how the tea is coming along.



Step 4 - preparation:
Open the bombs&weapons bay, because you have one even though it is 70 years before the F-35 
Your navigator should have the tea cups and napkins all ready.

Step 5 - Math:
divide the distance to the most immediate threat by the mean air velocity of an unladen swallow. This gives you a measure of time. Divide by the queens bra size and count backwards - then hit bomb release.



Step 6 - Comedy:
Sit back and laugh hard while sipping your tea.


Watch the other two reds scatter in horror and calmly offer some biscuits to your wingman, like an RAF gentleman.

Pictures are broken. Good thread I wish we had more like this.

I just tell Waystin to pick something and kill it, I'll hang back 800-1200 and get in the way of anything following. I get him home with a bunch of scalps that way. Sometimes the poor bunny escapes Waystin hopping up in front of my guns and goes boom. We call it the buzzsaw effect. Up and around and down over and over and over......bzzzzzzzzz.

There is an up side benefit that half the time on his way up, Waystin kills the con trying to time our actions to pick one of us. Or I do. The downside to it is the wingman has to be willing to give up actively looking for kills and just be a diversion and warning controller for the shooter.

just a quick question.  isnt your wingman supposed to be your bait?

The way I remember doing it went like so:

My wingman, in a P-38, diving away from a Tiffie that is quickly gaining on him, because he isn't in a Mossie.  I dive after and gain on both, because I am in a Mossie.  As the ground nears and both pull out I pull lead and fire off about 100 rounds of Hispano ammo and, with perfect aim, drill the P-38 with most of the rounds from about 1200 yards.

Then I am back in the tower.

Then the P-38 driver is back in the tower, now very clear of the Tiffie which is many miles away.

Odd, they work fine for me.
The whole meaning of this thread is lost without the pics...
Too bad I cannot edit the original post.

I can extract the URLs from the source and then view them, but they do not display in the post for me.

[pembquist]

Yes, I can click on the urls in page source. Those fools in lesser planes will just never realize they might as well not take off.

Maybe Skuzzy has that hosting site on a block list.

Is that an African or European Swallow you use to guesstimate the speed with?

All I can see is 1 pic
Looks like you have had tea and crumpets and your Co pilot is teabaging in the cockpit..

Side note:
Hope you did not drop the beer kegs you where ment to deliver..that mossie  knows how to deliver.
