49th Fighter Group Homecoming Mega B-29 Raid

[scott66]

Party in the rook O-Club tommorrow night brfore the mission....come one come all. We can all just SIT around and watch the mission unfold. Nits and bish invited only. Switch sides and support the 49's on their EPIC mission. Maybe if we get 40-50 side switchers we could all sit on the runway and watch them fly of into the sunset

great idea!! Then maybe the 49th would notice the number and ENY change and say hey 49ers let's all have some real fun and switch countries and leave all the runway sitters scratching their head.. as I see it..you can either up to fly with or escort them or up to try to kill them..or just do the status quo it's all up to you..I'm not Merlin or a 49er  but I applaud them for enticing everyone in the MA to get on the same page united in a common goal join them or kill them..they posted their mission here..not like a big avoid contact and secret mission stuff.the fact they chose b29s should tell you something..if all they wanted to do was level something they could pick lancs or 17s instead of a yummy high perk ride that some would love to shoot down..again this is just IMHO

Sorry I shot down your 29s. But to be fair the 5 escorts covering you should have done a better job shooting down 1 lil ol Typhie.

Nothing could be finer than to kill a 49er in his Tweeeeenty nine ♫

If you were not in the Late War arena on Friday January the 29th you missed an epic B-29 Raid......66 B-29's and we fought our way all the way to the target.........we're going over the films now and we are going to post some videos of the mission. I invite the Bishops to do the same as I am sure they have some great footage from their point of view. The mission from our point of view was a blast...........and we plan on doing another one on February 26th at about the same time. Again to everyone who participated Bishops and Rooks thanks for making it one heck of a mission, and fun to boot.

off map flying.... Lame and gamey.

[NatCigg]

glad to hear it went well.    maybe ill be on next time. 

i got to ask ... how many did you la...no,no, um, did you bomb hq? 

[Vudak]

Yes, but on the other hand I get their point that as they were taking off there was already a group of 9-10 fighters nearby to intercept almost immediately.  I was probably 3-4 sectors behind that group.  It did suck because you spend 45+ minutes climbing to find them running into a zone where bullets apparently don't work, but then again it would also stink from their perspective.

A suggestion for next time, 49Dallas...  Send a few of your better sticks out in 262's prior to your mission to intercept the interceptors...  They don't even need to shoot anyone down.  All they need to do is stay aggressive enough that the interceptors can't keep their speed/alt/heading.  I mean you've seen how effective a 262 can be at breaking up a base assault if it just hangs out near the reinforcement stream.  Same concept. 

That will buy you guys some time to get some alt without being harassed immediately.  It would also speak to effective use of strategy rather than game exploits...

ahhhh come on Vudak, why should they actually play the game and use strategy instead of "gaming the game" which is soooooo much easier to do? It's how they play these days. If you CAN do it, it must be allowed.

They announce weeks in advance about their big mission, supposedly to generate some action and then they hide off map in a no damage zone bug. Typical
