There are five brave bomber in the upcoming "Battle of the Dnieper" scenario so far:

Dhawk
Flossy
SKFGAlpo
SKOzone
Beefcake

Where are the rest of you?

Don't you know that bomber pilots are the STARS of scenarios?

Don't you know that the GLORY is there for your taking?

Come on, bomber pilots!

Time to get in there for the fun!

It is not possible that a bomber pilot won't want scenario action like this:

I don't fly bombers in the main area, I have no idea what keyboard button corresponds to what gunner position and can't hit the broadside of a barn. 

That being said, some of my best memories are flying bombers in a scenario.  From deep runs into England in a He-111 to sneak attacks behind enemy lines in a soviet B-25C, bomber pilots are always the lynchpin to a successful strategy. 

I really urge anyone interested in a different AH experience than the MA to give it a shot.  To me the best part of scenario flying is to get out of my comfort zone and fly an aircraft that I wouldn't even look at in the MA and meet some new people to boot.

I'll get off my soapbox now :)

Prior scenario bomber formations from a fighter's perspective:





















I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

I was shot down behind enemy lines last month. If I complete my escape tunnel in time count me in!

Here is a picture of my encounter with 999000 in a previous scenario.

Hard lesson to learn,

You see a set of B-17s all alone during a scenario and you know that 999999999999999999999 is on the roster....

LEAVE THEM ALONE   

You are better off attacking the entire 8th air force in formation...    :joystick:

Brooke, my friend.  I would happily fly bombers if that is what you needed to make this scenario work, even American Bombers.  But alas, I work on Saturday's until 8 PM EST.

The last Saturday scenario I missed because of this, the one before I made every frame because I told huge lies to get Saturday's off that month.

Gentlemen.............where are the buff pilots at?

Sign up already if possible.

Thanks, Zoney.  :aok The schedule of the next scenario might work out -- might be one of those 12-hour formats.
