July FSO

Yes, that was my squad that found the Jolly Rogers.

In frame 2, we had Ju88's and suffered a similar fate at the hands of a half-dozen spits and P-38's. We were toast in a minute. Thankfully we had just dropped our eggs when they found us.

You guy's killed me so quick I was only on my 2nd beer.

That's why I start drinking about two hours before  .

We did loose a couple during the B25 engagement

Waystin, just for a little helpful perspective: The He-111H has 7mm guns except for the forward gondola that only angles down (for ground attack, anti-shipping, etc), and will be useless in almost all cases against attacking fighters. They're not even as good as the twin-guns on the Ju88 which fire faster individually than the single guns on the He-111H.

Generally, though, it's much better to be in a faster very tough B-25C (I soaked up TONs of shots in mine during Krupp Steel and used speed and sneakiness to get home safe). The He-111H is powered with the BOB-era modeling. Just for speed comparison:



I know it's kind of hard to recall some performance charts vs other planes at times so I like to put up an image like that. It gives people a quick perspective and perhaps reminds them of some things. Like for Branch37 and his comment about the P-39s not catching Ju88s:

I flew Boston's a couple FSO's ago and I gotta say... They suck!  But this is FSO, sometimes you get the hot plane, sometimes you stuck dreaming of the hot plane.

To quote "The Right Stuff".

"1) Whatta you two rookies gonna have?

Rookies? Now hold on ,sis! You are lookin' at a whole new ballgame, here, now. In fact, a couple more years, I bet you're gonna immortalize us by puttin' our pictures up on that wall! What? I say somethin' wrong here, or...?

1) I tell you what, we got two catagories of pilots around here. You got your prime pilots, that get all the hot planes; and you got your pudknockers, who DREAM of gettin' the hot planes. Now, what are you two PUDKNOCKERS gonna have?

2) Scotch?"

The AH 109E can carry a single 250Kg bomb, but not a droptank.

I just noticed this. Quick question: Can we confirm that? Last I recall the bomb was removed ages ago and it's been "slick" ever since. The Wiki doesn't list it as an option.

Bfoot,

I just want to let you know that the rule making bomber formations mandatory was not changed in the objectives. This may cause confusion to this week's CiC's.
