Typhoon and P-47 pilots needed -- let's put it over the top!
« on: March 07, 2020, 05:59:50 PM »
Four P-47 pilots needed for the US 9th Air Force.

Three Typhoon pilots needed for the RAF 2nd Tactical Air Force.

In the glorious battle "To Win the Winter Sky", running Saturdays in May.

Please join us to clear the Luftwaffe out over the Ardennes forest.

I am obliged, out of a sense of fair play, to warn our opponents -- the evil Luftwaffe -- that Arlo is flying with me on the side of goodness and light.

We need but a few P-47 and Typhoon pilots to join us in our campaign against villainy.

I thought you were recruiting not encouraging the baddies.  :D

In melee arena you need 3 Fw190a8 to kill one B26  and expect to lose all 3.
No escorts needed, they both turn better and outclimbs you at 26k :rolleyes:
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

I expect you to fully vet that hypothesis in the scenario. :D

Unfortunately, since Melee arena have been very empty in my TZ, sometimes with large maps (and Buzzaw), I and 2 other squad mates (Bozon and Alskahwk) unsubscribed.


The reason I stayed as long as I did was thanks to Brooke, and others running these scenarios at Euro-friendly TZ !

I'm sure he would appreciate your actual support of this event even though you unsubbed, then. Discouraging Luftwaffe participation is counter-productive without recommending a viable option that would, in turn, mitigate the situation.  :salute :cheers:

In scenarios, 190A-8's and 109G's do just fine.  Many examples are given below.  Maybe it is that 999000 isn't the typical gunner in scenarios, who knows.

Attacking B-26's at 14k is significantly easier than attacking B-17's at 24k, yet no one complains about B-17's at 24k.
