HIYA ERG!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm back..................
Sorry I had to take off a few hours and get some work done, damn boss doesnt know the importance of a good dodge the turdball contest on the AH BBS.
Erg I am sure that there is occasion in this post, where I did not see or comprehend what you were trying to communicate, all that aside, the 109G10 is everything you say it is. I never said it was'nt. Now what I am saying is this.........................
....
Not taking anything away from the bombing raid you guys ran last Thursday. Here are my opinons on what happened. First the 190A8, is a great interceptor if it can catch the buffs. The 109G10 is a great fighter, however it would not be MY first choice to attack bombers. I did get one good pass at your formation from pointblank range the first encounter with your buffs over the North Sea, in a Bf-109G10. However I was clean without the cannon package, and could only manage to damage a B-17. I think you mentioned you went ahead and bailed from it later because it was slowing your formation down.
Okay thats about as good as it gets with a lone 109G10 attacking a good sized formation of buffs, without the extra cannon package or rkts. You guys flew high enough to render the FW-190A8 a non player, not a whine by me, just damn good tactics on the part of you guys, in my opinion.
The real secret to your success was the escorts, thats about the best escort job I've seen by anyone in AW,WB's or AH. Not once did they run off after fleeing LW fighters, and leave the Buff formation at risk. I even mentioned in my AAR to the 27th Sentai, that my hat was off to the Escort pilots. The G10 even if it got close the defensive fire was muderous, again realistic.
For some reason I don't know if it's the times we all fly or what there never seems to be any large commitment of any AH Jagdgeschwaders during our squad nights during ETO's. I wish there was. Many of the guys clawing their way to try and get at the buffs were Allied guys trying to even sides up, whom I appreciate the effort from.
Yes the 262 was only perked for 5 points as Oleg mentioned earlier, but most people are not flying CT every night , and a lot of people logged on that tried to get 262s to at least get at the bombers couldnt, no whine just bad luck. You guys ran a great mission, and achieved your objectives, I assume. Your individual radar icons nevered showed just bar dar, don't know why, dont really care, so we were constantly answering the question where are the buffs?,, while trying to get to your formation. In fact my second hop I stayed very near your buffs for most of the time, I had a 109G10 had the cannons, and was just trying to get an opening in the escort coverage to sneak in and take a swipe.
I decided I was going to have to be paitent so I backed off hoping the escorts would get lazy or make a mistake. I then decided to start trying to vector help to the area, I was giving Oldman the formations location and heading and all the sudden I have tracers all over the sky around my plane. I tried to get the hell outta the way and elude the 3 ponys that had saddled up to my six oclock, and how I missed them I'll never know, but man they came outta nowhere. However I didnt get away Warloc made short work of my 109. I got one more chance at you guys about 30 mins later you were on the way home, I tried for a HO on the buffs but between your defensive fire and Terrors P-51
all I did was give you guys another burning plane to watch.
After that I gave up. It was a great mission you ran, and it was successfull because you used your strentghs against our weakness, thats exactly how a battle should be won, no qualms about it. You used your advantage, now I almost didnt reply to this thread because I thought A: He's joking or B: He's stupid.
I ruled out B, BTW;)
I then thought did he not see the advantage they had the other night, and how well they exploited it?
So I replied in my usual polite manner. Now I never said this was a good matchup we have this week. I did say the Axis have the advantage this week. I also maintain that there is a clear Allied advantage 3 out of 4 set-ups.I also think thats HISTORICAL. Now I can't do anything about the 262 when it's available. If everyboody flew it yes it would be a problem, it's kind of like the Spitfire when it's available you can bet half the people don't like it. I have yet to get a kill in AH in the 262, and I think when I was Allied I was only killed 3 times by 262s, so if I tend to poopoo on the 262 factor it's mainly due to the fact that i usually ignore it if I'm axis, and avoid it if I'm allied.
On the A6m2 I'll agree that I'll never agree with you on it. I'ts kinda the opposite of the Bf-110 for me. I don't have the historic success flying a A6M2, that i should, but I have way too much success flying a Bf-110 than I should.
Now for Gainsie Mr RedTail444
Yes RT and I have a lot in common, thats prob why we like to go at each other, maybe we seperated at birth or something.
You say you guys are pushing my buttons? I'm of the opinion I'm pushing yours!;)
This is PSY OPS BOYS! Both sides sticking till they hit a nerve!:D
Erg I love to post this picture on a thread like this, and it speaks for it'self.
