<<<>>> Bish / Knights was awsome! first the 35 stuka raid on bish, then we actually had 42 people in this B26 mission (thats 42 b26 formations with 8x500lbs loaded, thats 504,000 lbs of bombs dropped on 3 bases and HQ (salvoed 1, and just let all drop).
was some great times, and when i get the film of the stuka raid (i was too low and behind ot get good pics) i will post them.
again <> all, and hope you had fun like we did (heck stang landed 10 kills in a 163 or i believe it was him).
notice Frame Rate in pics LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our first of 8 targets - 95% of the B26's dropped only 1/8 of their ord on this target...

JB73 and all of the JB's!! =)
Thanks for the GREAT MISSIONS!
-
Hmm ... operation Rolling Thunder huh? ;)
Great pics!
-
holy smokes 42!?!?!
to self 42x3=126!!!!!!1
2 fps's welcome to my world JB.
-
hahaha! 2fps :D
I enjoyed the stuka raid. Didn't want to sit in a buff so I grabbed a P51D with Bigmax and proceeded to bag 7 wide eyed 163s, typhoons, and 190s :)
-
Teehee!! I made it into the first screenies!!
And about the 163's....holy god! There were tonnes of them!
163's, 262's, I even saw a 152 during the stuka raid. They must of thought they'd get some easy kills. I know I bagged a couple in each mission, and I'm nearly worthless! So the really good ones probably died aces :)
-
This is about what the Bish see every nite of the week.
I will commend you on the ability to get large groups together.
You guys look like fire ants. :mad:
:aok
-
Really p----- off fire ants packing a half megaton of explosives. Next time, we'll go for the full megaton!
-
Between all the chatter and celebration, I remember hearing Lizard say "We're a nuke!" on vox. I laughed :D
-
well its easy to do this when you have 100 more players...........
oops ;)
looks nice btw :aok

Im a knight and i thought it was fun. Seeing that many b26s low was meat for 163s and 110s.
Why couldnt the stuka raid head to knight land, stukas easier to kill than b26s and dont have to worry about the guns on the stuka compared to the b26.
But my frame rate went down to 5 from 45 when i went into the huge formation.
Question, how did you guys assemble that many in two mission at the same time? Did you have every rook fly in the missions?

Was that your(JBs) flight of 190s my 190 passed on my way to A38 to kill the last of your front line barracks last night?
One of ya started to take off after me then let me go.
Shoulda kept after me. I never exapected to be able to complete my mission(barracks) And was astounded when I not only managed to kill both barracks in only 2 passes but also managed to actually get away ad then land at A32.
Plane ran outa gas just as I rolled to a stop.
Gotta congradulate the Knits on last night.
Considering the Rook numbers which at one time was up to 234 to the knits 130 and under constant heavy attack in the south east corner we only lost a total of 1 base. And that was near the end of the night.
I know I killed barracks at at least 3 bases several times
Thanks to those who also helped keep em down.
One of my more interesting flights was when I jumped a group of about 10 ponies headed to 33 by myself. Saw about half of em dump ord. Nailed two of em then on egress spotted a flight of Lancs and nailed all 3 of them.
Running like mad with a pony and another plane hot on my 6 loosing fuel I finally made it to the base for help where another knight cleared my 6.
My engine then ran outa gas so I tried to glide in to the airfeild. but just didnt have enough speed and I ended up ditching about 30 yards short

yeah that us earlier... figured whoever it was saw all the 190's (and the 110's a bit farther to the west) and said no way LOL.
yeah Mak .. i just didnt have any screenies to put up, got film being emailed to me and i'll work from there.
42 bombers in the mission wasn't even 1/4 of the rooks. why didn't we split it up? what's more impressive to see, tow small missions or the biggest bomber formation in AH MA ever?
next time we do the stuka raid it will be 50 minium i think. b26 probably could reach 60-70 on a good night too.

504,000 lbs = 257 tons
its still a lot of bombs though
just nitpickin

Stuka's are not easier to kill. On our stuka run of 30+ guys we had every plane make it to the HQ. The 163's couldnt control their speed enough to hit the 87's. The max speed at 14K with those things is like 180mph fully loaded. In reality we lost more planes trying to make it to HQ in 26's than we did with the stukas =)

Oh Man, Thats some cool Pics guys!
Thanks for Sharing.

Was great gentlemen!
I was getting ready to log, up on my last flight when I saw all the dots in the distance.
If not for the frame rate drop I think I’d had more of ya with my 51 ;), but alas only 2 before I was raked.
I jumped in the 262 to get back up quickly and bagged 4 more. I was able to land, both engines smoking, missing some controls, and all out of amo.
Rooks, most of you kept a good tight formation. It was hard to get in without taking any hits. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was a great way to end the night.
Damn frame rates! Was a reminder of Rips memorial day goon drop a year or so ago.
Loved it!

Naa I had other more important plans like killing off that last frontline feild with troops still available
Had I not had other plans, the numbers wouldnt have stopped me from inning on ya
I figure at worst if I can live long enough I can drag a bunch of ya's lower and maybe buy some time for the people behind me.
Saw the 110's but never got an ID on them. Looked like bomber formations to me and radioed them in as such.
-
Now see there are some GREAT targets for a well placed group of buff hunting alt monkeys.
I wonder how many are actually loaded with gunners. ;-)
Just passin and making good hits with cannons to drain their fuel would have discusted a quite a few in that raid. One good pass could have started draining 10 ac of fuel, they are so close all you'd have to do is rake em, sorta.
OTOH looks like great fun, and low FPS....
Reminds me of Longbow. But it also resembles the Rollin Thunder raid.

Well, let's hope that TOD doesn't allow "autotakeoff enabled" capabilities.

actually i got the date wrong.. it was sunday night.
filling the mission took about 3 minutes. serious.
we had done the Stuka raid just prior, had about 35 then.
they all just followed along to the b26 raid.
it was a blast. in the stukas we never got above 14k, in the 26's we leveled at 10k just safety in numbers LOL.
IIRC there were 42 b26 formations in the raid and i did not hear of a single one that lost a drone on takeoff.
we did a GV mission right after too, about 55 people all spawned at once in GV's LOL
