Soon we're going to have enough escorts to start doing some really sexy stuff, like penetration and withdrawl support, etc.

Welcome 880 Squadron to HARM. :)

Great run last night fellas. Mucho thanks to the escorts who did a fine job of clearing a path in to target and getting us away. The thing I like about this sim is the way the FM (and the way it actually works) allows for a mixed formation of B17's and B24's. If your into big bomber formations, dont miss the next one.

Great stuff you guys are putting up with these buff sorties.

Im thinking it would be great fun to gather as many 109 and 190 pilots as possible for an anti-harm mission. :) We would need to know the target and aprox arrival time or else we would be at a disadvantage in every respect (especially if there is alot of escorts)


Unless you HARM guys prefer milkrunning missions that is ;)

Finding us isn't that hard. Just look for the HUGE red bardar. :lol

Go to the HARM site and register in the forums. Trukk will be more than happy to give you the info on what room we will be flying in. As for the side, we usually fly the stronger of the underdog side. [Last night we where Knights because the Bishops were down to only 5 AFS.]

I doubt he will give you the exact target but its strat runs so its gonna be factories or HQs that we hit. Not to hard to figure out where we are coming in from. It would also be nice if you could organize Luft fighters only since we stick with flying 8th AF planes. Adds to the immersion.

Just holler at us in the HARM forums, Nilsen.

S!

Maybe ill stop by the forums :)

If I could muster a few 190s/109s it could be a great way to practise for combat tour.

Nilsen,

I can provide 4 - 8 Luftwaffe only pilots.  We mix 109 and 190's in our Gruppe.  We've just started participating in Special Events, Snapshots and Squad Ops, and we find this way more fun than the average MA activity, so give a shout if ya want.  We're on 5 115. Knights.

Salute.

Heh, milkruns are not normally a problem, especially if we are not stuck with those crappy pizza maps.

I think we're going to elect Blkmgc as mission photographer.  That's a great screenshot.

Ahem, and I will point out that those are beautiful B-17s in high group to the upper left!

Now if we could just get Dichodog to quit hauling so many beer kegs around, we'd be all set!

Is there such a thing? :D

If you have some group shots of the 17's. Shoot em on over. I'll mix them in. :)

Was great fun last night!  Thank you for having us.  880 has always loved performing the escort role and take it about as serious as ya can in the game.  Look forward to future missions.  And although we didn't mind the slow action to start( gives me plenty of quality time to torture my squaddies) if the Luftwaffe squads can't get their act together :p we would always be willing to provide some opposition if necessary.  But would much rather stick as the escort.

Once again thanks, and we will be there next Sunday

Last night was the quitest mission so far. Of course those 2 ME262s that chased us back to the base were just a little bit late getting to us.

I'm sure there will be ALOT more action in the missions to come.

Post by: Trukk on March 19, 2007, 07:33:19 PM
Yeah we've probably averaged in the first four strat runs, a loss rate of about 30-40%.  Last night was not "average".  Nice to bring all the ships home for a change.  :)

It'd also be nice if the fighter opposition was limited to piston driven types.  I hate flying that far in a nice mission to run into 4-6 163's and 262's.  If its 109's, 110's, and 190's, or any of the other non-German piston planes.

The BDA say's it all. That was a sweet drop and an outstanding mission.
