Title: HARM - Leningrad is burning!

There's also a bunch of Ju-88s scattered all over the countryside, but we won't talk about that! ;)

Heh, probably some of (if not THE) the best action I've seen yet out of AH! Well organized squads slugging it out, bombers barely getting through to the target (except one that had malfunctions on target..we wont talk about that either ) and making lots of craters. Cons attacking us all the way out of the drop zone. Big to all of the squads that participated. Some of the best I've seen...anywhere!

We snuck under one of the defending flights but I won't mention any names.  (http://www.78th.org/forum/phpbb/images/smiles/icon_twisted.gif)

What you don't see behind them is the 6 LA-5's coming in to bat cleanup!

Enjoyed gents, as always...

That was the most intense flight i've ever had in any sim. It took a good half an hour to stop shaking and get my heartrate back down after that one. Cons chasing us all the way back trying to keep formation and still get defensive fire going. And i can't say enough about that escort. Man you guys deserve a big . The cons even followed us into the field and I've never had to use the guns on the front of a ju88 to defend the bomber in front of me while landing. Oh yeah, sorry about that sideways slide landing/crash thing at the end there Loboxx(my gunner), cons were a bit persistant there at the end.:D

The opposition was to say the least, not hesitant to engage.:D Brutal in fact. to you guys as well.

P.S. I just realized a few minutes ago that i recorded the whole thing from takeoff to slide. This one is definately getting made into a movie. Details to follow, but i should have it finished in a few days. I'll post the link to it and the other Harm Mission i recorded when finished.

I managed to keep up... WOOHOOOO!!!!!

Got a fuel leak and when the yaks started closing I decided to leave the flight and see if I could distract them enough to let you guys get away.  Wound up colliding with Trukjr (sorry about that dude) then gunning for my kten.  I think I would do better with throwing brick out the back than with thos bb guns.  

Had a great time as usual nonetheless.

It was a blast, but as usual best laid plans.......... We were supposed to attack the JU88s with our Yaks and leave the fighters to the LA5 guys. When we made contact both the JU88s and the 109s had alt on us, and the twisting and turning comenced.

I was able to dodge the initial escort onslaught and made contact with the buffs after they had dropped. After getting a few rounds in a JU88 a 109F came along and made me pay for my sins.

I reupped and to my suprise as I'm rolling down the runway at least four formations of JU88s are passing in front of me at tree top level, so the fight was on again. This was a blast the JU88s guns supporting and dodging trees with yaks on their tails. Plus LA5s and 109s showed up as well, it was very intense. It was like the good old days of the AVA.

 Salute all involved.

That was a fun sortie!  Except for the guy who put a cap in my bellybutton as I laid on the runway in a burning heap.
