Dear Luftwaffe,
Please send more fighters against USMC/71 Sqn. Sending 3 full units did eventually wipe us out, but not before giving us a chance to shoot down about a full squadron before being chopped up :P
If you send a few more squadrons, we might make "top scoring squadron" next frame!
Sincerely,
the USMC/71 Sqn pilots
:t :t :t :t

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl
What he said. hehe haha hohohoooot :lol
Why, if it weren't for them rubber bbs they loaded in my Spit, I'd of accounted for 8 or 10 109's alone... That or I'm just a pee-poor shot. (finished watching the gun films. ...hmm I am a pee-poor shot)
Hehehe Send more, Luftwhiners, or my ghost will cease haunting France and head to Berlin!

We chewed you up and spit you out. Please come back next time.

accounting for 27 of you to a lose of just 2.

Not hard to get high numbers when you own the skies. We took on 3 units alone, and were doing well until the 190s dove in en masse. Them's the breaks, I realize, but we had it handled until that point. Most of your 109s were running for home or totally tied up. I personally put 2 out of the fight and possibly a third. Considering we were in one of the weakest aircraft and scored second only to the AKs (flying typhs and mossies, they were!), I think we chewed you up just as much as you chewed us :aok

I found it funny that only 12 Spitfire Mk IX's were used by the Allies.
While on the same token No Axis pilot flew Bf-109G6's.
Would like to here some reasoning behind both of those decisions.

Being one of the SPit drivers I can only say; Ours was not to reason why. Ours what but to go and fly what the CO said we wuz flying.
Still, 12 vs 40 odds and giving as good as we got is a pretty good warm and fuzzy don't you think?

Yes, Very Fuzzy.
Where do you live in Northern Virginia Odee? My Dad lives in Winchester. I live in WV.

Who were the 3 units you faced?
-
Not sure. We had a full unit of 109s at first. We met them high, we at 25k them slightly higher. We mixed it up with them, shot down quite a few. I know the second group of 109s was another unit because they came in high, in a solid group. They got the radio call and headed toward us. We shot down some of them, some others stayed around. About this time 2 190As showed up with them I think. Kinda foggy on the timing of the arrival of the first 2 190s. Then right at the end (where we all got slaughtered) a solid group of 190s came in with alt and speed.
First 109 group almost done away with = 1 squad, second 109 group = 2 squads, add the 190s and you got 3 squads. That's why I say "3 units"
It was one of the best, most intesnse, fights ever! I wouldn't have traded it for a thing! (except maybe a SpitIX!! heh heh)
-
I think your 2 groups of 109s was actually the one whole of the JV44 in two waves. (checked logs and confirmed it was just the 16 of us ya'll ran into)
I survived, as did 4 of my squaddies. I think we lost 10 to e-fire and took 6 or so of you (then them dern 56th took the rest!)
Good fights from what I hear!

More? You sure about that? Our "full unit" of 9 took 27 of your scalps with 2 losses. Not sure I would want any more of that if I were you. Even so, was fun killing you Krusty :D

well casper and krusty in fog of war.
USMC ran into us first (17)USMC vs (13)JV44, sent out 3 scouts.
USMC had slight alt advantage, and a huge fight ensued, BnZ planes vs turn and burn planes. Was a fun fight, we had fun. we got scattered, trying to avoid gettin tied up in the spithive.

Personally, I went with the conventional wisdom that says the G2 performs better than the G6, especially since I just wanted them to [censored] and only [censored] about the [censored]. Plus, I needed 4 squads to ensure we got our 32 minimum, and I needed the rest in 190's and 110's. There was only one squad that specifically asked for the G6 as their first choice. Most said either/or...

well, the ak's faired well but most of our kills were done with the tiffy's as the mossies were the attackers on the train. The mossies did kill some planes but they were heavly out numbered. I think we had 8 mossies and rest were tiffy's (about 11). We were more on the defense then on the attack. We were only 20-22k. 109's and 190's were 28k+ that dove in on us.

Just wanted to say "thanks" to the axis for granting our request.
:D :D :D :D

Nef 613th were meant to go with G6's and they did after i told them in the SEA. It was due to me typing with a cast on my wrist so i made a typo.
Thanks,
