NOE Lancs and 262's!
Finally got to be apart of those infamous Bish NOE Lanc raids. After successfully taking one of the island bases in my usual ride, my squaddie and I decided to do something new for the next one (bear didn't have enough perks for one because he sucks:p :p ).
Escorting at the front of the pack. Slow enough to keep up with the goon though.

Hiding under the Lancaster's.

The rest of the guys.

Base in sight! Lucky and myself race ahead to see who can get the kill first, I mean protect the bombers.

Sadly he got there first.

Town down and troops running. Total time from beginning: 1 minute, 15ish seconds.
Coming in to land with the ack on me.

Still coming in, now the ack's on them.:D

Had a fun time, thanks for all of the jokes on the long ride bishops, you know who you are. I look forward to some more great times.

It's a new super secret SAPP upgrade. I don't think we're supposed to know about it yet, so don't tell Dan.

Don't we all.:D :cry :cry

Oh and PS, it still has two engines so it's not quite cheating hehe.

Flying low and slow is pretty dangerous in a 262. I have found however, if you keep your speed around 500mph on the deck, nothing can touch your 262.

You can get a lot of proxy kills that way :)

Really?
But where's the fun in that?:)

Donkey didnt think of doing that one before. my and my squadies had a blast last night running bombing missions but only using planes that where ment to escort the bombers we did KI67s with KI84s Lancs with 190D9s and B24s with P-47s

I was thinking about it though, if you're going to a base NOE that already doesn't have a lot of people up, or are not to high (2.5/3K or higher) NOE 262's are actually really nice for CAP, as they can generate E like no other, getting up there above any planes taking off, and with their firepower finish them off with one hit. Really useful actually.:D :D Combine that with the quick hitting power of the lancs, and a few 110's to finish off those remaining buildings, and if you have the goon close (like we did haha, we escorted it to the base) you can get a cap before the alert even goes off on country.

Lancs with D9 escorts? How historical.

No no, it's not my fault! They said it wasn't a big deal and no one would find out! Dan please forgive me! SAPP's all I got:cry :cry :cry I'll tell you what, I'll make it up to you. Let me swap your old blender out for this one. It's got the latest in gyro-stabilizing. It'll stay upright even when you're upside down.:p I know you've been complaining after your landings when you have margaritas on you.

A couple of Hoovers on your wings does not make you untouchable. :D
Dropping a jug from 15K will get you 540-550 for a bit on the deck.....plenty to run down a 262 at cruise. Done it.

Thanks for the TOOLSHEDING Post . :noid :noid

Crims
479th Raiders FG

A pair of C-hogs at 10k would have butchered that raid...
You guys were fortunate no one was waiting...
Wait an minute, that was a Bish raid, right? No enemy of consequence for several sectors, except for that one upper.
My regards,
Widewing

Why such a harsh post WideWing? I don't see why you take it to heart and need to post as if it was a personal attack on you.
I posted this for fun and so people could get a few laughs about the whole idea of taking 262's NOE at low speeds, the complete opposite of what 99% of people flying them do. I didn't post it to show my "l33t" base taking abilities or anything of that nature.

Couldn't you really say that about any NOE mission? I could care less if that happened. I don't play for score, if I did I wouldn't be flying a P-38 with my skill level as a pilot. If someone did show up and ruin the party I would have a few laughs about it and be on my merry way. I join up on the occasional base taking mission to have fun and because I enjoy the teamwork aspect of it, not because I want to win the war.

This is the part that I don't really understand and that I take the most offense to. For one it was one of those bases in the middle of the map (sorry forget the map name) where each country gets one, they are each on their own little island of sorts and are about a few sectors or such apart from each other/and the mainland. I would say they were pretty important bases, so it's not like we attacked some base out in the middle of nowhere. I'm sorry that there were no enemies, I for one would have loved their to be, but that's not something I can or could have helped. Of course I could have yelled on 200 our intentions, but that wouldn't be fair to my other teammates, and that's not something I would do, or I believe that you would do.
I haven't been playing for the Bish for very long. My squad switched to that country one day last week or whatever, and I went along just because those are the guys that I have fun with, and that's all that matters. I don't have a country affiliation or anything like that.
I don't like how it's implied that the Bish, and to some extent myself, are the only ones who would think of NOE'ing to undefended bases just to take that base and "win the war." Perhaps in your experience that's what the Bish have done, but let's be realistic all countries do that. But like I said I just recently switched because of the squad, so I don't know much about the Bish, and frankly I really don't care.
Like I said I don't really understand where you are coming from with this post, and I really hope that it's just a misunderstanding on my part and that you will come in here and clear it up for me, but right now (to me) it doesn't seem like it was one...

Easy there Donkey, no need to give me that look! It's not personal, just poking some fun. Sorry you took it that way.
I'm just ragging on the Bish.. They have demonstrated a remarkable talent for "hittin' 'em where they ain't" ever since I've been playing, and that's a very long time.
Please don't take offense. :aok
My regards,

Alright good lol, I was hoping it was something like that, and no offense taken (hope you will accept my apology for the misunderstanding). I can see how you would think of them like that, I once swore I would never join the Bish (just ask Talon when I had to change to them to wing up with him;) ), but like I said, I was just following the squad.
Good night sir, .

PS: Nice pic:D , looks just like me!
