Completely unscripted, and totally unexpected, JG11 and the 353rd collided over the channel tonight. It was massive. It was chaos. It was war. And it was FUN! I do believe the nod goes to JG11 for total kills, however, the 353rd stopped you from whatever nefarious deeds you were up too. England was saved. And again there was much rejoicing. :rock
We look forward to tossing BB's at you again soon, (while you lob potatos back at us)
THIS is why the AvA is fun, all faults aside. Anyone who says something different is selling something.
:salute

Hehe...
Me one squad forum; hey, we dont have FSO tonight, how about we hit London?
Stampf; IN.
:lol
I beleive the fight your referring to was when we were trying to get the bombers back home (surprisingly, most of them made it). Had a good time escorting the Schnellbombers over target, then getting PW'ded and ditching in some feild in England...

JG 11. You guys did what BoB should be like. German bombers with escort to bomb RAF bases and London while RAF spit and hurr intercept. A class act of historic event. Thanks
-
:salute much fun!
too bad had to ditch my remaining 88's in the channel with 3 kills.
<S> goes out to ZUD for making sure i got home. :salute

Nice pics Bubi.
I believe I may be the Spit you nailed in the first combat picture.
The raid was excellent as well as the big furball over the channel after that. Stampf you guys have built a very talented Jagdgeschwader in a short amount of time.
I'm glad you guys are flying the AVA

Agreed

Now that felt like the BoB to me. It was so realistic the way the escorts and interceptors fought a running battle along the stream. I am glad everyone on both sides enjoyed it, that was the intent. I thank Bubi for suggesting a target like London, and not just another base capture.
Thank you Shifty. The core group have been together for 2.5 yrs now. We have recently gone through a population explosion and are just beginning to see some of that polish again, that we are used to. It takes time with a larger group. I have been very lucky to have not only some of the nicest guys come into the 11th, but also some very talented veteran players who have helped me immeasurably, in the training and organization of the unit. To take pride in anything game related seems a bit absurd, but I am indeed, very proud of this Geschwader.
Thanks for that Shifty, and TheBug as we are also glad to be there, and happy to face off with the 353rd, regularly. :salute

:salute Fencer, for making me hurry the attack on 10thMD! Your 109 escorting was admirable.

Bubi covered the pictures of the fighter v fighter. Ill cover the bombing pictures.

Oh well he is out of the fight anyways.
:salute goes out to the 11th and the 353rd that made that a very fun mission.
-
:( Dang I got to check the squad boards more I missed all the fun! Great pics guys :salute
-
yea it was real fun.
-
That looks like great fun... but how often does it occur? If that sort of thing were a nightly event, I'd all but abandon the MA and drive Emil's full time.
-
it was a squad mission. However you are welcome to fly with us.
FYI. Emils out already, 109 F's and 190 A5s.
-
Nice reports guys, thanks, sorry I missed the fun.
-
sorry i missed this.
this is what makes me want to fly in the AvA, no ACK hugging involved
-
Great screenshots!

May very well take you up on the first offer.
Flew one sortie in an A5 last night. Should have checked burn multiplier, first. ;)

We welcome anyone to fly with us that are committed to axis.
You can find us on channel 115. :aok

Depends on the atachment. If you mean pictures... 2nd Row 1st Icon when composing/editing messages Is good idea to have a site host the pic so you can just copy the IMG link and paste it in the message.

There goes the siren that warns off the air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne
Got to get up for the coming attack.
Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
Remove all the wheel blocks
there's no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Gotta get airborne before it's too late
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high
Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away
Roll over, spin round and come in behind them
Move to their blindsides and firing again
Bandits at 8 o'clock move in behind us
Ten ME-109's out of the sun
Ascending and turning out spitfires to face them
Heading straight for them I press my guns.
Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving, goin' again
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high.
...just saying. :t

<feet up, smiling, cold beer>, and should be read as such...
In my gunsights, shame on you, in your gunsights, shame on me... Ya know, if we had player icons in red, in addition to or instead of plane types, that would not be an issue between you or I sir. But then again, your boys would be running alot more than now even... :D But...such is life. We can only expect that which we experience, and like you, sometimes I just can't afford to be shot down. And we both are accountable for the actions of our own komrads in that respect. I know you, as a fellow kommandeur understand that.
PM works great for a private fight, btw. You can only be killed by the same guys so much before you get miffed. I am sure you are feeling badly. :lol
Bummer the arena was down tonight.
See ya up. :aok

Well ain't that the truth.
Incase you didn't notice, the song is written from the point of view of the British Spitfire pilot...
So, yeah, I guess your right :P

I'm definitely right if I'm the guy in the Spitfire. You boys have set the bar. Couple notches lower than I like, but most definitely been set.
Your apparent mis-comprehension that this is about winning and losing is a sure sign of the reasons these "tactics" permeate your squad.

A thread started praising the group for running a historcial based mission that had NO impact on the war whatsoever, and full of good positive fun from both sides until that little comment of yours bug. WTG, you do fit right in here with the other keyboard warriors sir. You reap what you sew. I'm refraining from typing what I really want to say here, instead, we will just keep mopping the arena up with your sorry butts. And you must be blind if you think JG11 gives a hoot about the "winning" anything. We play for the kill, as you know better than anyone.
My regards,

Stop the stick stirring and I'll be happy, no matter how many times you kill me tough guy.
-
hey tom do you think you might want to lay off of the JG11 guys? I mean if they are doing what you say it would be doing the same thing you guys do. the only difference I could think of is that they are probably not up at 25k as you most likely are.
-
You first.

i bid farewell to this thread. A thread started like stampf has stated to praise the men of a fun night, but had turned into an outlet of whining.
I bid farewell wiith a heavy heart for i was looking forward to more AAR's and great screenies from future fights we might have. However i see that isnt the case anymore.
:salute and farewell.

So you are saying to make things a little better around here I should just accept your squads propensity for stick stirring and blatant HOs and not comment on it? If you are in agreement I am fine with that and you will no longer here a peep from me.
P.S. Follow Bubi's lead, he's not a stick-stirrer.

Everything ok Odee?? Or do you need help quitting something?

How can we be at 25K and still be hugging ack?? We're accussed of that as well?

my experience with these guys (880, 325th et al) going back to 2003 is that they are taught and firmly believe that "if I ain't fightin' I's a climbin' " since most of the AvA squads were started by jester and lowe (shifty) and I was in three of those squads I'm very familiar with the method of training and of gameplay.
you guys start out by getting far higher than any fight will ever possibly be so you can repeatedly dive in for the pick. the newer guys usually end up lower because they blow their E, can't fight very well and are now bait for your illustrious leaders. in the meantime your fearless leaders are leisurely circling above and getting picks.
the minute any one of them loses the advantage they unhesitatingly run to ack. double that for thebug if he even sniffs an equal fight he's all elbows and tailpipe. I personally have never ever ever seen thebug fight in five years of playing this game. this type of play only produces someone who can shoot well but not much else. the reason you guys are awful players because you choose to be, the method of play you employ appeals to the weak and lazy. you are always in the easiest and or fastest planes, you are always far above the fight, you are always in a horde and you are never far from your ack. if any one of the first three elements are missing then you run to number four.
the funniest thing is that through the years your leaders have claimed that they are playing for "historical accuracy" and that rationalization always makes me chuckle but to each his own.
I'll bet that you personally could not beat one of our trainees in a 1v1 and you would be hard pressed to win a 2v1 with another one of your newer squad mates against anyone of our feldwebels.
just saying.
-
You don't need a preparatory bombardment Storch, you can just come back. It'll be ok.
-
sorry thebug I'm not coming back any time soon. the way the game is being played in there currently has no appeal to me what so ever. that does not mean I won't snipe from the fringes here on the BBS if I get the opportunity or if someone poses a question directed at me.
I am hopeful that this phase will pass in the next few months and something else will arise from the ashes of this experiment.
I think eagler's post on this topic in another thread is spot on. the medals are silly and the appeal seems to be to the younger players. while there is nothing inherently wrong with this it is not something that I wish to employ my discreationary time at.
-
I still think it's sweet how you came to the aid of the damsel in distress, JG11. You're such a romantic.

What he has described here is exactly the truth.That is how those squads like to roll.I was a witness to this again last night when the FB/68th was in there.While my people were down and dirty fighting in the weeds they all hung out above the fight in spitfires waiting for one of the Axis players to not be looking.
Storch is kinda like Alice Cooper in a way, sometimes he says funny & true things, but his music " SUCKS "!

While I admire your cartoon plane skills along with those of most of your squadron. Your writing style and accuracy could be better put to use by the Clinton campaign. Your descriptions while accurate for 2003/2005, hold no water now . Execpt of course the one night you flew Allied in the F4U4 flying much higher than any of us accused astronauts. Next you'll be talking about sniper fire while you were delivering soap one afternoon. Storch when you garner hero worship from the likes of Toddblohung... It's time to cook with a little less BS. ;)
