 Is it only A1? Or any base that has the approriate calibre (and which calibre would that be? 90mm, 88mm, 105mm?) ?
 Thanks!

The flak is incredibly awesome!  Talk about immersion!  Took 4 B17's to Bish HQ, Drill, Mox, Tripper and myself.  Close formation, I was lead, and alittle low, so ack puffed at me first.  I took a hit right after bombs gone first run, so I jinxed, after extending about 4-6 miles, ack stopped.  Reversed and make second run, Tripper lost an engine, I recieved more hits, but no substantial damage.  Was too friggin' cool!

It's only at the multiple runway airfields I think. It's meant to be 88mm.

I was surprised when that flak started exploding around us.. it was awesome!  I was 90 away from Rip when we dropped and I could see flak above me, below me, and between us, it was a nice pucker factor!

I never got any damage from the Flak on that run, so I continued to fly through it (3 times I think) and still no damage, then I got dumped to the desktop.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

Rip, I think I recorded that flight, I'll check but and see, might be some really good shots of the flak.

Mox, I didn't film it, would appreciate it if you send me some screen captures from it, then I will use it in the JG2 July newsletter.  Thanks!
