I'm very disappointed at the lack of publicity around the fact that the 332nd Flying Mongrels got pack raped by a bunch of IL-2's.
And especially that Daddog got raped in his girly brewster by a hairy russian Il-2 :D
Nightmares would like offer our sympathies and condolences, oh and this:

Not very kind of you to only offer one jar. :lol

Vulcan..... To soon. I digress though I would rather be flying an Il2 than a brewster anyday. Took 5 hard passes to finnally kill my Il2 alone and I was ignoring them for the most part just softening every ground target I could slide my guns over. The fifth pass sawed of my vert stab.
-
We have had better nights to be sure.
Frame 1 was not any better.
Hammering 4x.50's in to IL2's can be a chore. I actually flamed one, but died before he did.
Hoping for some revenge in Frame 3.

You looking for a medal, or a chest to pin it on? :rolleyes:

He's just havin some fun. We all have our turn bent over the vaseline jar.
-
lol, to tell you the truth, it was just a perfect storm for me....every time i turned around there was a guy right in front of me and i just pulled the trigger. When a few guys got on my 6, i sort of just ignored them because they were not doing any damage to me. They ended up breaking off. The IL2 is a BEAST. Anyway, that was the most fun ive had in an FSO in a long time! <S> to everyone involved!
-
I'd be curious what convergence range was being used, as even 4x.50cal should be sufficient to put an Il-2 down with one good pass. Won't be able to rack up 6-7 of them because of the small ammo load in the cowl guns, but IIRC the Brewsters use the same .50cal as the American Iron, and I've never had problems dropping Il-2s even in an FM-2 (as long as I can avoid overshooting because of that stupid rapid pitch-up/pitch-down stick stir maneuver). Then again I rarely fire at anything outside 200yds.
-
I have my convergence set at 275 and will start firing when the icon changes from 400-200. I got one Il2 aiming at his wings then bigr put one big bullet in me and I was done. Thought the brewster could take a hit or 2 before being knocked down. I guess not from whatever the Bigr's Il2 was shooting.

Ain't that the truth. :uhoh
The B-239 isn't fast enough to tackle the Il-2. You need airspeed to stay out of the reach of its 23mm cannons.
-
Well, sometimes you're the bug, and sometimes you're the windshield; sorry if we disappointed you Vulcan. :)
It was an intense few minutes, on this end at least. I'm not sure of the exact numbers but this is what Ghosth and I saw when we got to the field.

So Ghosth and I (plus two other squaddies) dove in on the field, to start the furball at 21 to 4 odds.
So a big <S> to the (+)Precision, Freebird$, and Nightmares, you're NOE attack on A4 was a complete success. I hope we do better next time!
-
I'll admit it was fun to attack with the Nightmares , Freebirds , and us at Precision . We went in together and it paid off . It was a long flight but worth it in the results . Thanks everyone for the fun .
Nutte :salute

Quick question Anaxogoras. Where do you go to get the log showing information from frame two for each pilot.

The IL-2's were all on the deck turning tight, kinda like a big giant thatch weave with 23mm cannons.
And Baumer, I wasn't disappointed in you - I was disappointed in the lack of ribbing.
Some of you guys are soooo serious.
-
Thanks Vulcan, I know you were just giving us a hard time.
I know how it goes, some days you've got mad skillzzz, an others you're just fodder, I can take the ribbing. <S>

Your post gave me a chuckle Vulcan. :aok
I think my reply was a little lack luster because I had just finished dealing with some other FSO unpleasantries behind the scenes. The joys of players who can't mind their manners. ;)
That is an amazing sortie by red959 Tuk. Five IL2's and an I16 in a Brewster. Wow.

Yeah well you know I taught him everything he knows :D
(just kidding, used to fly with red in my MAG-33 days under ripsnort)

Pack-raped..................
By IL2's............................ .....
And by the time you encountered them did your entire squad have no ailerons?

I still have nightmares of the swarm of 120 D3As in frame 1 of Midway...

Sax that many D3A1's would be scary especially if you got saddled by one cause its only a matter of time before the rest hop on then then nibble you to death with their TWO 30 CAL mg's!!
-
Actually, it WAS scary. Especially when you consider there were only ten of US.
