Title: I always hate it when..
Post by: Fencer51 on June 12, 2010, 10:36:44 AM
we run into JG11 in FSO.  It just means that the night is going to end badly for one set of my friends no matter which side wins.

<S> Guys was a fun fight at HQ.  Out of curiosity, did you think the 38s behind us were strikers?
 
Frodo, you owe Hopper a brewski.  ;)

Yeah we did Fencer and it was a kick in the nutz when they dropped fuel tanks to fight us!  It was fun, I think we figured we were up against 4:1 odds?

Salute Ken.

Yes, we believed the 38's were heavies at first site, hence the blowing through your 51's.  What a shock to find out they were lite fighters.  Nice air battle for sure.  Sadly I discoed after blowing the tail off a Mustang.  I missed the Jug attack.

In all, it must have been 45 -55 Allied attackers vrs, 14 brave young Luftwaffe defenders.  Was intense, violent, and fun.

Well there were 8 of us in Mustangs, and I think close to 20 P-38s.  I was hoping that whomever we ran into would think the 38s behind us were strikers.  Made for a neat ambush and although the odds were bad it was a good fight by you guys.  Your HQ should have given you more resources.

Hopper is always saving my bacon, nothing new. I saw the jugs that hit him, just a little late. This pesky B-Pony would not leave my A5 alone.  :D She kept absorbing your 50's like a champ though.

Add the 15 or so P-47s and it was a sea of red for us. Still great fun.  :cheers:

One of the most intense FSO fights I've been in.  Though the odds were stacked against us, I wouldn't have had it any other way.  I actually scraped my belly on the HQ trying to slam a couple of my pursuers into it. :lol

Was a good fight brentlo.  Was low on ammo and was trying to get out while the gettin was good,lol.  Almost did to.  To bad my flap came up 1 notch when I did that loop and hit the water.  My nose was actually starting to point up but just didn't have enough to miss the water.  Almost had ya a few times (dam .50 cals). <S>

Yeaha Dogg I watched the film, and you were just trying to scare them back to the tower.  You made a beautiful move on me!  I know u guys were trying to get home I was so worried about u running that I kept too much power and almost paid for it.  Was getting tired of being brushed off with ur teamwork tactics! <S> was very fun

I wasn't expecting Fencers group to make it all the way to the HQ. I figured that they would get tied up trying to clear a path for the actual strike group around the A78 / City area.

I really should have had them up north with the A33 attack group, we got pummeled!

<S> Axis was a fun frame to CiC.

The 367th detached the LCA's to fly sweep ahead of them rather than close escort.  So we lead the LCA in their 38s by about 7-10k slightly to the south of their path.  The 367th was a sector or so behind us.  We saw only one stray dot go down our right side at the extreme range of visability before the turn N of A42, then nothing until target.  Where we saw about 15 190s who blew through us heading for the 38s.
