I've glanced through the groups and was wondering if there were any squads that were dedicated to B-17G heavy bombing?
-
Hi Shade,
It's a squeak being homeless, huh?
Nope, no dedicated HBGs that I know of.
The Dickweed Heavy Bomb Group was here awhile back but regained their sanity and left.
I had some bomber guys and they found fighters and never looked back.
There are sometimes large bomber missions but they are usually flown by whoever is in possession of the ultra realistic A1.
I thought of starting a Bombers only squad but why bother, no one wants to escort and if you get above 20k all the fighter guys start cryin' cause it takes em too long to get up there and shoot ya down with their anything but Axis airplane.
When some of the terrain guys get something going or HTC decides to add some historical terrain there may be a reason to try something.
As the main stands now it is sorta like flying in Alices' Wonderland.
BUT, if anyone wants to join we can grab some B17s and fly over the furballs and bomb strictly strategic targets, if I never bomb another airfield I will be happy.
With the demise of B17-2 there might be a few bomber pilots looking for a home so now might be a good time to see if there is room in Wonderland for a dedicated HBG.
Got any ideas?
I am and will remain Knight, hopping countries isn't my thing.

When did they put this thing in here and WTF is it for?

I thought I might run into you! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Well, I'm thinking since the B-17 II crap went down the toilet, I'm thinking sadly that the v91st and everyone may become several splinter groups. It may not be a bad idea to test the waters and see what we can do. What do you think? we should probably continue this conversation via Email.

If anybody ever wants to start an RAF bomber squadron, 308 will be there to escort you.

Goldie, how many times have I told you guys that I don't want no horsing around on the airplane... Now let's get this thing on the hump -- we got some flyin' to do!
-
Really?..well, well, well...see there, chaser?....you and I baby,..WE can get things DONE!
Thanks funked,...I don't think you quite realize the ray of light you've given us. We will most assuredly contact you and your group.

Shade,
The 99th "Raging Rooks" while not primarily a buff squadron, does do many buff missions.
We are aspiring to be a complete strike package squadron, buffs, fighters, and c47's
for field captures.
We always have a place for buff drivers (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

The Dickweed Heavy Bomber Group was a great squad here, mostly real aviation guys.
I think they left AH to saty with WBS due to B17 model issue/problems/disagreements.
I can only speculate, but with the awsome firepower of the Buffs now, and addition of the new Bombers in 1.04, they will be back.
I sure hope so.
-
Thanks Funked, the offer is appreciated.

Sun,
Ask any Red Dragon online anytime and you shall have escort. We are always happy to do any role that our country needs ! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Ripsnort and VMF-323, thank you.
I pity those who run into your guys and hope we get some realistic terrain for them to fight in soon..
I made the SEA deal last night and it was good, hope to make many more of them.
Rocket and Red Dragons, thank you also and I will do just that if I can get enough guys in bombers to make it worth your outfits time.
I hate to ask for long boring escort if only a couple of bombers are going and that is usually the case.
We try to pick up escort on the way but that seldom works.
We Knight Bombers will soon get our act together, I hope.

Sun,
The Musketeer Escadrille would be happy to escort you and probably throw in a couple of buff drivers also!
If you ever get the chance, come on over to Rook and look me up when I'm online.

If you're ever on the knights and want an escort, throw me a line and if I'm not allready commited to another sortie I'll be more than happy to hop in my trusty P-51 and fly some escort.
-
Thank you all, we are trying to get our bombers together and see if we can survive in the main.
So far it is slow going but others are working on it besides me now so something may actually happen.
We will keep you posted.

I've only begun in AH, but have been into simulations since 1988. With the demise of MP B17 II, I'm into an RAF bomber squadron. Have some personal history here since my father retired RCAF in 1983.
I have a good friend, also Canadian, who is also interested in flying.
We do have specific ideas about this though. We are both looking for committed gunners to fly onboard (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) And we do want committed escort.
btw, I think we'll go for the Rooks or the Bishops. Looks like the Knights don't need that much help (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

<S> Sir,
The *V* DEVILS REJECTS *V* Combat Group has a Bomber Squadron. We also have our own Fighter Squadron and Navy/Marine Special Forces Unit. You can fly your bomber anytime with the backing of a 32+ member roster to back you up. We are a "Base Taking" Group that has a rank structure and an incentive to achieve Medals. We fly as KNIGHTS and we will not switch sides. The Bomber Squadron has two (2) Flights...CHARLIE FLIGHT and DELTA FLIGHT. So, If Bomber Missions is what you like, then jump on in....be a part of the "Bomber Horde".

In case you failed to notice the two post above yours, Mr BaseTaker Sir (working toward a medal), its a 9 year old thread.

This thread is older than me.

Well, so it is 9 years old.....well, now it is updated.

its a 9 year old thread.
Never would've guessed, not being sarcastic. I never look at the date unless someone mentions it.
-
Well, so it is 9 years old.....well, now it is updated.
Fail. I would just stop trying.

Well, so it is 9 years old.....well, now it is updated.
Well.... so? Refer to Master Skuzzy's rules of BBS posting. I broke one just by telling you this.

Yes and said person does not have an account here anymore. :rolleyes:

I switch even though almost nobody else in my squad does. Just admit it if ya do it. Its good when #'s are outta whack.
Didn't ya'll switch last month? Hmm. lemme see if i can find it...
So, since I inspired you to write this thread, and accuse me of taking your fun away, I am going to take my KNIGHT Squad to the Bishops so You can "Furball" with the Rooks without the fear or worry that I will come bomb all the hangers down and ruin your fun. "That is all I have to say about that." quote Forrest Gump

and then after that didn't work out you wrote something else...
Yesterday, TT, I changed countrys to the Bish side. I wanted to "Test the waters" so to speak. To see if me and my squad would be welcomed before I brought my men over. Well, I got a most rude reception. I dont know if it is because of this thread or not. But anyway....I decided to go to the Rook side. On the Rook side, I recieved a nice welcome. However; when I planned a mission with my 3 other bomber squadees to take a base, away from a furball , I also asked on country for the help of 2 pilots. A 110 pilot and a C-47 pilot. Now when I only have 4 guys on in my squad, and we try to take a base, and I ask for the help of my countrymen and dont get any help, I have to "Bail" from my bomber to bring back what I need to hopefully take that base. You will NEVER see me bailing out of a plane when there is an enemy on my six or close to me.
And I'm not even gonna go further than to highlight the "Never bail" statement. :noid
Just sayin :aok

Look at the date of these quotes.....you have them in reverse order. Is that in the hopes that nobody will notice the dates and say that I speak with a "Forked" tongue? And the bailout quote......there wasn't anyone on my six when I bail out to help capture a base when I have low numbers. And you flaming my thread.....you must get off trying to down other countrymen like you did in my other thread. Why dont you be a Officer and a Gentlemen and act like a man and talk to me one on one? There is something called a PM text and a PM Vox. Dont be affraid to ask for a moment to speak with me. I put my pants on one leg at a time just like you do. :salute
