Any interest in a designated bomber ops vox channel?
This would be a place for buff pilots to meet up and work together with any escorts. People could pop in and see if any operations are on or being planned. Channel 129 seems vacant so I nominate that one.
I'll try and put up an operation tonight to get it rolling!
S!
LeMay

sounds good

I suggest utilizing text as much as you can, so players can stay tuned to their normal VOX but still catch 129 text, and decide to tune to 129 VOX if they see a good mission getting planned.

sounds good

I really wish there were more large bomber missions flying around, it's a blast defending (and attacking :devil) a large moving target at 23,000 ft. :D

it is but to bad we dont have strats as a strategic target.....maybe we should let HTC know :rofl :bolt:

Yeah, we should really make another Wishlist thread :rolleyes:

Okay help me out here.
You fly Knights I assume. And you just made a post telling everyone your bombers and their escorts are going to be on channel 129. What am I missing?
:huh

If I were a buff pilot in a huge organized mission I'd say, "BRING 'EM ON!!!"

Just make sure your opponent is wounded and drowning in his own blood first.
Ole.

Just finished our first op in B-29s.
Mission Start: 21:25
Mission End: 23:30
Mission Summary
Six B-29s departed A229 heading south. A singleton formed up with the group south over the water where the first interceptor hit us. and We had constant contact from the bay to the target and back over the mountains to home where we set back down at A222. All seven Superforts hit strategic targets, but there is more work to do and the group will have to go back to finish the job soon. One of my flight suffered a fuel leak, I had some holes in my wings on "Sky Chief" and Redtail lost power to one of his flaps, but we all landed safely thanks to the good people at Boeing and our escort.
Claims
Lemay - 1 Spitfire
W1ldcat! - 1 Spitfire
Redtail - 2 Fw190 of some new high altitude type
Alfamega - 2 Fw190s of same advanced type
Sky Chief Warming up her Wright 3350's.

The Business end of ALFAMEGA fully loaded P-47N.

Getting intercepted en route, it's called Superfortress for a reason! 6 o'clock attack ends badly.

W1ldcat! rendezvous with the formation just in time for some action.

This new experimental 190 will not be available for examination thanks to Redtail :devil

Rain of Iron in the forecast today!

Weatherman is right for once.

Everyone makes it home ok and "Sky Chief" gets a mission bomb and a Jap flag painted on by the crew chief.

Salute! to the friends and foes who made the mission fun!

:salute lemay, that was an awesome run.
Any knights looking for some hi-alt strategic bombing fun, definitely look him and the 444th up. It's worth the 2 hour flight for sure
-
major salute to LeMay for putting the raid together causing some hvy damage to bish strats with a special thanks to alfamega with our escort services killing 2 birds. Great mish

This sounds like a great idea! Every time the Knights get up a head of steam we end up furballing till enemy buffs show up overhead and close our airfield. This is followed by a short halfhearted defense and relocation to another furball. Some buff coordination of our own would be greatly appreciated.
I propose the same concept based on front. A bomber vox and a attack vox would coordinate on the Rook front, likewise for the Bish front. Seems there are alot of ppl who'd like to grab bases but are loathe to coordinate/leave squad vox. A couple weeks back we had a semblance of order and rolled three rook bases in a little over an hour. Nice. In fact, we need a Knight forum to discuss our classified plans :t
Last week we were close to a base capture and someone called for troops, I asked for someone to up a wirble instead of an M3 but...when I spawned I saw 5 M3s around me with no other GV types present. The run failed. Not nice. An ounce of coordination is worth a pound of frustration! :old:

A bit late, but I would recommend channel 229 instead. You will get a much better turnout there :noid

I've set up a sub forum in my 444th forums for Knight only access. To join you have to get registered on the site and I have to add you to the list of people who can view it. Not sure it's the greatest solution, but it's one that I can implement now.
To sign up register here and contact me via pm or in game: http://www.444thbombgroup.com/forum/

This would be a great place for intelligence gathering...... except it's only buff drivers :P
-
good idea :aok
must be plenty of knits who like flying buffs but usually fly alone. we're not exactly the most organised country out there ...
