Kind of bummed not to finish off that jug though.

You should have seen the horde they put up a few minutes ago!

<<<Could'nt get the film to work.. Was only 1 second long... :cry

man that was 1 tuff 47m.

Those hits he took didn't appear to damage him. If my aim didn't suck so bad, could've had double digit kills there. All that red actually made it hard to make out the planes. Maybe I need glasses. :old: Frame rate went to a slide show here and there. I counted at least 35 sets of Lancs in the film. :O

I just checked it TUK, it works. I will email it to you if you can't make it work. Definitely worth watching.

We put up 43 sets to b exact :D
Hope you enjoyed the view

Oh... Lancs. Sorry. Wasn't there.

Ahhh.
The old Million Lancaster Mission. It's always a crowd favorite.

uhhhh.... I just pitched a tent! :O

Great job! Very fun stuff gents.

I hope this doesn't come off as some anti-horde whine, that is not my intent. I'm hoping someone can help me understand why take 43 formations of Lancasters to hit an airfield? Seems to me that is a lot more than you need to completely level the airfield and the town several times over on one pass. The people at the front of the group get to drop some bombs and blow things up but the folks at the back are going to be left with little to do.
Wouldn't it make more sense to take two or more smaller groups and hit multiple targets? Or go for the strats where there are more objects to destroy?
Again I don't mean this as a critique, or complaint I'm just trying to understand the appeal and enjoyment for a lot of the guys that were bringing up the rear.

For fun.
Because it looks cool.
Because guys like me love to encounter these formations.
ad infinitum

A horde of 43 chick16s get tierd quickly but a horde of 129 Lancs is great gameplay in my book, fun all round. Cool to see and awesome to dive into. :aok

The word that may be causing the disconnect is highlighted. Sometimes, it's not supposed to make sense, or be efficient. Wish I'dve been on the defending side for that. Looks like it would've been a lot of fun.

Well, off the top of my head, I can think of a couple. Seeing that many buffs in one place is pretty neat. They also probably would've got to shoot at interceptors as well. Depending on survival rate, perhaps they went on to another base to schwack it as well.

Soulyss remember that B29 mission I'm trying to put together? :D
One of my favorite things is taking up large formations of bombers with the sole purpose of bombing the runway, or carpet bombing a field. The objective is not to pork, close, or capture the field but to just have a good time and watch the WOW factor. Nothing says awesome like 20+ B17s dropping 320 100lbs bombs down a runway. :D

Lord knows I'm always up for a "pointless" mission. :)
Perhaps my mistake this morning was underestimating how many people felt the same way, and I read more into the mission posted in the film than I should of. I had assumed that it was a pork and/or base capture attempt.

I thought it was great. Much better than 25 noe N1Ks. Thanks Bishies. :cheers:

Now if you guys would all sign up for Coral Sea (see my sig for info), with that mind set of purely having fun, it would truly be an intensely fun experience. :cheers:

HOLY CRAKAMONO!!! :O
If someone is to do an AH promotional film, THIS footage needs to be in it!!! :rock
OMG! Awesome! :aok
-
If memory serves me correctly I believe we ran that mission three times in a 24hr. period. Each time the number of buff pilots went up. :O
-
The point was for fun. Chewie posted the first few, I posted one with B-24's, Lancs, Brewsters and Zeros and it turned out to have more joiners.
Besides, if you want to close down a large field with a posted mission, you can't assign hangers to rank and file mission pilots and expect all hangers to go down. So we found that "area" bombing is more effective against a large field. As well as a super fun time.

Something along the lines of what I thought I was going to see when I clicked on this thread:
