Corky, you guys are cheating already.
Fencer is supposed to be out here on the forums making comments and ticking people off so I attract the players who want to shoot his butt down! But nooooo, you gotta come on all nice and sweet and stuff. Fine, I'm gonna have Brooke start posting. He's the Nice XO for Axis :neener:
with the registration not yet open, how the group leaders could be already known?
That doesn't seem very fair. Why register when registration is closed? I guess everyone wants to be a 56th FG, why not give everyone the same chance to be in that squad?Everyone likes Jugs :bolt:
Fly Luftwaffe!

And feel like you're flying a very small dog/cat carrier! He looks so cramped that would need Vaseline to extricate himself from the cockpit after the sortie!

Ooooohhhhhhh bringing this one back?!?! I might have to invest in some new hardware, joystick and throttle, and get my account set back up. Flew in the last one as part of the Mighty 8th in B-17's and had an absolute blast!!! This might be worth getting back in the game for!!

So you gonna whine about it or do you want to fly? :)
If you want Axis PM Brooke or ROC, If you want Allied PM myself or Fencer.
We may register as a squad, or at least try....but the event is 6 months away still
In any case I don't like that PM system for registration. Its not very fair to the newcomers or anyone not ready (or not able) to lobby just to get the spot in the squad he wants.
And It makes the automated registration useless.
I don't find teamspeak meetings at 2am very exciting.
Noir....get in there! PM the leaders of either side and let them know your intentions.
Historical fighter groups on both sides need pilots. You are missing the fun we are having behind the scenes.
I couldn't think of 4CMs better then ROC, Brooke, Fencer, or Guppy to create such early excitement and fun.
(well...I could prolly find another at least equal to Fencer...but that's another story for another day..hmmm....I may be be setting the bar low) :rofl

Had to go find the thread with my pics from the first Der Grosse Schlag event. Just looking at them is giving me that "itch" to get back in the virtual air.

End of the whine. We'll contact the CO's when we know what we'll do.
I cant wait to pound Das FatherLand with my 500 lb bombs. Or see the vaunted Luftwaffe get shot to pieces. They got it coming in my book.
Ah, Finally. A man worth killing.
I hate you all. You guys are killin me, can't fly this one and it looks to be the best one ever. Now I gotta see this crap for months, will it never end ?
Woe is me.
Some of you I hate more than others.
It's interesting watching the personalities on these forums.this is the 2nd time in 2 days you have gotten pissy with someone about this event, mabe you need to chill out and understand that not everyone will see things your way or want to follow you in your ways. telling people directly or indirectly to "piss off" wont vote well for you in your quest to have people "join in the fun".
There are people who are proactive, energized, positive, and actually doing something, then there are those who are sitting on the sidelines, waiting until the last minute for some else to do all the work, think they are going to just waltz in and play "pew pew" and think they will have fun all the while complaining about those who have laid the foundation for them in the first place.
hehe, that's so cute.
It's not Fair that a bunch of people are working their collective butts off and you might not get to wait until the last minute and join Noir? Really?
I don't think you understand that this is exactly what has hurt the events the most. Get over it.

not lobby people in walls of text to have the leet ride.
I did not have to lobby at all. A one sentence PM saying I wanted to be in Hajos Jug group and BAM! it happened.
ok I may have exaggerated on the wall of text stuff ^^ hopefully it will be a great event, maybe the me410 will shine there

Quite frankly, registration isn't open yet. People took their own liberty to PM the COs requesting spots after the setup was announced. The CM team isn't getting rid of the registration system. Everyone gets equal opportunity to fly in these events as it is being advertised all over the forum.
People who want to get involved will get involved.

ok!We'll let it slide as long as you fly with us. :)
I must admit that english being my 2nd language I have trouble leading my own verbal battles and cross out as rude most of the time :D.
All Scenario's should be handled this way. DGS II is already a blast...and we haven't even spun wood yet.I spun wood 3 times today

Now, you're gonna make the other pilots jealous or Paranoia!
Also understand that both teams are working their tails off recruiting and doing all kinds of things to make this both fun and interesting. And Im talking about more then just the team CO/XO combos. GLs have been working hard to fill slots and many of the folks involved as pilots are offering their time to contribute to the build up and the history going into this thing.
It's not expected but sure appreciated and encouraged :aok

<------ this guy is tired...not as tired as the lead CMs but the GL's XOs' and OPS Officers are involved in our crew.
Just making lists on rosters, recruiting, BBS name, planning element leads as well as flight leads and wingmen. Trying to figure
out who flies with who. Jug training in some instances...not the MA type but the high alt escort/interceptor role.
And not to mention real life work. This is really a labor of love for a lot of us. Immersion is what can happen when two
serious opposing disciplined crews get together realizing the history behind it, the fun to be had trying to emulate it,
and the men who actually flew and made history. All these things combined equal one thing. FUN!
It sure helps take my mind off of real world problems for awhile. That is what fun is for. This is what DGSII can become!
It's up to all of us.
It is, in the end, our fault if we don't have fun. The tools are here.
Heck... your english is better than mine. :rofl
Of course I'm from Texas. :D
Texas? Texas? The only thing thats in Texas is Ho's and Football players !
(And this is where you reply "Hey man, my Mom's from Texas")
And then I say, "Really? What position does she play?".
:cheers: :bolt:
Hajo where ya going with that jug in your hand?
I'm going to get shot down by an FW Iam,Iam......

Morf!! LOL if its' an A8 it's a wallowing target up there ;)

You'll have more than 1 190 dweeb to deal with up there. Best looking plane of the war.

Noir......we have a spot in the 56th if you want it. You're always welcome along side our bunch you know that.
Just PM me. If you'd rather fly Axis my good friend Stampf is leading JG/11.
No finer group then the gents of JG/11. I'm sure he'd also roll out the red carpet for you!

Flattery will get you...everywhere, Hajo.
We'll give your Jugs a free pass Frame 1, but after that... I'm sorry my friend we'll have to shoot you down.

Better let us go all frames I would hate to shoot down any of you JG11 gents.
Well, considering the low registration numbers the last few events, we are trying something different. Which side have you been flying the last two or three events? Might be time to try something else.
Oh, and no teamspeak meetings lasting hours on the allied side.
Roc likes to hear himself talk, so he might have those.
Oh Hajo, how are your Barmen doing?

To ROCs point when I was gruppe lead (III/54) and Axis XO during Battle Over Germany it was pretty time intensive. The recruiting, attempts at training, then as XO for all of the walk-on assignments, trying to fit requests, etc. The simple game for me was running 5+ hours per scenario of just administrative work attempting to and make it fun times for all. It was a pain but well worth it, which leads to my 50/50 response now. As busy as it is I know to do it right it will be more then showing up 30 minutes before they close the arena. And with as much lead time before this one kicks off a proper gruppe/squad and Axis/Allied leader is going to spend much time training his crew as opposed to wracking up kills in the MA. And my time commitment was minimal compared to those 6-8 sticks who really pulled off BOG.
These events don't just happen, and much kudos to those who make it look easy. <S>
Boo
Here are a few shots that Jagdfliegers have bad dreams of.
The all to often 6 view of a 190 pilot in the skies over Europe.

And finally a Charcoal that I commisioned by Joel Somerset a few years back. Titled "Thunderbolts Playground. (And yes this is right side up)
This happens when 190s and P47s try to share the same sky.....the 190s get wasted! Get out the marshmallows!

I think this makes Mac, ROC's foil :aok
If anything, ROC's piloten would be better described as weapons of mass destruction. :neener:
Evaluating a different data set (the Bestandsmeldungen from early 1942 to December 1944), I have been able to compare the relation between losses through enemy action and other operational losses for the Me 109 and the Fw 190 for all units of the Luftwaffe for the time period in question.
(Data source: Flugzeugbestand und Bewegungsmeldungen, 3.42 - 12.44 )
The results:
Me 109: 9681 losses to enemy action, 8791 other losses - 47.6% of the losses are without enemy action
Fw 190: 5389 losses to enemy action, 4934 other losses - 48.8% of the losses are without enemy action
First course is a round of Tators followed by some slaw (ter). Big Grin
Allies coming to Dinner. First course is a round of Tators followed by some slaw (ter). :D
After dinner Allied pilots will be holding an annual fall Flea market. They received mass quantities of leather goods
imported from Germany 2 for 1 on All Assless Chaps :devil
