Those who participated last week. :salute
I will be conducting another high altitude, deep penetration mission into enemy territory. NOTE (This is a mission conceived and led by myself and not any other Arabian Knights.) Direct any questions in the forums or in the MA's to myself. Other AK's will not have any information on these missions other than what is posted in the forums.
Launch Time will be at 8PM EST/7PM CST (US) for B-17's and B-24's
Escort Fighters will launch 30 minutes later by Zoney. He will have a seperate mission going for that. Any questions on fighters should be sent to Zoney in the forums or in the MA's.
Expect the Mission to last at least 2 hours and maybe a full 3 hours. Plan ahead of time to allow your schedule to accomadate. Those who miss the start time, should launch thier aircraft from a close airfield and catch-up. Those who arrive in the Late War Arena too late (hour or more) will have to wait until following week to participate.
Launch Country for 8th AF Mission will be Bishop. Vox channel TBD that night.
I would like to see at least 12 sets of bombers and 2 dozen escort fighters for Week 2. More will be better. Tell your friends to get into the Mission. This will be a weekly event. Let's make it grow. Don't worry about base taking and porking ords and furballing around close inland CV's. Come fly the Unfriendly Skies with 8th AF and Luftwaffe planes of death.
Anyone wanting to head up a Luftwaffe Mission on an opposing country, let me know and details can be worked out.
-
Well TopGun is certainly interested in being part of the escorts, count me in for a 38J.
-
Sounds good Butcher. :salute

I'm hoping to get out of the office in time this week. Last week ended up being a wash as I got hung up at the office.
-
i was with you last time,great time,:)

Gents, :salute, this is a good thing. It is run at altitude and will attract defenders.
Fighters will work together to assure that no attackers make unimpeded passes on our buffs. If you are a new guy and don't think you know enough to do a mission like this, well, this is where you will learn.
Never done one of these missions as a buff pilot ? AKKuya is patient and forgiving and you will learn alot.
Last week, it was all about the mission, not what we were going to close and take and it was immersive and fun.
I know that there is some fairly boring climbouts as we get in position, then we spot bandits and the excitement level goes through the roof. Maybe this could give you just a taste of what it was like for the real men who flew these planes back in the day. Hours of boredom accentuated by moments of sheer terror. Feel a little of what they felt.
Come join us, please.
Thank you,
Z

The margarita machine is running in preparation.
-
Buffs launch in 3.5 hours, escorts in 4 hours and I just learned someone is making Margaritas for us all. Will they be served before we take off, during flight, or after we land.
Please join us.

Fun mission. Bombers got slaughtered but not before I racked a 163, 190D, P51D, and P47M! :devil :rock
:salute all those involved. vLance gets a special shout out for being such a decent sport. :lol

Thanks to all who participated. :salute

Were you out of ammo down on the deck?

Really fun stuff Kuya. We had more participants this week than last and I expect it will be even bigger next week.

Would love to know how many ME-163s launched there at the end... probably more than ever flew in the war hahaha...
<S> for organizing that raid, Kuya!
-
During the raid you could look around and see Maverick, Goose, and Iceman. How fun is that ? We really needed a Jester and a Viper, then I woulda hopped on my ultracool Ninja Sportbike and done wheelies down the runway !
(I've actually done wheelies down airport runways BTW)
TopGun, what a great addition to our world you've all become. Wtg Boner.
-
I counted at least 7 163's that engaged the last of the Bombers.
S! To all who participated and all who engaged us. :cheers: :salute
Zoney my friend I couldn't have done it without TnDep,Joachim,Spek,Google or RedBull.
I cant take all the cred we just like to have fun. :salute
-
We'll stay away from a HQ for awhile until we get more players involved with the 8th AF side. We need at least 25 bomber formations and 50 escorts at least then we can tackle the HQ and handle the onslaught of 163's and 262's.
I'm glad everyone had fun. :D

Yeah, as soon as I saw that conga line of Jetson's planes heading out of A6... enemy or not, I felt bad for you guys.
<S> to the B-24 I saw get to the target (looked like he may have gotten ords out on the Ammo plant before he ate it)
I upped a 110G-2, will probably do that again next week. Was fun.
-

Nope. Just not shooting nose on :)

Ahhhhhhhh, you were the 110. WTFG dude, excellent sportsmanship on your part.

Awwww now, you aren't implying that I HO'd you now are you?
After the merge, on the deck in a 110, I gotta take any shot I can get... sorry if I upset you even more than the 163's did.

I was the 110 over the strats area (I guess there weren't many others?) I know most guys were either in 152s or 163s...
It was really cool just seeing the mega blob of red moving across the map. I thought you guys did pretty damned good, when one considers that you traversed basically the entire arena intact at prime time...
<S>
Looking forward to next week!!

Not upset, just letting you know why you might have thought I was out of ammo. I got auger kills on two of the three others there with ya at the time so it was all good. :aok

Thanks for running the mission Kuya. :aok
Stampf,Hopper, and I upped FW190a8s from Knights and made the journey north to your group. Along the way a group of Rook 190s let us fly unmolested with them to your group. I think we were the first ones to hit you. Big :salute to Dimebag and the Rooks who didn't shoot at us! It was a little unnerving flying in that large group of red. :D One of the good moments for us in this game, and we had fun.

I watched the film and it figures the 190 I latch on to is the D9 and I never did catch him. Pinged him a bit and drove him off, but my 'runstang' couldn't catch his 'run90" :) Shoulda waited for an A8. Thanks to you gents for getting into the spirit of the thing :aok
-
We got one good pass in and then 2 of us had Mustangs all over us. We barely made it out safe, but it was close. Hopper was able to get another pass or two I think, but he got oiled. Great fun. :cheers:

Wow! I had no idea we had both countries there against us. That is so awesome, glad you guys could team up like that. I'm also thinking it is a good thing you all had German Iron against us as requested, otherwise in the heat of battle it would have been pretty easy to shoot down someone you'd just winged up with from the other "friendly" team. Well done guys.
Who is looking forward to next week ? :rock

Hope Yall had fun while I was stuck at the shop. :P
