We in II/KG77 will have two lives in Ju 88's and one life in Ju 87's. In Ju 88's, we will be torpedo bombing (which is enormously fun in scenarios -- no 5" is enabled, and autoack is turned down, so you have you chance to get in close) and level bombing.
It runs on starting at 3 pm Eastern on:
March 2, 2013 Frame 1
March 9, 2013: Frame 2
March 16, 2013: Frame 3
March 23, 2013: Frame 4
This is a scenario based on the action around Malta in 1942 (axis hitting Malta and attacking allied shipping). The enemy will have Spit V's, Sea Hurricanes, and F4F's; and our fighters will be mostly Bf 109F's, with a small number of Bf 110C's and C.202's.

If you have never done much torpedo bombing before (it is almost useless in the Main Arena due to strength of auto ack and 5"), don't worry -- I will teach you quickly how to be very effective at it.
I've flown torpedo bombers in ever scenario that has had them, and it is great fun.
Here are some highlights from the scenarios that have had torpedo bombing.

Please contact me now if you are interested -- I want to do my best to make sure my group is full in advance of the scenario.
You don't have to be an expert bomber pilot. I need pilots who will be reliable and show up for each frame.
How about it? Come join me for the upcoming glory! :aok

Hmm... I have a schedule change thingy coming up this month. IF I keep a sat/sun off, then I'll give ya a ring, providing there are still bomber slots open then. But I won't be doing it till either next week, or the week after. So in other words, it'll be 2 weeks at the most before I can tell you if I can be there or not. :bhead
Almost said, "Sign me up!". :lol But I remembered just before replying that I may not get sat/sun off with new schedule. Glad I didn't hit that Post button. :o

Please fill the Ju88s. We'd like every opportunity to replay history :)

Here's some more-recent history for you. We are happy to oblige in repeating this. Don't forget that the Ju 88 is an excellent bomber in 1942. ;)

I won't find out what my schedule will look like for March until next Friday evening, the 15th. :bhead IF there are any bomber slots open after the 15th, providing I get a good schedule, I will WANT the fly the Ju. :x I'm not going to hold my breath though, as it's 9 days away, not including today... :cry
-
As long as it turns out that you can make it and will show up for all of the frames, I'd love to have you in the group.
Here's hoping that your schedule allows it! <S>
-
I still need more bomber pilots to join me.
Folks, don't be shy -- it will be a lot of fun, and I welcome all levels of experience.
-
If I get a chance to walk on I'd be interested in flying buffs.
-
I am interested. I need to verify the dates, but should be aveail for at least most of em

On game day, find me on the radio. Unless we are full -- you can fly with us. :aok

If you can make 3 out of the four frames for sure, let's get you signed up and registered into II/KG77.
-
i will try if you can sign me up

Now, not sure how ANYONE can guarantee that. RL has a way to bite ye on the arse after all. :) Other than that, after I find out if I can be there, you bet your arse I will be there. :aok
And I'm damn well hoping my schedule will allow it! :x :salute
-
So far then:
Volron
Mystic2
Tracerfi
(and B4Buster as walk on)
-
I still need some more bomber pilots who want in on the glory! :aok
-
I still need about 3 more bomber pilots.
Come join me, brave bomber pilots -- March glory approaches! :aok
Who else out there is willing to give it a go?
-
Well, tomorrow be the day and it's looking really good for me. You'll have my answer tomorrow evening. :)
-
If there are any bomber slots left, I'm in. I'll be there for all frames (providing RL doesn't decide to come bite me in the arse of course :)).
