Title: Which bomber pilots think that they "have it"?
Post by: Brooke on February 11, 2013, 11:37:14 PM

You?  Do you think that you have it when it comes to bombing?

"Well, unless you've flown bombers in a scenario," says Gunny, "you are a wet-behind-the-ears noob who doesn't know squat!"

If you fall into this category, I can help you.  Indeed, as a scenario veteran, I feel that I *must* help you.  Together we can eliminate the heretofore unknown embarassement of scenario veterans chuckling derisively behind your back as you swagger around the Main Arena in your bomber.

Fly with me in the upcoming scenario in March.  It's 1942, and we in our Ju 88's are going to (in the words of film legend Josh Hartnett) bring the "hammer down!" on enemy airfields and ships on and around Malta.

We are the Knights of the Air.  Come get the right stuff in the Luftwaffe's II/KG77.

Please let me know if you can join us for four Saturday's at 3 pm Eastern, starting March 2.

Come get some of this:

I flew with Brooke's Ju88 group a couple of frames during Tunisia a few years back. It was a great challenge and great fun.

Forgive the low quality, but I even managed to get the better of a P-40 that was trailing our bombers and relaying our location back to interceptors.... Here's a rather low-quality youtube video of me and I think notch finishing him off:

Just thought I'd add a testimonial for Brooke's Bomber Emporium! (TM, patent pending)

Join up today! Brooke doesn't disappoint!

Bombs out while under attack.

Fighting our way out.

Down to one bomber, and that one limping along on one engine, I think I'm a gonner.  But I see Krusty off in the distance.  He slows down at risk to himself to let me join up under his still-intact trio of bombers.

Making it back to base, thanks to Krusty.

<S>, Krusty!

Folks, this is what makes scenarios for bomber pilots.

Come join me in the fun and glory!  :aok
