Title: MA 17 Strat Raids
Post by: CASHEW on August 15, 2014, 01:59:57 AM
Im the maker of the Massive 12 + sets of 17s Bish strat raiders. The ones that get in a massive V formation. Im curious from a serious stand point if Knits or rooks (maybe you) enjoy coming up and trying to get us? We do them because we think they are fun for both sides. If you have any observations/ suggestions give em!! They have been every night this week round 8 western time.  :airplane:  :salute

Love it!  I missed going after tonights but last night I came in a 262 (that I obviously shouldn't have been cleared to fly) and again in a TA152.

I always loved MoMs (Mother of all Missions) that used to run.

Now, some of the fun has been drained away, due to the massive hurt it puts on a country's radar capabilities.  I know this is probably not a HQ strike mission, but there are always those that take advantage of a situation and the result is very poor game play for one country for quite some time.

I like the Scenario feel of those missions, hearing reports of where they were sighted last and prediction of paths.  I dislike the hurt it puts on Radar capabilities for long periods of time (and I believe that you agree that is counter productive of what you were attempting to do = draw in fights).

We tend to rob the Perk bank a bit :) <S>

If you want to survive attack Knights.

If you want a fight attack other countries.

I love them.  I fly as rook and I am a fairly new player and the most fun I had was intercepting you guys in a Ta152  and downing 5 of Ya.  My most memorable AH moment so far

Intercepting raids are so much fun. :)


Usually I'd target escorts first if I can...the bombers can wait :)


Bring more! :banana:

A lot of fun Peanut, After we killed all 3 of your buffs....Which was the Knights biggest mission.....the formation spread apart and got sloppy.

Maybe do 3-4 separate V....think it will help with guinning as well.

The one yesterday looked beautiful with the mix of 17's and 111's, looked sweet. Like a big black cloud in the distance slowly taking shape as I drew closer in my mossy, turning into a mess of red icons.
My pulse quickened and my smile grew wide as I approached knowing it was going to end in certain death for me but I was gonna have a hell of a good time on the way to the tower...

Then just as I approached I was jumped by a spit sitting a few k above the pack. Wound up fighting the spit all the way to the deck and he killed me at tree top level. He was just doing his job but I was gutted that he robbed me of a few fun passes before he jumped lol.

Oh well next time. The highlight for me was shortly into the fight I had the pack straight above me and a tonne of smash so I pointed the nose straight up and plowed straight through the middle of the pack from underneath and blew out the top before reengaging the spit.

Hopefully next time I'll get to play with the pack instead of it fighter cover.. All in all good fun though.

 :salute Beer  :cheers:

It is better to title Main Arena B-17s raid... Because "MA 17" today has quite a different and sad meaning :(

I'm not up on all modern stuff, but I believe he's referring to Malaysian Airlines Flight 17, commonly referred to as MA17.

I enjoy the ability of the wingman function to keep the formations together, although gun positions are a bit more jittery and unstable to defend from. Peanut You may want to start writing down on paper where you place people to cut down on confusion. Always a blast flying/attacking large bomber strikes!

I was thinking of the TV/Film rating "MA-17" myself...

Yep i agree. After we get better with it that will stop happening :)
