What if the whole HTC office upped in B17 boxes, then flew in a close formation and took some screenshots to show us dreaming buffers, at least it would give us something to drool over ;)
Another note, when I joined AH at day one, I really missed the bomb run setup from WB, it was way to easy in AH, I am really glad they will make it require some skill to actually hit anything now :)

What's that? A group of Imperial Star Destroyers mutilating some hapless X-Wings? Just look at that turbo laser show! Strange that the Empire should have switched to yellow lasers though.

I killed 5 out right and 3 assists in one pass. There 20 plus buffs in this formation. This one here was my second kill.

Big Week was great!
I was one of those B17's and it was definitely great and exiting event.
I hope we do it again with 1.10
:D

Wotan were those b17 pilots having a lunch somewhere?
Because I can't see any way you could survive that kind of 6 pass on an alert gunner.
-
There were so many attackers that as a buff pilot you didnt have time to see all of them. It was totally different than in MA. Also icons showed much shorter range than in MA.
-
HEHEHE.... Notice he said Frenchy was the only one who killed him???
56th FG Rules! :D

Yup frenchy got me with 15 min left last frame. I killed a p38 and a jug and saw i friendly on the deck being chased by another jug on the deck. I was within the ack blancket of a friendly field and had actually dropped my gear. I raised gear hit wep and pursued. I as i raced toward the friendly I knew it was a mistake 4 hi jugs were on us both. I never made it out :( FYI frenchies kill of me tied us both as top killers fer the event :)

I have the films my speed was damn near 500. The buffs were at 25k i was at 32. We knew where the buffs were it took damn near 45 min to get position. I came in from the hi 9 on the formation.
In less then 30 sec of film 5 were ded 3 damaged.
I recieved some pings but the buffs were firing wildly. I was not the only attacker. my squad of 8 engaged as well in 2 4 man groups. Urchin killed 3 and several other guys got kills.
These buffs were level and on a constant heading. The hardest part was getting into a good attack position. The buffs appeared to be in in 3 groups of about 20 a piece. I came in right in the middle from hi 9 and ripped umm. In one end out the other with out a scratch. But ya had to be there rw screaming eng sounds gun fire massive vollies of 88.
2 hour frame but 30 sec of heart thumping palm sweating joy. Most of my guys didnt make it out. A few getting bounced by hi p38s. Me starbird and drago were the only ones that made it out.
That last frame was some of the best fun of any ah scenario.
As i said above I died 1 time in 4 frames with 10 b17s killed 1 p38 and 1 p47. I had 5 assists. In the last 15 min of the last frame the highest scoring Allied ace kills the highest scoring Axis. With that kill the frame ended with a tie between the 2.
