Had a blast with the likes of VMF-111, VMF-115, VMF-323 and the Polish 308th in our Japanese Jabo last night, a very-well executed and successful mission, with alittle extra credit to boot (A4 and V3 captured)
<S> to all who participated!
Planeset:
N1K's for AAA and Vehicle hangars
A6M5's for CAP
Mitsubishi "Betty" Bombers for FH and BH's(B26)

I had a great time,too.
Although the N1K2 is almost an unknown plane for me, at least from the Pilot's seat, I managed to kill 5 enemy planes (I vulched three,lol).
Definitely I need more vulching skills, for at least two more avoided me on take off (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Thanks for the fun, Ripsnort! Was my first 308th squad nite and I had loads of fun!.
So sad that I had to log off shortly after it, would've loved to fly that tiffie mission you were all talking about.

Scene: MrPluto logging off saying goodbye on Roger Wilco.
Ripsnort says "Goodnight Pluto, and say goodnight to Mickey for us!"
Funked in a great impression of Mickey Mouse: "Goodnight Pluto!"...
Then Roger Wilco becomes a paradise of cartoon voice character impressions.
Had no idea so many of you had hidden talents!

Wasn't me, I can't do Mickey.

Well, after the JapBo mission, A10 was a non-japanese aircraft mission, so I didn't mention it since it was kinda like 'extra credit'...hehe!

I'm afraid I have to take responsibility for Mickey Mouse saying goodbye to Mr. Pluto, and for the feeble 308 sqn Chicken. Bikekilla is the official chicken caller in the squad, and he does his great chicken call everytime we roll on squad night.

The Looney Tunes impressions were a hoot, and the mission both exciting and successful.
As leader of the 3 B-26s(reduced to Salty & MRPLUTO after Beefcake discoed), I'd suggest taking Ju-88s next time. Here are the Ju-88's advantages:
1. Heavier bomb load. Ju-88 has 4x500kg (1,100lb.) and 20x50kg (110lb). This is the equivalent of 2 extra 1000 pound bombs.
2. More perk points.
The glaring disadvantage of the Ju-88 is its fragility & lack of defensive armament. However, by employing overwhelming force and sound tactics, as we did the other night, no enemy fighters even came close to intercepting the B-26s.
Having more bombs to drop would also have kept the B-26 pilots from getting bored after making their 2 passes at the field. This boredom resulted in the B-26s machine gunning an enemy PT boat that was moving south from V3 to A4. Our attack was unsound, and the PT boat got us both, I believe. I'd like to have tried dive bombing that PT boat with a string of 5 50kg bombs with a 0.15 delay from about 2,000 feet. It would have been hard to get him, but you gotta go for it!
50kg bombs are also very useful against flak positions. If there is a delay with the troops, Ju-88s orbiting on station could easily pick them off, allowing fighters to climb and CAP.

Actually, the only reason I had the B26 in the mission is it *looks* like a "Betty Bomber" ... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
-
I think I've gunned more than a couple of PT's w/ my B26.. droppin down on the field and doing some duck and dog hunting after the eggs are gone is great fun with an attack buff. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
