Title: There is Something Exciting Brewing - Shameless Plug for BOWL!
Post by: -ammo- on November 27, 2014, 08:15:22 AM
Folks,

The AH Events crew has prepared a great special event for the month of January and you will be missing out on the best the game has to offer by ignoring it.

Special events add a level of intensity and immersion that cannot be found in the main arenas.  It is my personal favorite part of this wonderful past time and I encourage every subscribing member to take part.  The more participants - the better the event!

This event is featured on the MTO battlefront in 1944 and features B-17s, B-24, B-26, P-47, P-38, and P-51B for the Allies.  The Axis get 109G, 190A, 190F, and 110/410.

You can choose either side per your taste, but suggest you pick a P-47 on the winning side :bolt:

You can RBI (read bout it) here: http://www.ahevents.org/events/scenarios/current-or-next-scenario.html

Please...

The Allies have been weighed, they have been measured, and have been found wanting...

See us again when you are worthy.

Speaking of measurements, you Axis boys might get a few more joiners if you took a little more care for the comfort and convenience of your pilots. While you poor fellers are spending Sunday afternoons squeezed into your teensy little VW Bug clown car planes the Allied pilots will be enjoying the comforts of cockpits in which the kindly engineers at Republic, Boeing, and Consolidated were considerate enough to leave plenty of room for a swiveling recliner chair, a beer cooler, and a couple of NFL cheerleaders. Now that's the way to fly!  :banana:

But seriously, this is going to be awesome for both sides. Just, slightly more awesome for the winning (Allied) side.

Imagine, if you will just for a moment.  It's a beautiful albeit chilly morning as you fire up your P47 and line up for takeoff on the runway.  You can smell the hot oil as your engine comes up in temperature............your mechanics in their stained coveralls, wipe their hands off as you begin to throttle up for take-off.  As you hear the "thump'thump-thump" from the tires rolling over the tarmac expansion joints, you have no idea, absolutely no clue, that this is your last day on the planet.  Your squad mates won't have a chance to raise their glasses in a toast as they will all be dead too.

The Luftwaffe will be having wine and cavier, and we sir, shall raise a glass to you and your mates as we wish you a fond farewell and blue skies.

Well, technically, only those that don't fly this event will lose.  It's just that the Allied will be denied the ability to land.  I shall endeavor to help them to lose alt rapidly.  Without control of the descent.

The following is an excerpt from the book, Thunderbolt!, by Robert S. Johnson

Two days later, on October tenth, the Group was assigned to provide withdrawal support for 132 heavy bombers attacking the marshalling yards at Münster. Again I found myself in a crippled airplane, in a sky swarming with German fighters. Our briefing took place at six in the morning, when we learned that we would pick up the bombers just as they swung away from the targets, the most likely time for a massed fighter attack.

The Germans didn’t miss a trick. We sighted the Big Friends west of the smoking city, suffering badly from savage mauling by a great number of single and twin-engine fighters.  The moment the Fortresses hove into view we jettisoned our belly tanks.  Someone shouted, “Forty bandits! Seven o’clock to the bombers, same level! Shaker Three, Out.” A swarm of German fighters raced at the Big Friends, noses and wings flaming as their cannon and machine guns tore into the Fortresses.

Not a second to waste!  Jerry Johnson’s fighter rolled, dove under full power.  This time it was our turn to bounce.  At 30,000 feet, the sun directly behind us, we plunged from on high in a perfect attack, hidden from the Krauts, who could only see the glaring sun instead of our planes.  Unknown to me, Bill Grovesnor, my wingman, no longer covered me.  Something happened to his plane; he lost power and was forced to abort the mission.  Only I never heard his radio call as he turned and left the formation in his crippled plane – which meant my diving into battle, convinced I was being covered by a wingman who was no longer there!

October 10, 1943; fifteen years ago.  Again it is possible to slip back into time, to remember the moments of combat as if they were only yesterday, beginning with a Thunderbolt wing lifting up, rolling, gleaming in the sun, diving… g-forces pulling the skin tightly across my body.

Jerry Johnson rips after a Focke-Wulf, smoke streaming from each wing as his guns rip out short bursts.  Bullets flashing through the air, magic leaps across space as they seek out the black crosses.  Immediately a second FW-190 tears in, skidding into firing position.  A wingman, frantic to protect his pilot.  I turn into the fighter, throttle, rudder, stick controls moving almost by themselves.  This German has no heart for a fight; the Focke-Wulf flicks like a sunburst, rolls into a dive and plunges for earth.  The sky is filled with German fighters – targets everywhere! I forget the FW-190 running for safety, pull the Thunderbolt back up and around.  Where the devil is Jerry Johnson?  I swivel my head; he’s nowhere in sight.  But the sky swarms with German fighters.  Got to hit’em – take them off the bombers.  There to my left – a Messerschmitt Me-110, escorted by two Focke-Wulfs. All three planes in a long shallow dive for the bombers, waiting to get into range for the Me-110 to lob its rockets.

Got to break them up, get in there fast.  I kick the rudder, my left hand shoves the throttle to the firewall as I select one of the Focke-Wulfs.  Both escort fighters see me; their pilots jerk up suddenly, whip the agile Focke-Wulfs into steep climbs.  To hell with them.  I line up on the Messerschmitt, fat and juicy in the sights.  He tries to evade, twists and turns; my bullets flash into the big twin-engine fighter. I kick rudder, the eight fifties whipsaw back and forth across the fleeing airplane.  The rear canopy dissolves in a spray of glass and metal, the gunner flings up his arms, collapses like a rag doll.

Hits all over the airplane; I know what the feeling is like!  The pilot is desperate.  He flings the airplane about, suddenly snaps the Messerschmitt hard over to the left.  No good!  My foot slams down on the rudder, easy on the stick, and the Thunderbolt skids cleanly.  Now – roll!  The P-47 responds like a thoroughbred, flicks around.  Controls back, a sharp turn and the eight guns loom broadside to the target. One short burst, eight streams of bullets converge, and the Me-110 tears apart.  I am so close the Thunderbolt shakes from the violent explosion.  I hear sharp banging noises, the thud of pieces of metal striking my airplane.  Debris from the Me-110, a cloud of smoke, flame and shattered airplane through which I plunge.

I haul back on the stick, throttle forward, trying for altitude.  And only now do I notice that big empty space to my right and behind me – no wingman.  At least I’m not alone.  German fighters and rocket launchers fill the sky.  Every-where I look I see the Focke-Wulf FW-190’s, Messerschmitt Me109’s, Me-110’s, the new Me-210’s, and small groups of Junkers Ju-88’s.  They attack the bombers in a constant stream, diving, rolling slowly through the formations, disdainful of the hail of tracers flashing at them. Their own guns and cannon sparkle almost constantly; every few seconds long gouts of flame leap ahead of the twin-engine airplanes as rockets spin for the formations.  It is a macabre sight, for there is other flame in the sky.  Splashes of fire twisting and dropping to earth, fighters and bombers torn apart.  Parachutes blossoming into being, tiny and white against the blue sky smeared with fire and whirling black dots and long, ugly streamers of smoke.  Fighters everywhere; a half-dozen flights dive past me on my left, lunging for the harassed bombers.  Not a man sights me; they look intently to their rear, alert for another bounce of Thunderbolts from the sun.

Three Focke-Wulfs, closer, coming in hard and fast.  I spot them rushing for the rear of the bomber formations, several thousand feet below.  I am the only fighter between them and the Big Friends.  Good enough!  I apply hard left stick, work easily on the left rudder.  The Jug winds up like a banshee and hurtles to intercept the three enemy fighters.  At our tremendous speed, I have little hope of scoring any hits, but I can break up their attack, keep them away from the Fortresses.

These boys want to fight!  The Thunderbolt drops in a steep dive when one of the Focke-Wulfs breaks formation.  The swift fighter zooms up in a steep, climbing turn, racing to intercept me, to leave the other two FW-190’s free to press their attack.  I watch him from the corner of my eye.  For some silly reason I am convinced that he can’t hit me in the dive.  I continue pushing forward on the stick, steepening the dive.  Eighty degrees, then 90, full vertical!  Still I keep the stick moving forward, pushing over as in an outside loop while I open fire.  The noise dips under the vertical; I want to keep my stream of bullets far enough ahead to hit the leader.  It is almost a 90-degree deflection shot.

I make every move carefully, quickly, increasing the lead, just the right lead, the gentle trigger squeeze.  The guns thunder, chatter, roar, all sounds at once.  The wings flash scarlet and orange and fire.  White flashes appear all over the German fighter, dancing motes of brilliance; the cockpit shatters, and the intense glare, the beginning of the explosion as the fuel tanks shred, begin their eruption into flame. 

No time to watch!  An explosion smashes at the Thunderbolt, the diving fighter lurches.  That climbing fighter…. Four cannon hammering.  The Focke-Wulf rushes in.  A 20 mm. cannon shell tears through the metal tail as if it were butter, snaps the rudder cable.  I almost stand on the left rudder.  The Thunderbolt fights to roll.  A flash before my face; not ten feet from the cockpit, mushrooming fire, the jerky motion of a body exploding outward.  My target, the lead Focke-Wulf; vanished.

LOL that first picture cracked me up.  I've never quite visualized Stampf looking like that, and he doesn't BTW.  Also if I may be so bold, Stampf would never say "I have JG11", he would however say "We have JG11".

I know we have some intense fights coming on Saturday afternoon.  I know which squad will have the most fun.  Everything else is open to debate.

 It's going to be a shame to see all these poor Luftwaffe pilots going home empty handed on Saturday, as our escort groups will prove to be extremely effective :aok .

II./SG4 gave the Allied B-26's a, shall I call it, warm welcome to Italy much like the picture posted above.  None would return.

how did that one go for you Ghost?    :D  

All I saw were bombers hammering targets and Axis planes getting shot down.   So another day at the office...

Was probably up there with my top three fun frames had a blast!  

Felt a little sorry for an Ace 109 trying to mix it with 3 of us, he fought and died well, logs will tell.   :aok   :salute
