Salute A56 Allied Strike + Dantoo is a Cagey Devil
« on: June 22, 2013, 03:14:04 PM »
As some of us were refueling at A56 we were thinking, "whew, only one hanger down and some burning fuel storage. We might have gotten away with something."

Yeah-Nope.  Dantoo is a cagey devil.  By bringing his squadron in from the 'wrong direction', he almost caught us all on the rearm pad.  Meanwhile his equally determined 9GIAP VVS cossacks leveled the base.  Brilliant.

The way it unfolded seemed like slo-mo and we had plenty of time for creative cursing.  It was like getting hit from behind with a pipe.

The whole Allied strike package at A56, though ultimately decimated, accomplished their strategic objectives heroically.

I think we only got 2 Guys (and 4 Aircraft) home, those were some determined 190's that followed us out <S>!

Ahem....just coincidence you understand..... ;) :bolt:
I get really really tired of selective realism disguised as a desire to make bombers easier to kill.
