S! Chaps

Had a great time escorting the Filth's bomber mission last night (thx chaps, twas fun), and as I said elsewhere, I usually prefer axis side. But anyways! What's wrong with you people - the last I can remember flying 190 on the axis side, we had a huge dominant role on the arena, and soon a huge chorus of complaints started under the other thread. According to the arguments (I might misread ya too) I have found under this thread, I can find that people are not satisfied of how axis are behaving (not going after bombers, not organizing their activities enough...) WTF

Btw, one explanation is the shift in the time zones. The time I entered the spitfire last night, the local time was something like 5:00 am when most of us fins (and rest of the europe) had been asleep for a long time all ready. We usually fly much earlier (I dont bother to calculate the differences) but it just might be, that when we are sleeping, the allies are active and the other way around...

Yes..the earth being round and only one sun makes global coordination a pain! Maybe someday they'll fix that and have us all sleep at the same time

[RTSigma]

Well, my financial refund is coming back, so expect me to (attempt) give you bombers problems over the Fatherland.

Everything was fine when the Earth was flat, before that darned Columbus got involved.

Meddling little (grumble grumble)

Mission will start forming at 9pm ET. We need both sides. Luftwaffe and escorts please select a flight leader and form opposition.  Meet me at A2 at 9pm ET allies, to form up. A mission will be posted.

I don't get home until 10:30 ET, maybe there'll still be a buff that needs a gunner

Ummm, shot... right. I keep my shot in a bottle surrounded by more whiskey as not to bruise it so don't be surprised if you find a little more than an ounce in there

[Jaekart]

I spied on yer bottle when ya hid it.  That's how I know theres enough to divvie it up.

 MISSION #2

Bombing Alt:17,000ft

  12 B24s left A2 this afternoon for target A49. Although escort of P47s was available, the force was overwhelmed by waves of enemy fighters. The escort got engaged and the bomber pulled too far out in front. They were left at the mercy of the Luftwaffe, which appeared lacking in that today.

  It appears all 12 B24s were lost. The B24 in its combat debut appeared to flame up more readily than the B17.

  Some bombers did drop, but caused little damage to the base.


 MISSION #3

 Bombing Alt: 21,000ft

   12 B17s left A8, picking up many escort fighters along the way. They proceded to A46. They made it to target but not before a stunning headon attack by 3 luftwaffe fighters claiming one of Stringers B17s. The remaining B17s dropped, but due to cloud cover it appears the bombs went long. Light damage was caused by Kongkyuk's B17 to some structures on the base.
  All but one B17 landed. Unknown status of escorting fighters but it is believed they faired well.

   Overall, it is believed deep strikes into enemy territory at this time will be to costly to the fledgling 8th AF. Targets will likely be shorter range targets, such as coastal bases and cities.

 try more like an average alt of 22k+
I made a pass on your 1st sorti at over 22k

[FiLtH]

I dont understand how you are seeing the buffs so much higher than they are. The B24s were level at 17k to target. The second flight of B17s was 21k. The escort is alot higher. Is that what you are referring to?

Don't let your enemy tell you what alt to fly. If your buffing your number one defense is altitude. Your biggest threat as far as firepower right now is the FW-190. It's performance suffers above 22k. Your main escort right now the P-47 , has it's best performance above 22K. The 109s are a threat no matter what the alt, but at lest you can negate some of the FW-190 threat. As far as Spitfires are concerned at that altitude, I really don't know how it affects their performance. I can't fly them at sea level or at high alt.

No matter what you do , the game is going to get gamed, and your going to get insulted for your efforts by some of the people in here. Plan your missions to give you as much advantage as possible over your enemy.
Your going to need it.
