Thunder & Lightning

Ladies and Gents, the next Sunday Night Scramble will pit the Allies vs the Luftwaffe in the skies over occupied France in the bloody summer of 1943.

All are welcome to attend at a special time of July 29th - 8:00 PM EDT.

Of course we are looking for some energetic pilots who are willing to act as lead for each of the three bomber groups, as well as the escorts. Plus of course some Leaders for the Luftwaffe groups.

As you can see the only limit we have is on the number of bombers available. So please contact me if you have any desire to lead some Heavies or any of the other groups we have available.

Please contact me if you're interested via PM or Email.

I have eight BOPs lined up to fly bombers, preferably B17's if possible. I'm still trying to rustle up escorts.

Do you have to be with a squad as per FSO? Or can you Just turn up and fill in where needed?
I always like the Buffs with Escorts taking on the LW scenarios, always good fun and you really get some good immersion in this.
cheers Hawco:aok

Hehe, judging by that avatar, I'd have to agree.

I will try and make it. Sounds like a fun one.

Are we using the AVA type bombsite for this scenario? And are there any windage settings enabled?

Nefarious · « **Reply #9 on:** July 25, 2007, 07:01:16 AM »

Standard MA Bombsite.

You know BoPs... your seat cushions can be used as flotation devises.

Thanks for the tip. We used them while relaxing on the beach after all of us returned from a sucessful mission

Boy am I glad I am not flying Axis in DGS, I am not smart enough.

I was making a pass at 25k through 38s at what I thought was the nose of the B-17 group.

In the back of my mind I kep wondering why the closure rate seemed slow... I KNEW I was in front of them because of the angle I came in at...

I just figured I was imagining it.. until I got 1.5k out and saw the tails and realized somehow I had gotten turned south and was coming in behind them... 1 B-17 down, dead engine in the 109G6 and a smoking trail into the earth from 25k... those things lock up quick..
