The Axis plan worked wonderfully. The proof is in the loss rate of the JU-88's. WTG Axis fighters. <S> All that flew. It was a great fight.

Sorry we had BB guns, 303's are for rabbits not 88

<S> JG2 for their CAP over A8. We didn't see a Spit or Hurri the whole trip.

[MjTalon]

It was a marvelous sight over A18, nothing but spitfires and hurricanes but they were already bogged down when we spotted the 88s overhead with nothing but clear skies.

We had a great time riding with JG2.  .    Thanks for ride Chappy.

On the way home from a8 i saw Stampf put his ju88 on the ground, possibly a POW now.  Hope he finds his way home...
Well done JG11,JG2, and Helcat fighter Group..

Your not kidding about that.  I had a Hurr on one of my Ju88 drone.  Poor guy must have spent all his ammo to get the kill and no luck.  Another squdi had five spits all over him.  They could not get any kills.  I don't know how Jerrie pull it off in the real BoB.

You do realize you're talking about how weak British 303s are and then wondering how "Jerry" the Germans pulled it off don't you?

That was the Rolling Thunder. At one point I was drifiting in and out of the bomber stream, untouched by escorts. Unfortunately I might as well have leaned out the window to use spitwads. We chased the group of Ju-88's that hit A21 clear out into the channel. 5 Spitfires popping all their ammo into those planes. Didn't even see any fuel leaks or oil lost. It was quite a sad sight. It wasn't even that we were attacking multiple formations, we made the call to focus on ONE bomber flight, and still couldn't manage to put him down. Must have been a real nail biting flight for the pilot of those Ju-88's for sure!

<S> Good job on getting em home. Stop using the "Steel" hax! It's no fun for us!

 Great fight guys It was my squads (VMF-214 BlackSheep) first FSO and we had a blast and hopefully we will bring more of our squaddies in from the main arena for next Friday to share in the fun.
 I had 1 question that I was curious about. I got into a dogfight in my Hurricane over A25 with a Ju-88. I have to say I've never seen anybody dogfight an 88 before and was very impressed. I was hoping to find the pilot to give him a big Salute it was a fine job. I ran out of ammo and had to rtb.
 Great job on FSO guys

LOL, that was Larry or Flatiron that you guys where trying to get.  I was surprise how much beating them 88 took.  I had two Hurr that HO me, one of them collided into mer.  It was a good effort on that one hurr but nothing happen.  Surely one of you got a kill?
