Found a picture of a 435th FG P-38 with the droop snoot. Man that had to be an uncomfortable ride!

I would actually love to do this on a massive scale, maybe get all of SAPP involved along with anyone else who wants to join.

Oooh maybe we can do a "CavemanJ" style bomber mission to the new cities when they're released.

orders were a bit ... vague ... after the bombing so we got stuck in and the carnage began, everyone got some, jimmy even landed a couple, I managed to bag 4 before getting chewed up by the conveyor belt of vengeful LA7s :D

suggestions:

Have the droppers in auto level. Even the slightest pitch up/down can throw your bombs way off (mine never hit the town). Also, different-type-formations are hard to keep with the leader. Also, for best effect, have leader call out TAS while he's calibrating, so other planes can try to match. Several MPH variation will only help scatter bombs across a town better, but you don't want to be way off.

if you're doing this, you should also probably start your run almost 2 sectors out. give yourself plenty of time for yas all to get synced together.

Well if you're all perfectly synched, you're just going to waste bombs on the same stretch that the B25s have already bombed... Variation (at least, "some variation" - not too much) will only help the "carpet" part of the carpet bombing.

by "synced" i meant to the same speed and alt, so you know your drop will hit somethign besides dirt.

That was a fine first attempt.

In the future lay in a large supply of duct tape and torpedos. On rare ocassions when SAPP attacks a town, we will only use torps as that seems to make the coolest holes in the ground.
Your OTD shot seems a bit high. In the future fly closer to trees so their shadows can cool the engines.

One other point I'd like to make is the lack of chatter on 200 regarding yalls attack group moving in on the town. All attacks should be preceded by lots of chatter stating the operation heading to the predetermined base.
