Yes it is. 

After you make your Jabo attack you're free to fly up to the down draft if you wish.
Once you rearm you're a Jabo again.

cc all. Perfect.

I'm assuming this also applies if they need to drop ords to combat enemy fighters before the target area?

Would you also assume that you're being attacked when you're really not?

The rules of the setup state...

- 109Es and 110Cs must be used in Jabo role. They cannot be assigned as sweep or escort.

The 109E and 110C are there to represent the 109 LG units and 110 SKG units. They are not there to represent Jagdgeschwader units.

If for some reason you cannot blow past I-16s or Hurricanes to get to your target and need to defend yourself of course you are free to do so.
However this doesn't mean drop your ord and go air to air just because you spot enemy fighters.
The mission of the 109E and 110C is Jabo and in the spirit of the event they are expected to do their best to carry out their assigned attack.

Defending ourselves is what I was referring to. But after that engagement we have free reign to use the full alt available, correct? Lets face it, a 109E is near useless in ground attack without that bomb.

[Arlo]

You should have time to return, rearm and make another run as long as you're not dropping on close targets then escorting buffs.

Yes, see my quote.

Excellent. Just wanted to be sure the issue was crystal clear.

[Arlo]

Obviously.

And, obviously, anyone dedicated to the JABO assignment as mandated by the scenario design would probably be more concerned with quick turn-arounds and re-arms rather than grabbing for the ceiling (even if allowed). After all, I thought I heard someone infer that an Emil without ord is a pizz poor Jabo.

Indeed, but I'm certainly not staying low and leaving myself open to being pounced by them pesky commies on my way back for a rearm.
