B24 sorties?
« on: December 04, 2013, 12:15:12 PM »
Since this is the start of the new tour I have flown two sorties in the 24s.  On each mission I lost one plane and was able to bail.  When I go to the clipboard it shows eight sorties and three bails. :noid On the second mission I was disconnected and was able to come back in flight both of my drones were in the default skin and I was back to the original fuel load out.  Any thoughts on this?

hmmm... 2 missions in 24's would be 6 sorties. You sure that you did not happen to fly two single sorties, for example in a C-47, or a A-20 in bomber scoring mode? So far I have never seen the game logging sorties I didn't fly, so that would be the easiest explanation ;)

As for the disco... yes, that with the skin does always happen that way. And I found my tanks not being back to original fuel loadout, but had all remaining fuel suddenly distributed evenly across all fuel tanks.

The third death was in Fi 156 that somehow had changed status from attack to a bomber.  So as it stands now I have three missions in 24s and one in Fi 156 for 10  sorties and yet I show 11.  I rarely fly A20s and I have not upped a C47 this tour.

 Originally I flew bombers strictly for score but I have developed a routine in the mornings where the 1 hour it takes for a mission really works out for me.  With the winds aloft I like to bomb with the wind as close as I can get it on my six.  Normally I like to fly within 600 feet of the wind change.  That way I can make a turn and climb or desend 600 or 700 feet and again have the wind on my six.
