What's this "IF" stuff?  All those AV degrees and no one to kill with them... must be a lonely existence.  :D

There will always be a slot for you with the 91st.  Get busy raising those funds.

Congratulations to our fellow squadmate Warborn for being such a badass gunner during squad night last night-- you and your four Rook kills.  :aok :joystick:

Please note, if this is from the long flight with a P51D Rook following your group for 8 sectors... Be advised my wing-wiggle was supposed to be a salute to fly in formation after I ran out of ammo... NOT an easy kill from the waist gunner... :uhoh     :devil

That was some good flying, Dubious.  You were buzzing around like that one pesky mosquito that you can't swat but it just won't go away.  You stayed close but just out of range making us split our attention between you and other cons.  Wasn't thrilled donating a B-17 to your scorepad, but great tactical flying sir!  <S>

Thanks sir, was a blast... I've learned that patience is the key to bomber formations grouping together. You guys were awesome in trying to rotate the "injured" group into the middle to provide better cover and not let any 1 group fall out to become a lucrative target. <S> to that alone.

1 thing you guys could try is using the waist gunners only when "ranging shots", as I've found that to be helpful in letting the con know you're looking at him, whilst not wasting precious top or ball turret ammo.  You'd be surprised how accurate you can be at 1.5k out the sides with only 1 tracer going out... Small thing, but I found it helps.

Also I'd just like to salute your group for actually jumping in bombers. I know how thankless the job it is.   Fighter jocks will WHINE all day about that 1 time a bomber bailed in front of or near them... yet you try and limp an injured single bomber out of your formation that's beat all to hell, home, and the fighter jocks will cream themselves over vultching your carcus either A) JUST landing, or B) as your poor bomber hull screeches to a hault trying to ditch.    :bhead

After experiencing this type of behavior, I TOTALLY understand some bomb'n'bail behavior.  BUT you guys didn't, so  :salute and hope to see you guys soon!

I appreciate the good words, Dubious, and I know the rest of the 91st does too.

You're right, we don't bail unless there is some massive tactical reason we have to, and it would be a case where we'd bail even if we were the only con in two sectors.  I can't think of one time any of us ever bailed just to grief a pursuing fighter.  Ain't the 91st style.  Mostly though, we like the fight and that challenge of getting a flying piece of Swiss cheese back on a runway. 

Many times when we aren't killed or the fighter limps away, we don't know who it was we were up against, so it's a good thing now and then to be able to know who was poking us with a sharp stick and acknowledge it.

Hope to see in our sights again soon <S>

She's so purty, yet lethal.   :D

We've always got one saved for folks to take out for a "test drive". ;)

Come fly with us.

PM me or our X.O. Zener for details.

The "Ragged Irregulars" have a little award system going, thanks to our X.O., Zener. I am late in issuing this one out- my apologies.  :uhoh

Here you go, Warborn, for your badass gunnery. :) <S>

 :rofl :aok :aok :aok

That would be awesome..

Our squad night is usually Saturdays @ 8pm Eastern, but it has been exceptionally difficult these past several months for squad members to attend. Our sorties have had some very light participation, with a few volunteer escorting from other individuals and squads in BishieLand.. (thanks, guys).

Would love for these kinds of battles to grow again in the MA. :)
