Battle of Britain scenario is epic
« on: August 19, 2017, 03:52:30 PM »
I've just had some of the most memorable fights in years- i'm having a fantastic time. That is despite current;y being in the tower because i was forced to ditch after being shot up by a gaggle of 20-30 bf 109s. :)

Get into the special events arena and participate in this before this finishes in 7 hours tiime. There is a strong possibility you will have a good time.

Pretty amazing down in the gutter dogfight with my Stuka being attacked by spits and hurricanes. That was BRUTAL but fun!  Oh, and sorry about A33, we just happened to be flying over it as the launch window popped, couldn't resist!

Nothing clever here.  Please, move along.

PS -  To all the folks that stayed in for 12 hours, way to go!  You now have a glimpse what it's like to fly a Global, Gulfstream or Widebody Boeing/Bus.  Minus the guns and all that stuff but still...

WAY TOO GO 610 Squadron(of which I helped) :rock You guys were AWESOME(I helped a bit,too)! Top Squadron in Battle of Britain(in kills) :cheers: Thanks again Weiser,Damphyno, Bgoldy ,DutchvII and all you guys. Best 10 hours ,almost straight, ever   :rock  It left me with an impression that was hard to put aside though. It is amazing to me, how Britain did what they did in real life. Out gunned, against seasoned Warriors, awe inspiring to say the least. Just the littlest glimpse of the REALITY those boys went through, has kept me awake after this scenario. Sort of makes Churchill"s "No more has been owed" speech seem more real,in a way? Then I have to think about my American Warriors. Thank you,for all you have done...AND still do! Thank you Nefari and anyone else that spent the time organizing this event. It meant more than you can ever realize or I can express. I needed this,lets just leave it at that! THANK YOU

They just kept coming at our bombers,,, coming and pounding, no mercy.  Metal filled the sky.
