Vulcan those spits low over the water were the Nightmares. It was something else.
Basically the Shills, under Sikboy, vectored toward A10 while the Nightmares (23 of us) vectored toward the port just to the west of them. Sikboy called out they were engaged and we turned to the east and ran into a large force of 109s at 26K and lower tangling with the Shills.
It was one of the most intense furballs I have been in for a while. We shot down 13 109s without a loss. But according to the battle plan were suppose to try to sucker the LW to the west and pull you guys down. It worked but we now know that icemaw kept feeding more squads into the fray. We kept having 190s and a few 109s show up with alt on us and BnZ us.
We also ran low and ammo and fuel and kept trying to break north back to england as you guys kept coming in with alt on us. We lost 16 trying to fight our way back to England on low alt while only bagging another 3 LW. 190s are a b@tch with alt is all I have to say.
Nice job and next time we will try to be a bigger nuisance to draw more of you guys quicker from where we don't want you.
