Hunter had some bad luck, as my bomb dropped before his and blew up all the 'soft' targets, so his SC1000 couldnt blow the tanks.
Morts, less stunts, pay attention, one enemy fighter can take us all out if we get surprised. Good job on that fighter you downed. 
At the moment of this post, SubSim Aviators holds the 2nd position in points for the blue side squadrons. Good work. 
Now, a small tactic concerning bombers with fighter escort. As we tested (but were interrupted by the enemy), the escort should break off the formation when near target IF there is no imminent threat to the bombers and go ahead to the target area and report the target's position back to bombers. I dont want to spend time looking for the targets, in and out as quickly as possible.
I'll make few reference pics for our formations later, so everyone knows their place in the air.

dowly you might not have noticed it but i was doing those so called "stunts" so i could watch your behind and get a much clearer view insted of just looking over the shoulder |
Like zig-zagging around me & Hunter? Doing low passes when we are taking off? Using the smoke that gives away one's position? :hmm:
No matter how good pilot one is, those kinda tricks are always risky. And if you die, our team loses 1 pilot & 1 plane. If you crash to someone while doing a stunt, that's 2 pilots & 2 planes from our side. It's not about scores, it's about winning the war.
Mind you, I dont want to sound like a jerk, I know it's boring like hell to fly an escort-duty.
