Nice shots Charlie!

@Kratos; Thanks mate always trying to do me best.

@Charlie

From what I know the 109s were not equipped with droptanks during BoB causing their rather short combat time over the British Isle. I think they got them later.:hmm:

But great pictures non the less.

IIRC that's correct, the 109s only had about five-ten minutes combat time over the UK before "Red Light".

Great shots though

The 109E-7 was the first 109 to have drop tanks.

Here are those pictures you wanted Kratos

Can't see a thing (Contrary to the chat messege):



You might say that the weather was not as good as it was in Poland:



And, of course, business as usual:



We were tasked with escorting some bombers but we decided that there's no point dogfighting in those conditions (Winds were insane, blew my aircraft onto the taxiway as soon as the mission started and I had to take off in reverse) and the bombers weren't anywhere in sight so we RTBed after about 10 minutes

[Kratos]

Ah well just another day at the office was it?

Correct. Those are indeed Emil 7's, but at the time I took the picture I preferred flying the 7 to the 4 and there were a number of BoB skins for it ok il2skins oddly enough. I think I was also monkeying with the formation commands so I would equip drop tanks just to make that feature work.

[Biggles]

Climb, you bastard! Climb, climb, climb, climb!


I've grown very fond of the B-25. It's a good crate, it doesn't get the attention it deserves.

[Schroeder]

It's probably the bes bomber you can have in Il-2.
It's defensive weapons make it very dangerous for fighters. The only disadvantage is the empireal bombsight. The German ones can be adjusted more accurately.
