Well, yes, that doesn't help. But well, it sparked the best bromance of all time:

You're welcome. :haha:

Mission 8
Protect Salmijarvi airfield

Result:
Took off as normal, and patrolled the area. Widened patrol area on hearing engagement between Finnish and Russian forces. Finally engaged contacts in grid AM16, Pe-3s with I-16 escorts. Oberon blacked out whilst turning to evade what he thought was a contact on his tail (but it turned out to be on Hunters) and then crashed into the ground, Raptor was killed instantly with a head on pass by an I-16, Arclight was shot down and Hunter crashed into the Oleg trees.

Before half of his friends return the favour

Mission 9
The same as mission 8 but with more weird waypoints

Outcome
Normal take-off and rapid ascent to 6000m, encountered a Pluskat moment when several flights of Soviet aircraft appeared out of a cloud in front of us. Oberon attacked a Pe-2 but got an I-16 on his tail and then got his tail removed. Arclight managed to RTB safely only to get strafed on the ground, Raptor got his aircraft set on fire by a Peshkas rear gunner, and Hunter managed to hunt down and kill a particularly slippery Peshka before RTBing.

Mind if I share this on the IL2 - BoS forum?

I don't mind, but it's Oberon our Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda that's writing our glorious victory reports so better wait for his go ahead :)

Guess I'll have to reinstall that bugger after all...
You guys are completely lost without me.:nope:

We aren't lost, we are where we are needed to be....bits here, bits there, some in comfy Gulag bunks....

Sure Cybermat, go ahead. :up:

I might have some moving pictures at some point today too. :yep:

Are you implying that we have been any less than completely successful in the destruction of the evil communist hordes?

We are, of course. When we manage to kill something and/or actually make it back in one piece.

Which at this point seems to be the exception. :hmmm:

Ende.

Indeed, our domination of the Soviet Air Force is inevitable...just watch:

:haha: great stuff, especially part 2 :rotfl2:

I see now. It was the infamous Soviet lag cannon which destroyed the Pe-3 Hunter was chasing; they must've been trying to hit him but missed... :hmmm:

Um..yeah...about that...

That was me taking a screenshot... :oops:

Just a heads up, there probably won't be a flight this week, but we'll continue as normal next week.

Thanks all. :up:

Darn it! I was so looking forward to the fun that is the Lolwaffles.

@Oberon:

Raptor1 performed some scientifically experiments in the names of glorius science after reading that the latest beta version of DCG fixes something called the ''ace'' bug...it seems no matter if they're set on average or rookie in DCG they'll be set to veteran and aces in game.

DCG :hmph:

perhaps upgrade to windows 8..I mean the beta version and see if it the I-16's stop behaving like uberkill bolshevik cyborg space comandos?

I'll just leave this here :shifty:

Ah. You said 'cooler', not 'Kola'. Now it makes sense... :doh:
