Too tired today.:yawn:

Not in mood to play today. Maybe Tomorrow :yawn:

Giving a heads up that till further notice I'm not hosting any flights.
Lacking missions, lacking the effort I have to make news ones as during the days I'm mostly busy and in the evening too tired to come up with ideas or make them appear in the editor and do them right as I don't want to end up with the campaign going all over the place.

This has nothing to do with IL2, too much things on my head right now (No..Raptor that isn't going to solved by a bullet) resulting I'm just flat out for the moment beeing so big game sessions that takes too much effort like IL2 and ArmA 2 so I can enjoy them just doesn't work for me.

Will I continue on the campaign? Yes but I will take my time on it without having any deadline.

Right, now the dust has been cleaned away. Look what I've got:

Forming up to escort Raptor in his Steel carrier

Escorting the Steel carrier

Task Force underestimates gravity and crashes, the Steel carrier and Hunter wade through some flak

The Steel Carrier

http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/1197/grab0016.jpg
Some more 109s arrive, Hunter dispatches one, Arc tangles with another, I follow Arc who falls out from behind the 109, I attempt to hit the 109 with my Hispanos and stall into the ground. Arc follows shortly afterwards.

The Steel carrier is then set upon by Italians as it comes in to land

Hunter plays aerobatics and then meets the Oleg trees...

Second mission, I fly the Leopold carrier and Raptor has an...unusual skin.

http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/6448/grab0024w.jpg
After becoming the first Belgian in space, I land and Task Force comes in to demolish the tower...and misses. As a result he only gains a score of 7.0 out of 10.

Hunter, Arclight and the Leopold Carrier

We're flying again?:hmmm:

Well, here and there. Mostly there, but sometimes here...

By Jingo, it's true. The AI really does stall!

And all I had to do was shoot my MGs at it. :o

Anyway:

http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/5343/grab0026v.jpg
My first kill with the Hurribomber, a He-111 literally explodes into pieces as my four Hispanos tear into it. Meanwhile its kameraden pepper me with MG fire to little avail.

The airfield below receives its fair share of the battle...

http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/5643/grab0028.jpg
Raptors cannons find their mark as I circle the dogfight, Winchester.

http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/3130/grab0029.jpg
Raptor: "Argh...no...don't spin!"

http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/9118/grab0030.jpg
Down and back round into the bombers goes Raptor, quite literally into them in fact...

http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/1236/grab0031i.jpg
I decide to RTB, and head for the airfield, however I am rudely interrupted by a 109 which shears my port wingtip off, fortunately my magic light still works and I'm able to make a good emergency landing on all three wheels.

http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/1391/grab0032.jpg
I pull up and switch off the engine, happy to be safe on the ground...and then I look over at the near ground...

Meanwhile AI 'Arclight's plane explodes under the combined effort of two 109s, leaving 'Arclight's corpse to do an almost perfect swan dive into the ground.

http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/1019/grab0034.jpg
Task Force comes in to land (on his second attempt) trying to persuade his 190 to slow down. I suggest slipping it slightly, and he manages a bouncy landing on the second go. Hunter died somewhere, somehow.

Second mission.
After coming to the conclusion that my little Hurribomber really isn't up to the requirements I need it to be (more ammo, faster) I hop into the empty seat of Arclights P-39. I like this aircraft, although it still smells faintly of cheese.

http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/8886/grab0035.jpg
This picture gives you some idea of how well this mission went...and that was against 110s with a couple of 109 escorts!! I almost got a 110 but sadly his escort blindsided me, I caught fire and exploded shortly afterwards.

Third mission

Part-way through this mission my Track-IR decides to up sticks on me, leaving me stuck with a 'straight-ahead' view...not ideal in dogfight conditions...

http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/2742/grab0037.jpg
After destroying one Stuka (the thing literally exploding in front of me) and scaring another, I come in to land only to find Hunter has beaten me to it.

http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/1994/grab0038.jpg
As I park up, Hunter gets a visitor...

http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/15/grab0039.jpg
I (messily) take off to try to intercept. The 109 strafes Hunter again, turns and then flies straight into the ground. I catch up with the other 109 which had just put Raptor into the deck and fire my MGs at it, scaring it so much that it immediately stalls, enters a violent spin and smashes into the deck.
Annoyingly I don't get any credit for it since my MGs went wide.

http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/9411/grab0040.jpg
Hunters plane catches fire and explodes shortly afterwards as I come round to land, Task Force meanwhile had been whalloped earlier on in the mission...which left me as the sole survivor.

Raptor: So Oberon is the only survivor
Hunter: Yup, amazing.
Raptor: Perhaps it's some sort of reverse magic, if you put him in a stall bucket, he'll never stall it...


Don't bet on it guys. :03::salute:

Where did the reputation of stallbucket come from anyway? Raptor stalling it? :hmmm:

I'm more likely to black out than stall it. The former happened once, the latter never.

The engine placement apparently unbalances it, which causes some rather crazy spins. I suppose it's not quite as bad when it comes to stalling as, say, the P-51 (though it still stalls quite a bit, how you people manage not to stall it at all, I have no idea), but when it does it's a lot harder to recover.

I'll have to pull into one and see about the recovery then. I just found it gives enough warning to avoid getting there normally.
