Erich Loewenhardt of Jasta 10 goes down at the hands of Major James Bigglesworth. This kill rises Bigglesworths claims to 61. (35 confirmed) May 1917.

For real, Erich Loewenhardt became the third best pilot in the german airforce during WWI. He died on the 10th of August, 1918, when he crashed into a Fokker D.VII during a dogfight. He bailed out, but his parachute didn't open, so he fell to his death from around 12.000 feet. The poor boy...he was only 21...The pilot in the Fokker survived though.

Teaches them Russians not to mess with the JG53. :smug:

Damn, you're lucky SOB, Kratos. :up:

Sooo, is there an 109 to fly in the campaign? Got a day off tomorrows and few cold ones in the fridge. :rock:

:D Hehe, yeah in that 2nd sortie I rammed the BF110 after a miscalculated turn, I try to swing behind the fecka to avoid beeing shot up by the Rear Gunner.

anyhow your IL2 graphic quality isnt right, no AA nor AF as far I can see?
try to enable those in your Ati Control panel, mate
it really helps you to spot planes from futher away and ofcourse to avoid that they are too pixelated when they at medium range which makes them hard to track if the landscape is of dark colour.

yes Dowly, its mostly Spitfire IXC versus 109 G2's
sometimes the P40 jumps in on the allied side.
its a great campaign actually, short distance to target, even on 50 + aircraft there is plenty of action going on.

Kratos and I are becoming some crazy RAF pilots,
and for the first time kratos scored a kill and lived to tell that story (a Fat Ju52 which we started to call ''Fat Goering Carrier'')

HunterICX

Couldnt ask for a better plane. I stop by at TS tonight and see if you two are flying. :up:

Yea the graphics suck since the reformat :cry: been messing about with them and i fear i might be adding to the problem. ;)


About time ;) thought you were getting a phobia :)

Those Macchis put up a good fight, they perform just as well as a spitfire only lacking in firepower.

Great sorties in that italian campaign:up:
