I'll try and find the trk for the second sortie ;)

Aah, so it was Hunter who crashed to the AI. I flew right past him just after he did it. I though it was an AI vs. AI. Oh well. ;)

@Kratos

and that was why Hunter was complaing about that. :88)

Well I should be online tomorrow night so even more fun. Would be good if we could get 8 ro so of us up there duking it out in a free for all dogfight, no sides.

Well, my current Luftwaffe pilot (1943; Afrika Corps) is out for the moment due to wounds sustained during a dogfight.:shifty:

Got 6 planes in it, though, but we lost 2 pilots due to British flak.

Well, it happens, AND it happenED.

Shots from sortie #1 from last night with HunterICX & Kratos.

Target was an formation of 4 IL2s + it's 4 escorts.

But we made a fair deal. I exhanged one of my tail wings to his right wing.

After the IL2s were downed, we concentrated on to the escorts.

Aand now to the landings. The recorded tracks sometimes fail to see the damage on the planes and this was the case on Kratos' plane, every part possible was filled with gaping holes, must've been a bitch to land.

Kratos has landed

HunterICX landing the only successfull landing of the sortie

Coming up on sortie #2:

We take on Pe-2's and afterwards the Ferret decides it's an wise decision to go get the fighters over the enemy airfield.

"HunterICX landing the only successfull landing of the sortie"


I firmly refuse to believe that....:p

Well, in sortie #3 he was back to being himself. He was flying Stuka and as he strafed, his gears hit the ground, leaving him without any for the landing. So he had to use the cannons installed under the wings as a reserve gears. :rotfl:

Okie, sortie #2.

Target: 4 unescorted Pe-2s.

The Pe-2s were taken care quickly, 2 kills for HunterICX and 2 for Dowly.

Then we headed for the enemy airfield where there was bunch of La-5's giving hard time to our comrades.

As one can see from the chat-box, everyone was very confident of our success. :p

Very nice
Hunter did Dowly make you that nice custom skin...

Would like one too... :) Haven't decided on the colour. I'll join you tonight, was out of action last night with man flu.

Yeh, made him the skin. Get on line and take a number. And while you're at it, clean your PM box, it's full. :p

No, seriously, just tell the colors you want for the nose & fuselage and I'll do it. :up:

PM@Dowly

Okie dokie!

Like this Dowly for the 109 but with a funkier rudder.

Also this shade of orange is too bright, I was thinking a darker more burnt orange and a darker shade of green.

Also what font do you use for your writing?

Cant remember the font I use, I never check the names, just see what looks best. ;)
