Mission #1 Fin & Schroeder's landing approaches:

TarJak · 10-31-08, 07:39 PM

Mission #2:

Met some Stuka's on the way out:

Oberon does some fancy ground hugging to escape 3 Yak 1's on his 6:

Disaster! He runs out of fuel close to base and the Yaks catch him:

Oberon bails out safely over friendly territory:

Oberon · 10-31-08, 08:14 PM

Todays/Yesterdays mission

Firstly we ironed out any problems in the DCG machine and tested for the LaG gun, all was clear, so we took off and headed out. In the distance Hunter spotted rocket flashes, much to his confusion. Oberon frantically looked for the button to release chaff and flares then remembered that this was IL2 not LOMAC and that the rocket flashes were probably Katyushas.

Red Army Choir: Rastsvetali iabloni i grushi
Hunter: Shut it!

Nearby the Katyushas lay IL-2s, the Lolwaffles dived on the IL2s and wrecked havoc, even Oberon got a kill!

Then they dived on the Little Katies! Destruction was wrought, with Schroeder silencing the AAA before joining the rest of the team.

Unfortunately, during this time, Hunter got his rudder shot away, and therefore on his return, he landed up upside down.

Speaking of upside down, the Lolwaffles were joined by Australian member Tarjak! Reformed and reorganised, they set off into the air once again. A selection of Yaks was pounced upon and devoured.

Then the Lolwaffles found themselves out of targets and returning to base. On their way back, Oberon spotted what he thought was a flight of German bombers, there was nothing around so he decided to buzz them for a laugh. Then they opened fire on him. Heavily wounded he had enough to to alert the Lolwaffles that there were IL2s in the area, before crash landing and walking away barely alive from it!

Tarjak came in an attack run but lost a wing and spiralled into the ground.

The rest of the IL2s were dispatched by Fin and Schroeder.

Hunter was returning to base in his Ju88 after a mission to destroy three Soviet tanks, and Task Force was MIA. Fin came in on a landing with no elevators, despite dire warnings from the rest of the Lolwaffles, but he survived with cuts and bruises after flipping his Gustav.

On the third mission, the Lolwaffles were tasked with babysitting a group of 'nuggets', but Hunter took the flight plan and threw it out of the window when his 'sources' told him that Stalin was putting an 'All or nothing' bombing run involving the entire Soviet air force. So, the Lolwaffles headed in, scattering the enemy far and wide, Hunter taking on Peshkas, who seem to have not been from hell since he downed five of them, and Oberon managed to down one before losing contact.

Schroeder had lost the battle to his local internet provider which had 'timed out' somehow at exactly 1am...damn those Soviet spies!! Oberon then decided to RTB but word come through from Hunters 'contacts' that a group of IL2s were bombing the bridge, as Hunter was on finals, Fin, Tarjak and Oberon turned around and headed out for the bridge which by now had been destroyed, so it was time for vengence!
Unfortunately the Soviets had pre-empted this and positioned Yaks to intercept, as Fin, Tarjak and Oberon broke through the clouds over the river, Oberon heard a non-Daimler-Benz engine sound....Yaks!!
A turning battle developed, and Fin went down, then Tarjak got one on his tail, Oberon tried his best to get it off his tail, but was then jumped by one himself. Tarjaks control surfaces by this time were pretty shot up, since he was over friendly territory, he bailed. Oberon tried to provide cover, but ran out of ammo, he tried to clip the nearest Yak but lost it in the cloud. By this time, Tarjak had hit the silk, which left three pretty angry Yaks heading for Oberon...Time for some low level, high speed escape!
Stalin must have put a good bounty on 'the propagandist's head because these three Yaks were not going to let go so easily. Scurrying as low as 10m above the landscape at 500kph Oberon had no time to look over his shoulder, but was guided by Hunter from the base. One Yak gave up and peeled away, but the others kept coming, unable to close to finish the job but unwilling to give up. Soon Oberon could see the circle of German bombers constantly circling over Schultz who by now was screaming "Nicht Landen" every two seconds, home and safety!
It was at that point that the fuel guage needle plonked down onto zero and his engine stopped. He pulled up, prayed that he had enough altitude to bail out in and hit the sack as the two Yaks came in guns blazing. So close, and yet so far! But still alive!

Authors note: Gees what a rush that last chase was!! I honestly thought I'd had it when Hunter said they were coming in for an attack run, I was expecting to see tracers coming past my cockpit at any second!

Great report Oberon!

'Twas a good flight. Hope I can join again tomorrow morning my time.

Raptor1 · 11-01-08, 01:28 PM

So I guess the Soviets need a sabotaged DCG for their Lag gun to work, good thing we fixed that then

Will try to be there today

Task Force · 11-01-08, 02:45 PM

Hello everyone, just got back from the regional landfill. (got rid of my dads old boat that was a hunk of s*** and some bricks)

Ill be there tonight if youall are flying.

Oberon · 11-01-08, 08:08 PM

Todays mission for the Lolwaffles, if they chose to accept it, was to escort some Stukas...so they chose not to accept it. Instead, Schroeders sources told him that the enemy would be massing at H13, probably near another bridge.
Take off occured with little incident, the Soviet LaG cannon attempting to shoot the Lolwaffles down but failing, managing to disrupt communications instead. Teamspeak was the primary victim, Hunter being the first to fall with his voice sounding like a dyslexic rapper with a bad stutter.
The Lolwaffles encountered some Peshkas from hell, Raptor being the first to open fire, and then promptly ramming the enemy.

Schroeder strafed one heavily, and yet it continued to fly for a good two minutes before deciding to do the decent thing and plummet to its doom.
Oberon went to take one Peshka, only to have the AI steal it from him, swearing at the Artificial Insanity, he switched to the last Peshka and fired everything he had at it, slicing off its wing.

A return to base began, but then Tarjak spotted some Yaks, possibly the same three Yaks who had been so sore at Oberon the day before, so as he, Schroeder and Fin got stuck in, Oberon turned to try and find the Yaks, although he had limited ammo. He spotted three dots and climbed to intercept only to find that they were not Yaks but the twin engined IL4!
Sadly with sod all ammo there was nothing he could do but report them and return to base where Hunter was waiting in his Stuka from his earlier mission (Taskforce and Hunter had taken the Stukas, Taskforce crashing early due to eating while flying...never a good combination)

After this, the rest of the group RTB'd and it was decided to end the campaign missions for today and move on to a dogfight server due to the large number of players on board. Kratos bid the crew farewell at that point, leaving Hunter, Oberon, Tarjak, Fin, Schroeder, Task Force and Raptor in the dogfight server.
Oberon designated grid square C3 as the 'Round Table' (Hurrah for Ace Combat reference) and the aircraft did battle there. Eventually, a more organised tournament formed, with Schroe, Hunter and Tarjak in team Blue and Oberon, Fin, Taskforce and Raptor in team Red. The first round, Biplanes, saw Red win, the second pre-1940 aircraft, saw Blue win after Oberon set Fin on fire by mistake (SORRY!!

) saving Hunters bacon as Fin was owning him severely. Schroeder was assassinated by Soviet agents at 1am precisely (punctual these Soviet spies) so Oberon switched to Blue in time for round three, 1940-43. Then Raptor brought in a jet plane and destroyed the world.
Pictures from the dogfight match will go in the Screenshots thread

TarJak · 11-01-08, 09:50 PM

Off we all went in our shiny new 109G's:

Schroder looking good:

Oberon forgot to mention that he managed to stick his landing:

Schroder on the other hand showed us all how it was done on the left taxiway despite Shulzes complaints and shouts of "Nicht Landen!":

I got hit by the Lag cannon and whilst attempting to persue one of the Yak's went into an uncontrollable dive and bailed out before the impact:

Raptor1 · 11-02-08, 12:26 PM

My Windows installation is about to kick the bucket and I have to reformat (Took it long enough, it usually lasts a lot less), so I probably won't be there today (So be glad)
