me too not used this on realistic yet and havent flown a P51 either :eek:


Kav you will never fly alone .............. love bop awesome game ;)



winny - great idea we stopped chaseing the "hun" at dover after a quick message to gilly during the game would be a nice touch!!!!!

Things we learnt from the reccy last night in Berlin.
1/ Reichstag is a good visible target to use
2/ can land a B17 at schonfeld
3/ the 190's stack up well against both the p51 and p47
4/ there's always one twat that doesn't understand what your doing and ruins it even when you send them a message!!

And
5/ Gilly´s vocabulary regarding 4/ is very entertaining.

This run is very short and will be very hectic.
After you guys left last night, me and scotty did some nightflights, until the internet gods decided I had been flying to much and pulled the plug on my connection.

The time in a FW 190 from Schønefeld to Tempelhoff is about 1 min 40 sec flying time.
From Tempelhoff to The Reichstag, 1 minute and 20 sec.
This is leveled flight.

I got bored..

FW190-D - Standstill to 10,000ft - 1 min 8 secs
P51-D - 10,000ft - 1 min 12 secs
B-17 from 1,500 to 10,000 - 1 min 35 secs

I climbed so as not to lose airspeed so it may be done quicker.

always one....

Axis:
Defenders: Fw190 f8

Thanks to all of you for attending.
Thanks to Gilly for expanding the bombraid with the second and third target.
This was great fun, and a real visual treat. I will never forget the formation of three B-17 forming up, flying above the river, closing in to the Reichstag.
These where Gilly, McQ, and McKJD I beileve.
As I closed in from above at 5 o´clock, the two in the back collided and went down burning . . .. :shock::shock::shock::shock::shock: AWSOME SIGHT

Some problems with loose canons on deck, not able to neither read, listen or respond to pleasant approches to let the session be as set up.
Hopefully these guys know who they are and will NOT do this again.

So whats next ?

I wouldn't mind trying this again but limiting it to the guys in the know as the first one went pretty damn well considering it was the first run through. Parallax had the best idea of messaging everyone involved prior to starting just so everyone is clear as to form up areas and targets etc and is then ready when the lobby is created.
We should perhaps reccy the korsun, sicily and Stalingrad maps to see if they would be viable.

Some pics from the Berlin session:


I am up for Berlin again, Yes Sire :-)
And with players who know whats up.
Having a decent forming up at the airfields, scramble and GO !
3 bomb targets and cameras ready to roll.

Also in on the recce flights for other set ups.

MY MIND IS NEVER AT REST REGARDING BOP. (Damn it)
