There were just 2 of III./JG27 participating, due to the wide spread experience with the launcher.exe problem and we two were expecting to crash out any second, so it was hard to enjoy the flight or take it seriously (you don´t care so much anymore when you expect to crash any second). We were just two 109 so barely enough to contribute or achieve the objectiv of an advanced sweep over Dover. Anyhow, we took off and climbed to 6400m. On the way to Dover we were disctracted by some lonely LW planes flying around here and there. Over Dover it was all quiet and clear until it became appearant, that all the bombers were on a low level raid and no more will come on heights I thought they would. So we dived down, I scared a Spit of 3 Do17s and that seemed to be all. Later we went further down, to investigate was going on there around Dover. There I helped a bleeding 109 and scared off a Hurricane of his tail, when I was attacked by another Hurricane, I could evade and the Hurricane spun into the channel after a few (not serious) hits. Then a string of Hurricanes came down on me and there was no more getting away. My squadmate had an AAA hit and so I had to fight it out and ended in a collision, lost 0,5 wing but limped off closer to the coast, so I wouldn´t have to swim that far.
My experience is that more then 4 (6max) players on one comm-channel is more a nuisance than a help and it is hard to structure and organize groups (whisper keys to channel commanders etc) and we usaully communicate in our mother tongue, that`s why we stayed on our own TS.
Thanks for your work 5.JG27, it is a good start.
