Around the 1/2 way point we picked up a couple 109 escorts. Within 2 minutes to target the spittys showed up and then a we had a massive fight. Spittys attacking the bombers, cannon shells from the 109s splattering all over the place, staying in formation we managed to drop our bombs.

All but 3 of us made it back home safe and sound. It was a good 2 hour sortie in a nice formation. One of the players that hopped in as a gunner even got a pilot kill. Not a single crash (even a launcher one at that :) ).

This is such a huge improvement for me. I wish it worked better for those having problems.

Edit: Doc shot this all on tape. Expect a video sometime in the near future ;)

@Ataros - Great post I hope everyone is sending their crash logs in and maybe giving a little summary of what they were doing when it happened. We were trying to get it to crash with formations and can't make it happen. Perhaps we'll get a group of 10 or more bombers in a formation tomorrow!

Good news Bliss ... BTW which target did you bomb?

As the Ju88 in Bliss's harrowing recount, I must say it was great fun getting harrased inbound and outbound by multiple allied fighters durring our sortie last night in the ATAG server.

No ctd for anyone in our bomber group:cool:

I want to see 20 manned bombers in formation next :grin::grin::grin::grin:

Good to here positive reports. Looking forward to the video. Please post it as a new thread in the main forums. Will attract more bombers to ATAG probably :grin: and encourage others who almost lost hope :)

This clearly shows there is progress. Most of the time we do not realize (including myself) how small the team is and how much trouble they are facing starting from 2008 crisis with all merges and personnel rotation :-x

Oleg mentioned that one of reasons for troubled launch was that they tried to implement too many features. Now they still have to deal with this complexity. It will take time. Send crash and bugreports please.

Tonight Krupi! Lets try and see how many bombers we can formate!

I'm with you! Can fly either 111 or 88!

I was on ATAG last night for a couple hours, not CTD and some good dogfights, I would be up for some bomber runs tonight as well, I will try and make it to.

Hey Bliss, ju88 was among my favourite plane in il2, in cloD since the release I'm confident and 'combat ready' only in spit Ia, give me some time to jump in a LW bomber and I'll join your formation!
Until then I'll intercept U!:-P:-P:-P
Cheers

20 bomber formation

Calling all Ju88s/he111 to Tramecourt tonight to test the new patch:grin: ATAG server of course!

20 bomber formation is the goal!

If anyone wants some Ju88/he111 instruction we can help!

Here is some Ju88 info:

... and personally i'll never blame them for being too ambitious
