I actually lost my notes for that mission. It was an attack on Vickers or Vickers-Armstrong ship or aircraft or both factory... Ive been trying to find the info I used after my mother board went pop so if you could help that would be great?

Did you see the target get hit? The whole dockside was blown to bits! The Ai dropped perfrectly!

After the bombers turned around I counted 17 of them with one looking very poorly indeed! So considering there was 27 to start with and one crashed near calais to begin with they must have taken a real mauling! I spotted some later by Eastchurch totally off course at 500 metres creeping back to France. I dont know if they made it back.

Just as I was comming into land the server exited Steam

The blues seemed to die off towards the end of the campaign. I'd like to know why. Still target rich enviroment was nice.

Thanks for comming everyone hope you enjoyed it. Please also see here:

Nice mission.

56 were caught out a little with the bombers arriving much earlier than I anticipated (I expected an hour of waiting). That meant we were still on our way to the estuary and immediately over the docks when the bombers arrived We dropped on them almost directly over the docks. Some of our guys saw the explosions.
Unfortunately some escorting 109s had got past our Spitfires and we were jumped very quickly. I got hit by a 109 making my second attack on the bombers and I lost half my left wing. Unfortunately Hurricanes no longer fly with half a wing, a bad show in my opinion!

I didn't suffer bad frame rates, just a few stutters as we attacked the bombers.


Thanks to all you guys that put it together. There were teething problems and the Radar still has to be fixed but it was good experience and we were given useful 'intelligence' in the last mission.

i think they had a plan of some staying with the bombers and other freely fighting, as we attacked the 109;s in the in the spits just northwest of manston. got into a turning fight with 3 of them, by the time these dove away they bombers had gone. whenever we tried to catch up with the bombers we were running into singles and groups of 2.

great mission cheers guys

I ordered my Staffel into Rotten (pairs), Trying to keep Schwarm formation with the slow bombers was to awkward. As it was september we stuck with the bombers. So essentially the bombers were a moving rally point.

I heard someone parachuted into Hyde park?

Sorry I couldn't make the last two, but thanks to Farber and team.

One of the most interesting things I think was that on the Red side throughout the campaign we suffered from lacking an overall mission commander who could decide when to finally commit our forces.

When left to COs, including me (I tend to be a bit cautious), no one person had the overall picture or the authority to act in a strategic way.

Educational for me at least.

I think the lack of Radar made it impossible to make fluid decisions whether by AOC or by CO discussion.

I would be interested to hear from the Blues how they organised themselves and made their tactical decisions.

Perhaps it wasn't Sept 7th but it was the same approach. That day was quiet, the calm before the storm, and when the plots appeared in the very late afternoon FC thought it would be more of the same airfield attacks - the RAF was nearly on her knees, but no, they were relieved to see the heading go toward London. Isle of Dogs and the eastern docklands were struck in this raid.

On my second pass on the group just before I fired I saw the bombs drop out of the bellies of the Hun dogs, then I let rip. I received fire from behind during and after my pass, at first thinking it was air gunnery. New graphics from the patch were a pleasant surprise - smashed gauges, gunsight and canopy, and a beautiful rendering of shattered armoured glass in the front. Time to get out, I bailed and parachuted into Islington.

No.501 certainly mauled the main group and although we had 2 shot up I lived and the other landed damaged into Gravesend. All of our chaps got home after spending their ammunition. I think No.401 hit the bombers before us, No.56 afterwards, and No.64 and No.41 did a great job by intercepting fighters ahead of that. No.71 got stuck in but took a bit of a hammering being the first in line.

Well done all round.

My mistake, one of our chaps just reported that as his position. It's really cool looking down on those features in London

A bit stuttery but playable, hopefully that will improve further anyway.

Basically I put up the brief, a map of where the bombers where going and the target and a blank map. If no one put up any plans I put up the historical plan - which was generally a Frei-jagd fighter sweep slightly ahead of the bombers.
