JG13_Admax and I took Bf 109E-3's out of Coquelles and escorted the gaggle of stukas over towards Dover. We were unable to communicate with the rest of Axis due to being kicked from teamspeak every 2 minutes, and this really hampered our ability to contribute to the team, I think

As it was, we encountered two Hurricanes up high between Dover and Manston, getting a confirmed kill on the first and a probable on the second about 10 minutes later.

We engaged offensively on two spitfires at about 5000 metres but were interrupted by RAF single-engines coming in above us and were forced to extend away. I took some hits to my coolant line in the process, but eventually we gained the altitude advantage and the spitfires dove low for home. It was at this point the bombers we were supposed to be escorting were beyond visual range, but without Teamspeak there was no way to know where it was they had gone.

We then spent the next 20-30 minutes stalking what eventually turned out to be 2 ghosts midway between Dover and Calais

At that point my engine blew a gasket and the governor, forcing me to glide back to Coquelles, engine-out. Admax followed and we called it a day.

Thanks 5./JG27 for hosting! We had fun despite the setbacks, looking forward to next week for sure.
