Suggestion for new Bombing session:

Session: Strike
Map: Berlin
Time: Night
Weather: Clear

Allies:
Bombers: B-17
Cover: P-51
Take off from: Schönefeld

Axis:
Defenders: Fw190 f8
Stationed at Tempelhof


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 . . .. 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.
