Later last night we really beat the Brits like a red headed step child.
Thanks to awesome power of the Ju-88 and Bf-110 and great help from Bf-109 pilots going in front and dragging the RAF low (Thank you Tonka!), all targetrs went down in just over an hour.
Pure blitzkrieg.


After RAF pilots signed the surrender papers, we made them wash our bombers and play Luftwaffe Marches.

That must have been after 56RAF left
We hacked down quite a few 109s and Do17s.

Is it politically correct to say "we really beat the Brits like a red headed step child".

My daughter is red headed though not a step child. She wants to know if you play WoW or LOTRO etc., so she can hunt you down and show you what a red headed child can do.

Be afraid!

Between red headed step childs, Blitzkrieg and Br20's it sounds like you guys were having fun

I believe we got our own back in the next mission

And I seem to recall a 110 that had its wing blown off from a 1/4 second burst of Spitfire .303s

That was quite a shock. I just saw a big fireball and my wing was gone. I was like: WTF? HAX!!

It was a long swim back to france.
Your Blenheims did a great job. Got all the ships in one pass. Very impressive.

Just before we got the final target, I was lining up on another 110 near Boulogne. Just about to give him a squirt and CTD >

It's funny how some nights the game is an absolute joy to play and other nights you want to uninstall and flail your arms like a demented octopus. Not even talking about the CTDs here.

I think I definitely enjoy the game a LOT more when people are taking care of objectives rather than just looking for prey. For that reason I almost always exclusively do escort work for the bombers now or patrol our objectives in defense.

I just hacked 2 Hurris and 3 or 4 Wellies on ATAG, but the fun was somehow ruined by the sight of the first Hurri flying with half a wing missing, turning and going back home. It was eventually declared downed later, much later, as AI, I guess that he just landed and respawned.

Yeh, it's a bit off putting when the visual damage model is at odds with the physical, I had the old exploding 109 the other night, big fireball and he just carried on flying

[Insuber]

Yeah playing CloD is frustrating because a great project is put off by a quantity of bugs. You see them at TO, combat, cruising etc. In just every situation there are some bugs showing off.

I've just found a new bug, the invisible cockpit: after landing and turning off the engine, when your plane vanishes and you are suspended 10 feet high in the air, the clickable cockpit labels still pop out when overing the mouse around.

Have you flown the Hurricane with half a wing missing? It's not exactly easy.

I've had this happen to me a couple of times. Flying it back to base is very difficult and you have no possibility to do any real evasive moves without going into a spin. Attacking anything other than a target that is unaware or unable/unwilling to evade is pretty much impossible.

Plenty of real planes took damage like this and flew back home if enough of the wing was left to create lift on that side.

I find the exploding 109 thing far more frustrating from a DM point of view. I watched a 109 explode not once, but TWICE and keep flying along and evading and ATTACKING.
