  • I'm currently off work with illness. In the meantime I am creating some small missions for the guys to complete. Today I ask them to defend Biggin Hill airfield in 1940 England from a Luftwaffe JU-88 and FW-190 raid. This is not a realistic re-enactment but rather a fun intercept. Let's see how the boys do!

    Fire: my condolences on the collision, but, boy was it photogenic! The tail of that bomber went right through your plane like an hot knife through butter. Plus, you hit it a full combat velocity, which sent your 2 severed parts flying in opposite directions.
    This is why we attack from the rear.

    Only yesterday I watched "The Shamrock Spitfire", about the tragically short, yet brilliant career of Brendan 'Paddy' Fincane. He was credited with 28 kills and became the youngest Wing Commander in RAF history at 21! He led No. 452 Squadron (Australians from the RAAF including Keith 'Bluey' Truscott).
    It's a low-budget work, but very well done in my opinion. I expected it to be a complete farce and was rather pleasantly surprised by it.
    I found this video to be very interesting for the differences in the video. There was a definite difference in sound quality/performance (?) that I put down to a difference in software/hardware/settings (?). NOT a complaint - just something I noted and found interesting.
    Well done all round lads! My only suggestion would be "more Spits, less Jugs!" lol

    It's only 4 fighters, but one of those probably is full of cannons, while the other three have 6 or 8 .50 cals. Quite a lot more firepower than the Hurricanes and Spitfires would have had.

    @aztec0112 25 днів тому +1

    I've seen elsewhere that the lead bomber should be made "immortal" in the ME, because if you shoot it down, it can disrupt the whole formation and prevent execution of the task.
    Also, vertical pure pursuit, is still pure pursuit. If you don't take the formations forward movement into consideration, your pursuit curve will flatten out and put you in a tail chase whether it's vertical or lateral (a tail chase is also pure pursuit).
