216th_Lucas_From_Hell 1730 Posted June 2, 2018 Thanks a million for organising this, Tip. Had a very fun evening with the Il-2s, I managed to land all three aircraft at the end of each sortie, and we collectively did a perfect five out of five in the last mission! Our brave escorts Alex and Chanceless were very busy throughout the mission, always outnumbered but doing their best to fend off the incessant Bf-109s. A huge thank you to our NN friends for assisting whenever they could! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

216th_Lucas_From_Hell 1730 Posted June 2, 2018 Two live photos from the first mission: Enjoying a nice close formation with Cat (#16) and Pod (#21). After an eventful time over target, I was busy trying to escape with the other survivors to investigate why was my Il-2 requiring almost full roll input to fly level. Near the base, I found the answer: 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[DBS]Tx_Tip 677 Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) Having a blast destroying ground targets with your pards whilst evading some real killers out there defined what FNBF was all about for us ground pounders... And what a cast of characters that joined in. Peterla, Baron, 307th, Etherlight, Vade, Doc Zebra, the 9./JG52, 4./JG52, -LaFrench- and LaL squads to name just a few. Unfortunately due to the accidental purge we lost several hundred replies chock full of screenies, vids and hubris from the first year. Still plenty though. Over 85 pages. Appreciate the sticky Haas. Here are a couple recollections of good times... The game itself and the demanding ME caused some interesting scenarios. Never easy for most to destroy. Tanks non the less lit up with spectacular regularity while they were getting the DM settled. A missed counter link sets up Peterla, Jordan and the rest with a field day as those 61 MkIVs just kept spawning and rolling to their doom during the "Crucible" Mission. "Did you guys really pop 60 tanks?" I seem to recall 55th_Lucas asking after the AAR came out. LoL... In a true "Circle of Death". 214th ShAD Il2s decimated three separate panzer attacks... I can't tell you how many times we fired up the LaGG for some good 'ol fashion ground pounding... We used the LaGG alot back in the beginning. Still one of my favorites to fly. Albeit to my demise much too often. Mission "Epilogue!" targeting sent out via PM to those who have signed up on this Forum. Forward to those you have signed up. If you signed up and didn't get Give a Holl'er. See ya's, Tip Edited June 8, 2018 by [DBS]Tx_Tip 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LuseKofte 1420 Posted June 8, 2018 Last FNBF and my first hardware problems during all these events surfaced. a restart quickly solved the problem. Thank you for all these friday night highlights. For this I am grateful. And thank you for having JU 52´s in the last event. That was really special to me. I hope you understand the importance of your work and how appreciated it was for so many. I would not have flown this game for so long if it has not been for this event. Again many thanks 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
