My first FNBF mission: Was great. Thx a lot for the organization 👍

 

I will fly again with you, for sure!

@TG1_Nil

Russian tank spawn point between Kalach and Cherkasov. You were flying SE along the river.

 

EDIT: Just checked the track - you were crossing the river and over 5km distance from me. No wonder you never noticed .

Cheers.

i ve got a record of these flights bex ....(no remarquable screenshots to show  though)...   

yep thx to our NN friends , and to the french spit who escorts us on our  second run ( therion ? ) ....and also to the two La 5 Fn   who have also escort us with the spit  : they were the two contacts i ve spotted  circling around us ... they do escort us to the target and also on our RTB ... at least 25 % of the travel  back .    Thank you guys !

 

Concerning the ennemy spotted on our Base when we were just about to land , it was a  He 111  flying real high  5000 ? and alone .... he launched two bombs and destroy a fuel reserve on our base ...no escort nothing else than a high loner 111 ....

 

It was a cool mission ...  a nice restart ....AND I M SOOOOOOO happy Fnbf are back !!!!!!!

May be there was not any radio beacon I guess. Depend if the mission builder put one or not.

The first He111 mission there were two of us, and I totally missed the fuel dumps, then my real-life high command decided I should stop flying for the night. So I am glad to read that the my mission was successfully completed by my wingman later.  All good stuff, thanks to all who took part, and to [DBS]Tx_Tip for setting it all up.

Embarrassing flight for me. I stuck to my flight leader like glue, but we never saw much to attack. I’m so used to flying Axis that when we finally saw some Russian T-34 tanks, I quickly dropped my bombs on them. Luckily, my aim was bad and I did no damage!  And my flight was polite enough not to call me out for attacking my own tanks!!

 

Then I was shot down by a sneaky 109. 

 

At least I destroyed two bridges. 

 

Thanks again, TX_Tip, for all the hard work and hosting. Great to be back in the virtual skies fighting again!

Great job ! 

[F/JG300_Faucon 198]

Just to be sure, i guess there won't be a FNBF mission this week?

[NN_Razor 83]

Why not? Something i didn't see?

 

 

[Asgar 1072]

i just hope i don't miss it 😄

[II/JG11ATLAN 266]

Up to now I dont see any New mission the only one to answer is Tip😲

[[DBS]Tx_Tip 677]

Whups. Should of posted this on the AAR. I will be busy with Biz for the next few weeks so no time to do it up properly. Additionally I expect some update activity on the game front.

Look for a heads up post.

Tip

[NN_Razor 83]

Ok, i've got more time to train after so long time off! Thanks Tip! 

[[DBS]Tx_Tip 677]

Next Mission September 14th @ 19:00 UTC:

Perhaps we'll have the netcode update and a new aircraft to play around with. 

See ya's,

Tip

Signups are Sunday - the mission is the following Friday. We can bag a spot for you if you're available then?

[216th_Retnek 265]

Aaah, now I see - thank you for the clarification. Next Friday is much better - a red spot, please!

[JG5_Schuck 251]

If you can pencil me in for a 262 please Tip........ 

 

Seriously, im going to be 50/50. (driving back from Scotland Friday!!)

So a reserve blue fighter or transport please.

 

Many Thanks.

 

And if i don't make it..... good luck, and have fun!

I would also be happy with a red spot-preferably with some bombs,fat rockets and 23mm guns!
