FTC_Karaya Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 Late to the party... Here's a video of last week's action 4
Retnek Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Late to the party... Very nice, thx. Interesting to see this kind of report from the other side, now. Lessons learned for the Pe-2: stay together CLOSE else you're picked one by one, lead shouldn't go too fast. And a little variation in formation is helpful against fighters who do shoot and scoot. Oh, where are the old-school-knights coming in slowly from behind, a honest duel with our tiny little 13-mm ...? (Nocke, we both got the correct targets, my bad luck to cross your bombs that very moment) Edited May 5, 2017 by 216th_Retnek
Lusekofte Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 Lessons learned for the Pe-2: stay together CLOSE else you're picked one by one, lead shouldn't go too fast. If you see on the video to Karaya, Nocke did a mistake in chat and told in chat to all that you where going to Zety. Done it myself, deadly mistake
[DBS]Tx_Tip Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) I can't make this one sorry Copy that. Nice Vid Karaya... 2 109Gs are now available Karaya? Etherlight? Vade? Make that 1 109G-2 available.... Edited May 5, 2017 by [DBS]Tx_Tip
Norbiee Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 Thanks Tip for the fun 3 Seperate cargo drop missions, I was pushing the engine so hard it started smoking :D Success tho! Here are some pictures and the crazy turn angles i had to do to save time. I would like to say a massive thank you to the BF109g2 s for protecting my drop zone all 3 times even tho they were never needed 2
Lusekofte Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Due to lack of Bomberpilots on Red side I switched to PE 2 and flew wing with Bladebender He led us to two successful missions . Had to go after that. Many thanks Blade , it was fun Edited May 5, 2017 by 216th_LuseKofte
II/JG11_ATLAN_VR Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) AAAAACTION!!!! we enjoyed it with our two 109G2s now with 20mm gunpods heavy fight with IL2´s and Yak´s result II/JG11 PUMA KILLS 2 II/JG11 ATLAN KILLED 2 as usual great Mission thx all Edited May 6, 2017 by II/JG11ATLAN 2
Chief_Mouser Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) That first Il-2 down is me. I'd already picked up a couple of flak hits, one of which had smashed the bullet-proof glass on the windscreen and the gunsight, so I couldn't see straight and was on my way home before anyone found me. Except that you did! With the extra damage you dealt out dumping my plane in the grass was the safest option before you blew me to bits . Cheers. Flak coming from behind me over the left wing-root wrecked the instruments and split the sight in two. The bullet-proof glass has been smashed from the inside! That'll teach me to keep the canopy closed in future... lucky it wasn't my head. Edited May 6, 2017 by 216th_Cat 3

Norbiee Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 oh wow AA shell went through from behind and in front of your face? Thats a story to tell your comrades when you got back to them
SCG_happy_meal Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) FNBF now sponsored by Marlboro! When the two side did meetup to party so did everyone start smoking, and that's bad for your health as we did discover. Edited May 6, 2017 by 5./ZG1_happy_meal 2
1./KG4_ReggiePerrin Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 Thanks for a great time last night, it was a blast, i look forward to flying with you all again... and next time i'll remember to bring Tequila's, a sombrero, and a pair of sunglasses (formation flying into the sun...interesting) 1
[DBS]Tx_Tip Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 Just a fine Cinco de Mayo and, as I was informed by my Dutch pards, an excellent Liberation Day as well... Nice pics. Noribee rode those Aunties like rented mules. Whoop. Heinkel crews stave off being sent to Penal Battalions and fierce action across the map. Great stuff... 1
216th_Peterla Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 Hi all, Some pics of my last sortie as a fighter...with no too much luck. Being intercepted by Schuck. Sadly I jumped too low and the parachute didn't open . I will post more pictures of the IL2 action later. 2
216th_Peterla Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 Some pics from the IL2 attacks. We were engaged often by enemy fighters and our escorts do well protecting us, even with some of us going down they do their best. Thanks for the effort guys! I had a fight with a 109 flying on the deck that was surprisingly lazy in turns and climbs, until I saw later that they were armed with gunpods. I almost had it but it was tough and after he started to gain some altitude I manage to escape when I also run out of ammo. 1
[DBS]Tx_Tip Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 Nice pics Peter... Yep was wondering if it would be able to sink the barge. Apparently so as the ship never made it to dock. The Volga is now officially cause concern... On the 2nd Sortie airdoc and myself had a birds eye view as JG5 harried a Peska below... First sortie attack on Priverh Factory Dock Complex... 1
Nocke Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 The heroes of the 216th mixed air division up for another sortie in defence of the motherland: My first sortie was not that long - a well placed and spectacular AAA hit put it to an end: To my big surprise I survived. Next sortie - this one was to be thrilling. Attacking stuff here and there, this AAA position was close to seeing its end: Then appearance of Airdoc to the scene: ... but the gunner bites back! Trying to make it back to Tatyanka in the barely flying crate. Landing strip in sight - alas, another 109 attacking ... But this ones makes a BIG mistake, overshoots, and the 23mm reaches out About to land - the message pops up that Tatyanka is disabled. So I headed north to Ahtuba, arrived there with my last 15 liters of fuel and managed to put it down softly. It felt so great to come back alive from that adventure, thx Tip for making all this possible! There was then another nice sortie with Peterla, killed some tanks and stuff, but this sortie was unique for me. 5
216th_Peterla Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 Nice one Nocke! In the last one we were very effective working together with the armor. S!
[DBS]Tx_Tip Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 Great screens and AAR there Nocke. Must of hit your fuel tank for the IL2 to blow apart like that...

II/JG11_ATLAN_VR Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 Or my squad mate II/JG11 PUMA i thought i was shot down by a yak ??? TO BE CONTINUED HEHE
[DBS]Tx_Tip Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 ... I'm away for the next couple of weeks but looking forward to getting back into the saddle after that. Cheers. And so is FNBF as the building which houses our server will be going under renovation so the power will be turned off. Starting Fri May 19th - 21st then again Fri May 26th - 28th. We are at a crucial point in the campaign. Having 1 week on then 2 weeks off at this stage has me considering whether or nor to just take the 3 weeks off now. Anyway AAR coming up later... Tip
Nocke Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 Or my squad mate II/JG11 PUMA i thought i was shot down by a yak ??? TO BE CONTINUED HEHE Yep - that was Puma, just looked it up. Cheers!
Lusekofte Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 Yes it might be wise to just take 3 weeks off, better to have regularity on the campaign. Soon summer season is upon northern hemisphere also. less activity is to be expected from June to September
[DBS]Tx_Tip Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 Friday Night Bomber Flights Mission May 5th "Maelstorm!" AAR Pilot Stats* Whew!!! Some serious ground pounding and air to air action out there. Well Flown All!Participation makes it Happen.See ya's,Tip
Chief_Mouser Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 On a totally selfish note... take the three weeks off, then I won't (hopefully) miss anything Cheers.
SCG_happy_meal Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 On a totally selfish note... take the three weeks off, then I won't (hopefully) miss anything Cheers. Wait, did you only got 3 weeks gulag for not closing that canopy in accordance with the party guidelines? Stalin must like you
216th_Jordan Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Oh no! Now I got time and now it stops for 3 weeks
Nocke Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Omg... For me that means 6 weeks without FNBF from now. I just hope you haven't driven them back to Berlin before I am back ..
1.JaVA_BlGGLES Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Hi ATLAN, It was me in A Yak1B with a red tail who shot you down. When you tried to snatch one of my team mates! It was A short burst! I think I hit your Office room! Cheers Biggles Edited May 9, 2017 by 1.JaVA_Biggles 1
