56RAF_Pod Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Good , good , I fly wing with Pod with the last IL 2 if possible Good to hear! I need some help, being away this long!
Lusekofte Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Ha ha you are talking to the king of the treetop landing crew , but I will do what I can
[DBS]Tx_Tip Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Are there any IL-2s left? If so, I'll take one, it's time I pre-ordered BoK... 2 Pe-2s remain along with a Spitfire Pericles... Rest all Full for Both sides...
Sky_Wolf Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 In that case I'll take a Spitfire.. hopefully I can provide air cover for the IL-2s, but happy to fly other missions if necessary.
216th_Lucas_From_Hell Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Tippers, put me down as a Spitfire standby please Edited October 11, 2017 by 216th_Lucas_From_Hell
Sky_Wolf Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Tip, I can fly a Pe-2 to make room for Lucas if that makes things easier.
[DBS]Tx_Tip Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 tip pls Switch over II/JG11TERZEROLE TO THE ONE REMAINING 109G2 THX Done.. It may work out that a [DBS] will fly 109 so Terzerole can fly 190. Tippers, put me down as a Spitfire standby please What??? On Friday the 13th to boot. Nice. Pericles and yourself can figure out who's flying what.
1./KG4_OldJames Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 On behalf of Klaw, (he's having problems logging on here) can he be standby for an He111 if there is not one available? Thanks
Sky_Wolf Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 I'll take a Pe-2 please, final answer. I don't want a Spitfire.

216th_Lucas_From_Hell Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 Excellent night, thanks a lot to everyone involved! I clocked two missions today, both escorting Il-2s alone in a Spitfire. During the first one our group was attacked by four Fw-190s over Krasnodar. I heavily damaged one, and after moments it plunged to the ground. First FNBF victory ever, I think! The following minutes were a blur. I was attacked by four Germans, occasionally met pairs but didn't engage, and finally found a straggler heading to his lines. After a long time stalking him and trying to catch up, I fired a few bursts and detached his left wing. While I did not see him fall, I know for one that airplanes need wings to fly! A while later after an hour in the air I landed with the returning Il-2s. The second one was much shorter - over Krasnodar, about 4-6 enemy aircraft came over us. Soon enough they were all onto me over the lake, and I suffered heavy damage. They finished me off before I could bail out, and that was the end of my night. Looking forward to the next one!

WWGriphos Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 First time flying bombers and it was quite a blast. Flying in formation, lining up on the targets, getting hunted and shot down....looking forward to future sorties. 1
1./KG4_OldJames Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 Sorry I missed half the second sortie, but i got a kill and an assist on the first sortie...my gunner would have claimed them, but he sadly perished.
FTC_Riksen Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 FNBF Friday the 13th was full of KILLS for the 4./JG52 Photos by Drifter 2
NN_Razor Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Bad mission. Misunderstanding beetween Il2 witch attack a different target than i thought we planed. no radio communication . And a spit alone who ofen trouble our group Edited October 14, 2017 by NN_Razor
Lusekofte Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 My evening ended in a kamikaze attack on a Tank................. Where can I deliver my resignation?
II/JG11_ATLAN_VR Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Nice Mission yesterday Fw190 Power had a nice time and a lot Kills and being killed thx to all! Salute II/JG11 Edited October 14, 2017 by II/JG11ATLAN 1
NN_Fahrenheit Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 Communication is a problem, using ingame mesge is not the best idea, whisper is ! When waiting for help, give exact position (square), altitude (yours and ennemy's one) and number of ennemies if known. As Razor said, a briefing was mad between Pe-2 and IL-2 but finally IL-2 made their own life on wrong target, no help from us when engaged 'cause over the Pe-2. Planeset was quite hard for this one, more Yak would have been appreciate against so much fighters instead of Spitfires. And last thing : i'm really disappointed to see guys using lights in fight. That's what i've seen in last fight against who i supposed to be TWB. On public server maybe but not on a serious campaign like FNBF guys, please. 4
Nocke Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 I thought we had agreed on going to 0832. There we went. But yes, seems like communication should be improved.
Chief_Mouser Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 I thought we had agreed on going to 0832. There we went. But yes, seems like communication should be improved. We had. It was said many times and agreed upon. I beg to submit that it was the Il-2s that went to the correct target! Cheers.
NN_Fahrenheit Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 One was on our channel during the briefing and Golgoth made it in english, he explained the strategy for the attack and then the scout. Maybe a misunderstanding. At least the job was done and we know now how to improve our comm'.
1PL-Husar-1Esk Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Sure communication is the key but is worth nothing if it is ignored. Edited October 14, 2017 by 307_Tomcat
NN_RugbyGoth Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 Sure communication is the key but is worth nothing if it is ignored. Can you be more specific about what was ignored? For what I remember you asked for help giving only the approx number of ennemies with you (4 on 1 if I recall well). In NN flight school we have a whole course on how to communicate and specifically when engaged. If you want help you should give at least position, altitude and heading (what we asked for when we were trying to catch you to help). The number of ennemies involved can be a plus, but clearly not the most important information. And of course, setting a whisper before going airborne can let your hands free to use your controls while fighting instead of typing such info Guys communication is the key, but not only "how" we communicate, "what" is also a big deal in success! Besides that, it was my first FNBF in ages and it was great despite I barely know the spit so my shots were all off. A bit confused to not have crossed any bomber thought... I have some live video, I'll try to make something with it :D See you next time!
216th_Lucas_From_Hell Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 I wouldn't overanalyse it. Tip's cheeky Wulfsbane concept made it a nightmare (though a fun one) both over Krasnodar and Maykop, with just about every square kilometer swarming with enemy fighters. Tomcat's directions were clear enough but the problem is that wherever you looked there was a big flight of enemies ready to engage. Next time we give them payback 1

Sure I would but this thread is not place for it, btw some information like enemy object position is enough (if enemy is capping it) and i know what information is needed to be useful. BTW whole asking for help would not be needed because we grouped together near Maykop and went North, then came the intel from our attacking planes. Edited October 14, 2017 by 307_Tomcat
Nocke Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 but ... then ... we are just a bunch of weirdos trying to have fun. At least the 216th will never, I hope, develop a military discipline. As much as that could help sometimes 3
13Nrv Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 "will never, I hope, develop a military discipline. As much as that could help sometimes" Hum ...it s way less "developing a military discipline" than increasing efficiency both for fighters and bombers . It s just about : my position /my alt /my direction and the ennemie ones, including their number and type . And it make a whole difference to know that , for our fighters and finally for us (bombers) and nothing prevent you or forbid you from telling all those essential elements by singing them . You are right , we are not in the army , but just keeping what is efficient and necessary in the military thing . who /where : alt and grid / how many / . We as bombers almost always fly with the NN as cover on Fnbf and also other servers / happenings too , it s really not about a military thing just that reporting those exact and essentials things improves efficiency drastically and make a whole difference between " you fly safe to base" and "you re downed by ennemies" Anyway it was a blast yesterday , even if (we Pe2's Golgoth +Bex + Pericles + me) have suffered a lot . Feel confident in contacting us on team speak , there s always one of us who speaks english , and when in our group there s a guy that is not of our native language (french) well we speak english + french ^^ , pericles can confirm this . And it s a good thing for us, as it provides us an opportunity to improve our english speaking Cheers 13 a Pe2 pilot who always feel much more confident and safe when he know the NN is covering his ass 1
CCG_bexhausted Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) @Fahrenheit Bad mission? You're too hard on yourself! I fly FNBF first to have fun flying with my friends. We do our best to fulfill the mission and it is even better if we accomplish our goals. I fly exclusively bomber so it's much easier when we have a good escort as yesterday. But you can not protect everyone everywhere! I do not think anybody is grieving you for being shot. Everyone must have fun even our friendly enemies! I hope you will be there next week my friend with as many NNs as possible. And i agree toyally with 13NRV. No military discipline is needed. But a clear warning message would be better (indeed i'am not sure i can delivered such a message in panic ! ). >>Written with Google Translation. I am not as good english speaking as my bomber teammate. Edited October 14, 2017 by -LaFrench-bexhausted
NN_Fahrenheit Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Hey Bex, relis plus haut, cette citation appartient plutôt à Razor. On fera mieux la prochaine fois, je suis d'accord avec 216th_Lucas_From_Hell ! Pas de discipline militaire au NN, on essaie juste d'avoir des comm' efficaces en combat. Hey Bex, read againg above, this was written by Razor. We'll do best next time, agree with 216th_Lucas_From_Hell ! And there's no military discipline with NN, only try to have efficient comm' during fight. Edited October 14, 2017 by NN_Fahrenheit
CCG_bexhausted Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 @Fahrenheit Yes my bad ! But ...hum...you understand better now why my communications are clumsy. And ...Razor is my friend too ! I repeat you have no reason to be disappointed.
II/JG11_ATLAN_VR Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Hi Reds Dont take IT too serious its still just game for fun.we in the mixed 190 german croatian American? channel had a Lot of fun ,Pauke Pauke ,by the way the 190 can be a Deadly weapon in the right hands'salut Edited October 14, 2017 by II/JG11ATLAN
CCG_bexhausted Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 The reds are not at all serious. We just want you to think we are serious.

1./KG4_OldJames Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 Nice Mission yesterday Fw190 Power had a nice time and a lot Kills and being killed thx to all! Salute II/JG11 No offence, but that line up in the first pic looks like a proper flying circus!
Sky_Wolf Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 Great flight yesterday... I agree that communication could be increased. Here's a video of highlights from one sortie flown by the Pe-2s yesterday (Golgoth, Bex, 13NRV, and me). Only one Pe-2 made it back... lucky to be a Pe-2 pilot in virtual reality in the year 2017. 4
CCG_bexhausted Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 Great video Pericles ! Very good AAR. No more to add. But...you missed one litlle funny thing at the end of my landing ....and I thank you very much for omitting my final mistake. But the truth must break out ! I am the only Pe2 to have come home safely without even a scratch on my painting. Certainly in solidarity with my comrades whose plane was destroyed I mistaken of touch on my joystick and ... I retracted my landing gear! Result: my plane crashed gently. My crew (Golgoth, 13NRV) was safe. No Pe2 escaped from the last mission. Pericles, looking forward to fly with you, it was a pleasure !
