Six (ish) months in, on and off, loads of fun!

Iron Man mode, 131 sorties, 104 victories. I think this is my fifth career with PWCG and I've had a lot of lucky breaks. 29th May, 1942, still a long way to go but I doubt I'll make it to the end, it's a meat-grinder out there. ?

That’s quite a career you’re having. So far beating the odds and racking up victories. Way to go! 

[Cybermat47]

You’ve already beaten Galland’s ultimate score, so good work! At this point you can probably get away with becoming General der Jagdflieger (giving yourself around 3 years of leave) and only coming back when Me-262s are available

I like the leather flying jacket.  Care to share?

Even more of an accomplishment lately with the much improved AI gunnery and more accurate AAA/AA over the past few months.  Keep us informed of his progress/fate.  Good work!

There's a large number of them in a series covering a lot of WW2 subjects. The most I found in one place was a forum somewhere (lost in the mists of memory). This is the original leather jacket one. Your campaign generator doesn't match the bits up well so I 'hand craft' mine in PS.

Yeah, after a two-month break the improved gunnery shat the bejeezus out of me. I survived by luck and am now much less complacent.

 

Found them.

I know...right?!  My leading all time Iron Man ace is a Soviet flying Hurricanes - 85 kills.  I don't know exactly how many a/c he lost at this point, but he is just one lucky SoB.   Even when the new "improved" AAA took his wing off in a big "SURPRISE...OH SH!T" moment in route to a target, he still managed to get out and get back to his own lines.

 

Feeling that pucker factor resulting from an emotional attachment to a bunch of pixels, makes me thank @PatrickAWlson every time I load a PWCG mission!

When it's too wet to fly one can amuse oneself with paperwork. ?

So I was badly burned in a little mishap and they had to do some treatments...but I did look like this before, honest! ?

Yeah, slow Sunday.

Looks like Norman Rockwell did a Hartmann portrait.
