This is somewhat risky with the plane still so far from home, but otherwise Ecto-I will be nearly certain to get severe frostbite.

It has beefed up flak AND beefed up fighter defenses. Best of luck, El Duderino Zone 1 Out: Britain No enemy Zone 2 Out: English Channel 2 Me109s are driven off by fighters Zone 3 Out: Western Channel No enemy Zone 4 Out: Western Channel No enemy Zone 5 Out: Western Channel – out of fighter coverage 1 Me109 attacks Hawaiianboy fires, kills Me109 Talisman fires, simultaneously kills the same Me109, creating a big ball of fire Zone 6 Out: France (Entering Target Zone) 1 Me110 driven off by B-17s 1 Me110 attacks Garcia bronco fires, misses Hawaiianboy fires, hits Me110 Radar chief fires, simultaneously kills the same Me110 1 Me109 attacks Garcia bronco fires, misses Radar chief fires, misses Me scores 2 hits -superficial damage to tail -superficial damage to radio room Me circles, attacks again Tk13 fires, misses Garcia bronco fires, misses Me scores 2 hits -superficial damage to pilot compartment -nose – Garcia bronco gets nailed, taking serious wounds to the left hip, mid-chest, and right chest Me circles, attacks again Philfree fires, misses Talisman fires, misses Me misses, breaks off attack Entering Bomb Zone Good Weather Heavy Flak – 5 hits -superficial damage to port wing -superficial damage to port wing -radio room – radio is knocked out of commission -starboard wing - #3 engine blows a puff of smoke and sputters to a stop -superficial damage to starboard wing It’s too late to turn back, so Endelt keeps the three-engined plane headed over the target, sans a conscious bombardier. Philfree shifts over and releases the bombs, but he’s inexperienced and they fall off target – 0% score Zone 6 Back: Germany (Leaving Target Zone) Endelt can keep up with the other planes now, and he tucks in tightly within the formation. The planes together drive off an attack by 1 Me110. 3 Me109s attack Radar chief fires, misses Hawaiianboy fires, misses Pennywise fires, hits Fw190 Talisman fires, misses 2 Fws miss, break off attack Fw scores 2 hits -superficial damage to port wing -superficial damage to tail Fw circles, attacks again Radar chief fires, misses Tk13 fires, misses Fw misses, breaks off attack 2 Me110s attack Talisman fires, misses Radar chief fires, misses Philfree fires, misses Me misses, breaks off attack Me scores 2 hits -radio room – radio is hit again and destroyed -waist – pennywise loses his heating system Me circles, attacks again Ajkcfan fires, misses Me misses, breaks off attack Zone 5: North Sea 5 Fw190s attack Philfree fires, misses Talisman fires, kills Fw190 Ajkcfan fires, misses Radar chief fires, hits Fw190 Tk13 fires, misses 4 Fws miss, break off attack Zone 4: North Sea – back in fighter range Endelt drops the plane out of formation and drops to 10,000 feet to keep pennywise from getting frostbite.

Two kills for me. I award myself a medal.
Why is it not suprising ENDelt's plane headed straight for Brest? |
Whew survived another one. Have two hits but no kills must be about a 25% chance of hitting.
