Mission 7
http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/attac...chmentid=21520
B-17 #5 – El Duderino Pilot ENDelt260 (6) Copilot SNR (6) Bombardier Garcia Bronco (6) Navigator philfree (6) Engineer Talisman (6) Radio Op. AJKCFAN (6) Tail Gunner Radar Chief (6) Ball Turret Gunner hawaiianboy (6) Right Waist Gunner Scaga (6) Left Waist Gunner Fat Elvis (1) Target: Rotterdam Mid-formation horizontally, high vertically Zone 1 Out: Britain No enemy Zone 2 Out: English Channel No enemy Zone 3 Out: North Sea No enemy Zone 4 Out: Netherlands (Entering Target Zone) 5 Fw190s attack Hawaiianboy fires, misses Talisman fires, kills Fw190 Radar chief fires, misses Fat elvis fires, misses Scaga fires, misses Garcia bronco fires, misses Philfree fires, misses Fw misses, breaks off attack Fw scores 1 hit -superficial damage to radio room Fw strafes in from 3 o’clock high, scores 6 hits -superficial damage to starboard wing -superficial damage to starboard wing -ball turret – Hawaiianboy’s heat is knocked out. It gets cold fast in that ball turret, too. -superficial damage to tail -port wing flap out -port wing - #1 outboard engine goes up in a stream of sparks and flame, starts cutting out. Enddelt keeps the plane under control while SNR tries to adjust power. Unfortunately, the damage won’t allow the engine to be stopped and feathered, so the engine continues to sputter, but with little power. El Duderino is not going to be able to keep up with the rest of the formation, and begins dropping back. Fw strafes in and banks from 9 o’clock high, scores 9 hits from front to back (El Duderino has run into some veteran Nazis.) -nose – Garcia bronco sustains light wound to mid chest -nose – philfree sustains light wound to left foot -superficial damage to pilot compartment -port wing root damaged -superficial damage to bomb bay -superficial damage to radio room -waist – left waist gun is knocked out of commission (Fat Elvis is fine, but ticked off.) -waist – right waist gun is knocked out of commission (scaga is okay, but ticked off.) -superficial damage to tail 3 Fws circle, attack again Radar chief fires, misses Talisman fires, misses Hawaiianboy fires, misses Garcia bronco fires, misses Philfree fires, kills Fw190 Fw misses, breaks off attack Fw scores 2 hits -superficial damage to port wing -superficial damage to nose Fw circles, attacks again Radar chief fires, misses Talisman fires, damages Fw190 Damaged Fw misses, breaks off attack Entering Bomb Zone Good Weather Medium Flak - misses Despite blood staining the front of his flight suit, Garcia bronco lines up and does his job – 30% score El Duderino is falling back fast, and Hawaiianboy is going to be under pressure with both waist guns out. Enddelt makes the decision to drop down to 10,000 feet and try to sneak out of occupied territory unobserved. El Duderino is limping along with the sputtering engine, which is actually worse than having the engine completely die, so its cruising speed is cut almost in half. It’s a sitting duck for fighters, so all the gunners get their adrenaline pumping. Even though they’re not familiar with the front guns, Scaga and Fat Elvis move up to the nose and take over the nose gun and cheek guns for the wounded bombardier and navigator. This frees a limping philfree up to be the full-time navigator on the lonely trip home, and Garcia bronco heads toward the back of the plane to tend his wound and be ready in case help is needed at the ball turret or tail gun. Zone 4 Back: Netherlands (Leaving Target Zone) 1 Me109, 1 Me110 attack Radar chief fires, damages Me110 Talisman fires, misses Hawaiianboy fires, misses scaga fires, misses Damaged Me misses, breaks off attack. 1 Me misses, circles and attacks again since El Duderino is out of formation Fat Elvis fires, kills Me109 scaga fires, misses 1 Fw190, 3 Me109s attack – 1 Me109 is driven away by a fighter that happens to see the attack. Radar chief fires, misses Talisman fires, kills Me109 Ajkcfan fires, misses Hawaiianboy fires, misses Fw misses, circles again Me misses, circles again Hawaiianboy fires, misses Talisman fires, kills Me109 scaga fires, misses Fat Elvis fires, misses Fw misses, circles again Fat Elvis fires, misses Talisman fires, misses 2 Me109s, 1 Me110 attack Radar chief fires, misses Talisman fires, misses Hawaiianboy fires, misses Fat Elvis fires, misses 2 Mes miss Me scores 3 hits -superficial damage to port wing -port wing – the damaged flap is blown off the plane -superficial damage to waist 2 Me109s, 1 Me110 circle, attack again Fat Elvis fires, damages Me109 Hawaiianboy fires, kills Me109 Radar chief fires, misses Talisman fires, misses Damaged Me misses, breaks off attack Me110 scores 2 hits -superficial damage to pilot compartment -superficial damage to pilot compartment Me circles, attacks again Fat Elvis fires, misses Radar chief fires, misses Me scores 1 hit -superficial damage to pilot compartment Me breaks off attack 2 Fw190s attack Radar chief fires, misses Talisman fires, misses scaga fires, misses Fw scores 1 hit -superficial damage to radio room Fw scores 2 hits -pilot compartment – Enddelt suffers light wound to the right forearm. SNR takes the controls. -nose – scaga suffers light wound to the left chest 2 Fws circle, attack again Garcia Bronco, more accustomed to the front guns, moves back to the front of the plane and scaga moves back to the waist. Radar chief fires, kills Fw190 Hawaiianboy fires, misses Fw scores 2 hits -superficial damage to nose -radio room – radio is now inoperable. Ditching in the water would be a very bad thing since El Duderino’s position can’t be broadcast. Fw circles, attacks again Talisman fires, damages Fw190 Radar chief fires, kills Fw190 with simultaneous hit Zone 3 Back: North Sea El Duderino continues to slog back at half speed, and the Germans have sighted in on the wounded bomber. The nose gun, top turret, and ball turret guns are running low on ammunition. 2 Fw190s attack Garcia bronco fires, misses Fat Elvis fires, misses Radar chief fires, kills Fw190 Fw misses, circles again Talisman fires, kills Fw190 Garcia bronco fires, misses 2 Fw190s, 1 Me109, 1 Me110 attack Radar chief fires, misses Talisman fires, kills Me109 Fat Elvis fires, misses 2 Fws miss Me110 scores 3 hits -superficial damage to starboard wing -superficial damage to tail -superficial damage to port wing 2 Fws, Me110 circle, attack again Hawaiianboy fires, misses Garcia bronco fires, misses Fat Elvis fires, misses Talisman fires, kills Fw190 Fw190, Me110 miss, circle again Radar chief fires, misses Talisman fires, misses Hawaiianboy fires, misses Fat Elvis fires, misses Fw190, Me110 miss, break off attack. Out of the waist gun window, scaga sees the Me110 pilot offer a salute as the planes pull away. Zone 2: English Channel No enemy Zone 1: England The weather is poor at the base, and the radio is not working, so SNR hopes that the runway is clear. The ground crews are stunned to hear the sound of a B-17, one engine sputtering and fighting, nearly two hours after the formation was due to return. Cheers arise as a battered El Duderino cuts through the cloud bank, wings inadvertently waggling, circles once to line up with the runway, and then bounces to a rough landing. El Duderino travels to the end of the runway, cuts power, and then circles involuntarily off the tarmac as the #1 engine continues to push it forward. The plane slows further in the mud and a ground crew member runs underneath to chock the wheels. Mission accomplished. Aftereffects None – Despite injuries to four crew members, the plane and the crew are easily repairable. Eligible for next mission Pilot ENDelt260 (6) Copilot SNR (6) Bombardier Garcia Bronco (6) Navigator philfree (6) Engineer Talisman (6) Radio Op. AJKCFAN (6) Tail Gunner Radar Chief (6) Ball Turret Gunner hawaiianboy (6) Right Waist Gunner Scaga (6) Left Waist Gunner Fat Elvis (1) That mission was friggin' scary. Luckily I was too busy killing Nazi's to get too worked up. ;) |
Jahaa! Sehr gut!
That was a team victory, guys. We all took part in that one. |
Would someone please give me some more ammo....I rarely even get a shot off. There's drunk and then there's stupid.....And I'm not drunk!

Is there some reason I don't even get a shot off?
All this $hit flying around and I'm no where to be seen..... Coward!!! |
I would suggest getting on Rain Man's tail about this, but if I were you, I"d be glad I was still alive.

B-17 #5 – El Duderino Pilot ENDelt260 (8) Copilot SNR (8) Bombardier Garcia Bronco (8) Navigator philfree (8) Engineer Talisman (8) Radio Op. AJKCFAN (8) Tail Gunner Radar Chief (8) Ball Turret Gunner hawaiianboy (8) Right Waist Gunner Scaga (8) Left Waist Gunner Fat Elvis (3) Target: Meaulte Mid-formation horizontally, high vertically (moderate vulnerability) Zone 1 Out: Britain No enemy Zone 2 Out: English Channel No enemy Zone 3 Out: France (Entering Target Zone) 2 Fw190s attack – 1 is driven off by fighters Garcia bronco fires, misses Talisman fires, misses Radar chief fires, misses Fw scores 1 hit -superficial damage to starboard wing Fw circles, attacks again Talisman fires, damages Fw190 Radar chief fires, kills the damaged Fw190 Entering Bomb Zone Good Weather Light Flak - misses Garcia Bronco is money in the bank – 40% score Zone 3 Out: France (Leaving Target Zone) 1 Fw190, 2 Me109s are driven off by fighters 2 Me110s are driven off by fighters Zone 2: English Channel 4 Me109s attack – 2 are driven off by fighters Garcia bronco fires, misses Talisman fires, misses Radar chief fires, misses Scaga fires, misses Me misses, breaks off attack Me scores 2 hits -tail – rudder is hit but still functional -BOOM! A shell hits scaga’s oxygen system in the right waist gun position. The system explodes, and scaga takes a fatal load of shattered metal to the stomach. Fat Elvis, at the left waist gun position, takes a serious wound to the lower back. The area is on fire, and ajkcfan rushes back from the radio room with an extinguisher, and is able to douse the flames. However, there is a large hole the size of a life preserver blown through the right side of the fuselage. It can’t be fixed, though, so ajkcfan moves back to his gun. Me circles, attacks again Hawaiianboy fires, misses Radarchief fires, misses Me misses, breaks off attack Zone 1: England Good weather Good landing Aftereffects Unfortunately, Fat Elvis succumbs to his injury the next day in the hospital. It was a bad mission for waist gunners. Eligible for next mission Pilot ENDelt260 (8) Copilot SNR (8) Bombardier Garcia Bronco (8) Navigator philfree (8) Engineer Talisman (8) Radio Op. AJKCFAN (8) Tail Gunner Radar Chief (8) Ball Turret Gunner hawaiianboy (8) Right Waist Gunner XXX Left Waist Gunner XXX A good bombing run, the one bad hit excluded. ============================================= RIP to the noble members of the Dude who gave their lives, Fat Elvis and Scaga. As El Duderino never fades, may our remembrance of these airmen never fade. |
RIP guys. :sulk:
Let me know if you want to reenlist. |
Some beer on the curb for our lost ones

Bandages get passed around. Good weather Endelt wheels the plane down to a good landing but can’t hit the brakes. He cuts the engines and the plane rolls down the length of the runway, sinking into the ground at the end of the base. There’s no significant damage, though, just a long walk back to the barracks.

AJKCFAN (10) Tail Gunner Radar Chief (10) Ball Turret Gunner hawaiianboy (10) Right Waist Gunner PennyWise (10) Left Waist Gunner tk13 (1) Target: The U-boat pens at Brest (western France) Mid-formation horizontally, high vertically (moderate vulnerability) Distance: 6 zones Brest is one of the most heavily defended targets of the war. 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. El duderino is now out of formation. No enemy Zone 3: North Sea No enemy Zone 2: English Channel No enemy Zone 1: England Good weather Good landing Aftereffects Alas, Garcia Bronco survives for 8 days in the hospital, but succumbs to his wounds.
