Let's see who makes it to a dirty dozen.

**Iowanian** · 04-15-2004, 08:47 AM

You can't kill me kevin. I'm superman.

**alanm** · 04-16-2004, 01:47 AM

I was kinda hoping to see if the Sack Time was going to get off the ground before Saturday morning. Not that I'm in any hurry to die mind you

But I'm heading out to Lincoln to catch the Red/White spring game(football) on Saturday afternoon.

I'll do my best to get it posted tonight. Been a bit of a hectic week...again.

Hydrae fires, kills Me109
Gh4chiefs fires, misses
Fat Elvis fires, misses

Fw, 2 Mes miss, break off attack

Zone 2: English Channel

Special Ed drops out of formation so that Zebedee won’t get frostbite. This is somewhat problematic since the plane doesn’t have navigation equipment. To make it worse, a weather front has come in, and visibility is dropping fast. Seclark is working furiously to keep track of the plane’s position and use dead reckoning to get back to base.

3 Me109s attack – 1 is driven away by fighters

Hydrae fires, misses
Kc2003 fires, misses
Gh4chiefs fires, misses

2 Mes, miss, break off attack

Zone 1: England

Bad weather – rain and clouds
Seclark has tried to keep track of the plane’s position, but without navigation equipment and visual sightings he’s relying only on radio contacts via redhed. With visibility near zero, the B-17 has no choice but to stay at altitude, flying north to attempt to get out of the storm front. The flight home drags on as the plane heads north, communicating with invisible radar stations to estimate its position. Two hours later, a runway near Edinborough reports moderate visibility, and Special Ed heads toward it. Dropping to only 500 feet, Sack Time finally finds an opening through the clouds, and buzzes Scotland until seclark can find the base. After that, it’s easy, and Special Ed slides the plane to a smooth stop. The crew relaxes for the night at a naval base before ferrying Sack Time back home two days later.

Nice bombing Pastor! Too bad they got their revenge though.

PastorMikH · 04-17-2004, 07:58 PM

I can't EVEN believe you killed me!

Go figure, the only other one from our crew that even bothers to check on things is Amnorix. None of the others would have noticed if they died or not.

Ahh, don't sweat it. I've gotten perforated three times already. You get used to it. And it hurts less every time!!

I suppose the fact that the plane returned AT ALL after dealing with 29 planes is a sign that we're still a somewhat lucky flight, but we're starting to lose crew members left and right.

Hell, the last flight that was "apparently compromised" went down in a big ball of flames. Not sure if that flight even made it to the target zone beforehand.

RIP Pastor. Your bombardier skills and in-flight sermons will be missed...

You know, my occupational situation hinders me in using the smiley that really fits what I think of this statement.

Actually, I didn't even bother reading on down to see what happened to the Plane. Once I saw I was dead, I put up a post, then got distracted and never when back.

Chi3fs fires, damages Fw190

2 Fws miss, break off attack

Fw scores 1 hit
-waist – the shell creases braincase with a light wound to the right thigh (giving him matching bloody spots with his earlier left thigh wound), and then imbeds itself in Big Chief Homer’s body, in what would’ve been a serious wound to the stomach if it wasn’t already spilled out onto the deck. Braincase ends up sitting on the deck, looking for fighters coming in from high positions. He lets Chief_Faithful know that he can’t help cover the area below the plane’s waist any more.

Chi3fs fires, misses
Gunther_fan fires, hits Fw190
Boozer fires, misses

Fw scores 3 hits
-starboard elevator is destroyed
-superficial damage to tail
-pilot compartment – in a fluke shot, the Fw puts a shell into the pilot compartment from the back and nails baby lee in the left side of the head. Baby lee instantly loses consciousness, and dies within minutes from the blood loss.

Gunther_Fan jumps from his post as the plane begins nosing down and grabs the yoke. As a veteran, he has received some basic lessons, but not much.

Fw circles, attacks again

Lightning rod fires, misses
Chief Faithful fires, misses

Fw misses, breaks off attack

Zone 2: English Channel

No enemy

Gunther_Fan yells back to Lightning Rod about the troubles in the cockpit, and Lightning Rod lets the rest of the crew know. Boozer and lightning rod convene in the cockpit, and boozer takes over the copilot seat as lightning rod helps pull the bodies of baby lee and brock landers out of the seat.

Chi3fs reminds them that he has no heat and hasn’t been able to feel his hands for a while, but the new leadership isn’t comfortable dropping out of formation with no pilot, no copilot, and no radio. Instead, lightning rod moves back to the tail gun and the half-frozen chi3fs comes up to the heated radio room to thaw out and man that gun. With numbed hands, he pats the bloody braincase on the back as he goes, and grimaces at what’s left of Big Chief Homer.

Zone 1: England

Good weather

In safe air over England, the B-17 formation begins descending. Gunther_Fan and boozer figure out how to descend, but don’t want to land just yet. With no radio, they can’t signal their intentions, so boozer goes to the top turret to keep an eye out for descending planes above them. As the rest of the formation descends, War Dog stays higher and begins a great sweeping circle. Back in the tail, lightning rod tries to give hand signals to other nearby B-17s, but isn’t sure that anyone saw him.

With no enemy to worry about, the crew begins exiting from their positions. Chief Faithful cranks himself up from the ball turret, and lightning rod comes up and helps him open the hatch. Up in the nose, sure-oz calls out that he’s got a good bead on the air base. Chi3fs comes out of the radio room and attempts to help braincase treat his wounds, but it’s becoming apparent that he’s got frostbite.

Despite the damaged elevator and port wing root, the plane is relatively easy to keep on the straight and level. The problem is landing, though. With no radio, Gunther_Fan and boozer aren’t sure about the landing procedures, and they aren’t confident landing the plane anyway with no training. For another thirty minutes, they circle while Chief Faithful and Lightning Rod confirm that baby lee, brock landers, and Big Chief Homer are dead.

At long last, the two officers (boozer and sure-oz, along with Gunther_Fan, make their decision. Remembering other flights where engineers were unable to land B-17s, they decide that it’s not worth losing another crew member to attempt a landing. They’ll just point the plane toward Germany, and then everyone will bail out over England. War Dog will merely become an American buzz bomb.

The B-17 circles again while lightning rod and chief faithful put parachutes onto the three dead crew members. Slowing the plane as much as possible, Gunther_Fan positions near a mid-sized city that sure-oz identifies as Cambridge, and the three dead crew members are parachuted out so their bodies can be recovered. The three chutes open without incident, and baby lee, brock landers, and Big Chief Homer are later recovered by villagers.

Next out are the live crew members. Lightning Rod and Chief Faithful drag Right Waist Gunner braincase toward the door and unceremoniously dump him out while deploying his chute. The groggy braincase, ever the lucky guy, floats to earth and is dismayed to see a river rising up before him. Attempting to maneuver the parachute doesn’t work, despite his frantic efforts. Saddled with two leg wounds, he hits the water hard, and then is covered by the parachute. Struggling and sinking, he gets entangled in his chute cords and cant’ fight clear of the fabric, either.

He later awakens on shore, coughing and spitting, a soaked Englishman on top of him pumping the water out of his lungs. The factory worker had seen him go in, and pulled him out as he was on the verge of drowning. Braincase begifts him with his flight jacket, and promises to become his butler after the war.

Tail Gunner chi3fs (10) is next. Lightning rod and Chief Faithful position him near the door and, since his hands are still useless, they pull his cord as he jumps out, too. Chi3fs hurtles toward earth, and notices quickly that the chute is tangled. Falling, falling, falling, he desperately tries to work the chute free from itself, but can’t get a grip on the cords. In a stroke of bad luck, he just got a poorly packed chute and can’t get it straightened out. 5,000 feet later, he destroys a farmer’s tractor, doing himself in in the process. Tough break.

With all of the dead and injured out the door, Radio Op. Lightning Rod (11) and Ball Turret Gunner Chief Faithful (11) give each other the thumbs up and dive out the hatch. Both land safely and have nothing worse than a short walk as a result of their efforts.

Navigator Sure-Oz (11) salutes the two erstwhile pilots and somersaults out the door. 5,000 feet later, he’s being dragged across a wheat field until he can disengage his chute.

Boozer and Gunther_Fan stay with the plane another 30 minutes until it reaches the coast. They then circle once so they can make a bailout over land. Bombardier Boozer (11) works with Gunther_Fan to figure out how the autopilot works, but they can’t find it. Gunther therefore mans the yoke as is his duty, and boozer’s the next one out. He leaves Gunther_Fan at the helm and wishes him luck. Boozer makes his jump, and ends up dangling from a 600 year-old oak tree until the rescue teams can get him down. No harm done.

Engineer Gunther_Fan (11) has a bit of a tricky task. Since he can’t figure out the autopilot, he can’t get the plane to stay straight and level while unmanned, since the bad elevator keeps forcing a bank. Making sure he’s got all his ducks in a row, Gunther_Fan ties off the yoke with a bootlace, then makes a run for the exit. Hoping that the plane won’t circle back and kill people on the ground, Gunther_Fan clambers toward the exit and makes his escape, just a little too late. Instead of dropping onto land, he finds himself parachuting over the ocean about a quarter-mile out. Hitting the water, he treads water as he ditches his parachute and heavy clothing, then watches as War Dog circles overhead. During the next 10 minutes, he paddles toward shore in the chilly water as War Dog slowly banks further and further into a death spiral. Once he reaches shore, the chilled Gunther_Fan watches as War Dog eventually noses down and slams into the North Sea. Mission over.

Aftereffects

Since multiple crew members survived, War Dog will fly again, albeit with a lot of new faces.

This is somewhat problematic since the plane doesn’t have navigation equipment. To make it worse, a weather front has come in, and visibility is dropping fast. Seclark is working furiously to keep track of the plane’s position and use dead reckoning to get back to base. 3 Me109s attack – 1 is driven away by fighters Hydrae fires, misses Kc2003 fires, misses Gh4chiefs fires, misses 2 Mes, miss, break off attack Zone 1: England Bad weather – rain and clouds Seclark has tried to keep track of the plane’s position, but without navigation equipment and visual sightings he’s relying only on radio contacts via redhed. With visibility near zero, the B-17 has no choice but to stay at altitude, flying north to attempt to get out of the storm front. The flight home drags on as the plane heads north, communicating with invisible radar stations to estimate its position. Two hours later, a runway near Edinborough reports moderate visibility, and Special Ed heads toward it. Dropping to only 500 feet, Sack Time finally finds an opening through the clouds, and buzzes Scotland until seclark can find the base. After that, it’s easy, and Special Ed slides the plane to a smooth stop. The crew relaxes for the night at a naval base before ferrying Sack Time back home two days later.

All of the weapons are fine. Zone 3 Out: Western Channel 1 Fw190, 3 Me109s attack – 1 Me109 is driven off by fighters Gunther_fan fires, kills Fw190 Boozer fires, misses Chi3fs fires, misses Chief Faithful fires, misses Big Chief Homer fires, misses Me misses, breaks off attack Me scores 2 hits -superficial damage to bomb bay -radio room – the radio is knocked out of commission Me circles, attacks again Braincase fires, hits Me109 Gunther_fan fires, misses Me misses, breaks off attack 4 Me109s attack – 2 are driven off by fighters Sure-oz fires, misses Chief Faithful fires, misses Chi3fs fires, misses Big Chief Homer fires, misses Me misses, breaks off attack Me scores 2 hits -port wing root slightly damaged -waist – braincase curses as he takes a light wound to the left thigh. It’s going to be a long few hours on the rest of the flight with that. Me circles, attacks again Braincase fires, misses Gunther_fan fires, misses Me misses, breaks off attack Zone 4 Out: France 3 Me109s are driven off by other B-17s Zone 5 Out: France – out of fighter range 5 Fw190s attack Sure-oz fires, damages Fw190 Boozer fires, misses Gunther_fan fires, kills Fw190 Chi3fs fires, kills Fw190 Big Chief Homer fires, misses Braincase fires, hits Fw190 After that onslaught of B-17 fire, 3 Fws miss, break off attack Zone 6 Out: France 1 Fw190 attacks Lightning rod fires, misses Gunther_fan fires, misses Big Chief Homer fires, misses Fw scores 1 hit -superficial damage to radio room Fw circles, attacks again Chief Faithful fires, kills Fw190 Big Chief Homer fires, misses Chi3fs fires, misses Zone 7 Out: France 4 Me109s attack Sure-oz fires, damages Me109 Gunther_fan fires, misses Chi3fs fires, damages Me109 Chief Faithful fires, misses Big Chief Homer fires, misses 3 Mes miss, break off attack Damaged Me barrels in at 12 o’clock even and scores 3 hits -pilot compartment – baby lee takes a light wound to the neck -superficial damage to pilot compartment -pilot compartment – brock landers takes a fatal “guy on the beach in Private Ryan” hit to the stomach. It’s ugly. Me circles, attacks again Gunther_fan fires, kills Me109 Baby lee, applying pressure to the bloody wound on his neck, continues flying with one hand. He lets Gunther_Fan know the situation in case he gets hit again. Zone 8: France (Entering Target Zone) 4 Me109s attack Boozer fires, damages Me109 Sure-oz fires, misses Gunther_fan fires, kills Me109 Lightning rod fires, misses Chi3fs fires, misses 3 Mes miss, break off attack Entering Bomb Zone Bad Weather – A thunderstorm has rolled in. No Flak The good news is that the weather is keeping the flak from firing, so boozer takes his time on the aiming. Even in the bad weather, he connects – 20% score Zone 8 Back: France (Leaving Target Zone) 1 Me110 is driven off by other B-17s Zone 7: France No enemy Zone 6: France 2 Me110s attack Gunther_fan fires, misses Boozer fires, misses Lightning rod fires, misses Chi3fs fires, kills Me110 Chief Faithful fires, misses Me misses, breaks off attack Zone 5: France 1 Fw190, 3 Me109s attack Big Chief Homer fires, misses Chi3fs fires, kills Me109 Gunther_fan fires, kills Me109 Sure-oz fires, hits Me109 Boozer fires, damages Fw190 Me, Fw miss, break off attack 2 Me109s attack Gunther_fan fires, misses Chi3fs fires, misses Chief Faithful fires, misses Boozer fires, kills Me109 Me scores 2 hits -port wing root damaged again. It would be a bad idea to try any violent maneuvers. -superficial damage to starboard wing Gunther_Fan and chi3fs simultaneously call out that they’re running low on ammo. Me circles, attacks again Gunther_fan fires, misses Braincase fires, misses The Me strafes in from 9 o’clock high and plants 8 hits into War Dog! -superficial damage to bomb bay doors -superficial damage to nose -pilot compartment – Brock Landers’ lifeless body takes what would’ve been a light wound to the hand as his left index finger is shot off. -superficial damage to bomb bay doors -superficial damage to radio room -waist – Big Chief Homer sees the tracer come in, but can’t avoid it. As with his copilot, he takes a fatal wound to the stomach and drops to the deck. -tail – chi3fs loses his heating system -superficial damage to port wing aileron Me circles, attacks again Chi3fs fires, damages Me109 Gunther_fan fires, kills the same Me109 Zone 4: France – back in fighter range No enemy Zone 3 Out: Western Channel 3 Fw190s attack Gunther_fan fires, hits Fw190 Sure-oz fires, misses Braincase fires, misses Chief Faithful fires, misses Chi3fs fires, damages Fw190 2 Fws miss, break off attack Fw scores 1 hit -waist – the shell creases braincase with a light wound to the right thigh (giving him matching bloody spots with his earlier left thigh wound), and then imbeds itself in Big Chief Homer’s body, in what would’ve been a serious wound to the stomach if it wasn’t already spilled out onto the deck. Braincase ends up sitting on the deck, looking for fighters coming in from high positions. He lets Chief_Faithful know that he can’t help cover the area below the plane’s waist any more. Fw circles, attacks again Chi3fs fires, misses Gunther_fan fires, hits Fw190 Boozer fires, misses Fw scores 3 hits -starboard elevator is destroyed -superficial damage to tail -pilot compartment – in a fluke shot, the Fw puts a shell into the pilot compartment from the back and nails baby lee in the left side of the head. Baby lee instantly loses consciousness, and dies within minutes from the blood loss. Gunther_Fan jumps from his post as the plane begins nosing down and grabs the yoke. As a veteran, he has received some basic lessons, but not much. Fw circles, attacks again Lightning rod fires, misses Chief Faithful fires, misses Fw misses, breaks off attack Zone 2: English Channel No enemy Gunther_Fan yells back to Lightning Rod about the troubles in the cockpit, and Lightning Rod lets the rest of the crew know. Boozer and lightning rod convene in the cockpit, and boozer takes over the copilot seat as lightning rod helps pull the bodies of baby lee and brock landers out of the seat. Chi3fs reminds them that he has no heat and hasn’t been able to feel his hands for a while, but the new leadership isn’t comfortable dropping out of formation with no pilot, no copilot, and no radio. Instead, lightning rod moves back to the tail gun and the half-frozen chi3fs comes up to the heated radio room to thaw out and man that gun. With numbed hands, he pats the bloody braincase on the back as he goes, and grimaces at what’s left of Big Chief Homer. Zone 1: England Good weather In safe air over England, the B-17 formation begins descending. Gunther_Fan and boozer figure out how to descend, but don’t want to land just yet. With no radio, they can’t signal their intentions, so boozer goes to the top turret to keep an eye out for descending planes above them. As the rest of the formation descends, War Dog stays higher and begins a great sweeping circle. Back in the tail, lightning rod tries to give hand signals to other nearby B-17s, but isn’t sure that anyone saw him. With no enemy to worry about, the crew begins exiting from their positions. Chief Faithful cranks himself up from the ball turret, and lightning rod comes up and helps him open the hatch. Up in the nose, sure-oz calls out that he’s got a good bead on the air base. Chi3fs comes out of the radio room and attempts to help braincase treat his wounds, but it’s becoming apparent that he’s got frostbite. Despite the damaged elevator and port wing root, the plane is relatively easy to keep on the straight and level. The problem is landing, though. With no radio, Gunther_Fan and boozer aren’t sure about the landing procedures, and they aren’t confident landing the plane anyway with no training. For another thirty minutes, they circle while Chief Faithful and Lightning Rod confirm that baby lee, brock landers, and Big Chief Homer are dead. At long last, the two officers (boozer and sure-oz, along with Gunther_Fan, make their decision. Remembering other flights where engineers were unable to land B-17s, they decide that it’s not worth losing another crew member to attempt a landing. They’ll just point the plane toward Germany, and then everyone will bail out over England. War Dog will merely become an American buzz bomb. The B-17 circles again while lightning rod and chief faithful put parachutes onto the three dead crew members. Slowing the plane as much as possible, Gunther_Fan positions near a mid-sized city that sure-oz identifies as Cambridge, and the three dead crew members are parachuted out so their bodies can be recovered. The three chutes open without incident, and baby lee, brock landers, and Big Chief Homer are later recovered by villagers. Next out are the live crew members. Lightning Rod and Chief Faithful drag Right Waist Gunner braincase toward the door and unceremoniously dump him out while deploying his chute. The groggy braincase, ever the lucky guy, floats to earth and is dismayed to see a river rising up before him. Attempting to maneuver the parachute doesn’t work, despite his frantic efforts. Saddled with two leg wounds, he hits the water hard, and then is covered by the parachute. Struggling and sinking, he gets entangled in his chute cords and cant’ fight clear of the fabric, either. He later awakens on shore, coughing and spitting, a soaked Englishman on top of him pumping the water out of his lungs. The factory worker had seen him go in, and pulled him out as he was on the verge of drowning. Braincase begifts him with his flight jacket, and promises to become his butler after the war. Tail Gunner chi3fs (10) is next. Lightning rod and Chief Faithful position him near the door and, since his hands are still useless, they pull his cord as he jumps out, too. Chi3fs hurtles toward earth, and notices quickly that the chute is tangled. Falling, falling, falling, he desperately tries to work the chute free from itself, but can’t get a grip on the cords. In a stroke of bad luck, he just got a poorly packed chute and can’t get it straightened out. 5,000 feet later, he destroys a farmer’s tractor, doing himself in in the process. Tough break. With all of the dead and injured out the door, Radio Op. Lightning Rod (11) and Ball Turret Gunner Chief Faithful (11) give each other the thumbs up and dive out the hatch. Both land safely and have nothing worse than a short walk as a result of their efforts. Navigator Sure-Oz (11) salutes the two erstwhile pilots and somersaults out the door. 5,000 feet later, he’s being dragged across a wheat field until he can disengage his chute. Boozer and Gunther_Fan stay with the plane another 30 minutes until it reaches the coast. They then circle once so they can make a bailout over land. Bombardier Boozer (11) works with Gunther_Fan to figure out how the autopilot works, but they can’t find it. Gunther therefore mans the yoke as is his duty, and boozer’s the next one out. He leaves Gunther_Fan at the helm and wishes him luck. Boozer makes his jump, and ends up dangling from a 600 year-old oak tree until the rescue teams can get him down. No harm done. Engineer Gunther_Fan (11) has a bit of a tricky task. Since he can’t figure out the autopilot, he can’t get the plane to stay straight and level while unmanned, since the bad elevator keeps forcing a bank. Making sure he’s got all his ducks in a row, Gunther_Fan ties off the yoke with a bootlace, then makes a run for the exit. Hoping that the plane won’t circle back and kill people on the ground, Gunther_Fan clambers toward the exit and makes his escape, just a little too late. Instead of dropping onto land, he finds himself parachuting over the ocean about a quarter-mile out. Hitting the water, he treads water as he ditches his parachute and heavy clothing, then watches as War Dog circles overhead. During the next 10 minutes, he paddles toward shore in the chilly water as War Dog slowly banks further and further into a death spiral. Once he reaches shore, the chilled Gunther_Fan watches as War Dog eventually noses down and slams into the North Sea. Mission over. Aftereffects Since multiple crew members survived, War Dog will fly again, albeit with a lot of new faces.
