Mission #1. They're off!
...and the planes begin their takeoff roll!
I've only completed the first plane so far, but will do a bunch of them this weekend. Talisman has graciously agreed to assist with portions of the paperwork (pause for round of applause), so either he or I will be posting the other planes as they fly. I expect to finish many of them this weekend. A note for you gunners: 1. If you "hit" an enemy plane, it means that you caused damage that will affect its attack ability, but not enough to make it break off and leave. 2. If you "damage" an enemy plane, it means that you caused enough damage that the plane will leave as soon as it makes one run at you, but you also severely affected its ability to hit your plane. 3. If you "kill" an enemy plane, it's a confirmed shootdown and you can paint a swastika on your flight jacket. Ready? The Tequila Rose is cruising toward the first U.S. bombing mission in Occupied France. Last edited by Rain Man; 01-23-2004 at 04:08 PM.. |

 Unless you know how to fly, it might be a short ride if Dole or I get hit.  |

Interesting.
A plane with gochiefs that didn't go down faster than a crackwhore to pick up $5 a client dropped. In other news......I just realized that the book I got for Christmas and am starting to read is relevant. Has anyone read "the Wild Blue" by Stephen Ambrose(blackhawk down)? Its about WWII B24 crews/missions. Who'da thought Kevin's game would be more effective on me than Oprah's Book of the month club. |

This flight had a very successful bombing run and damaged five enemy fighters to boot, at a cost of only some inconsequential bullet holes, one of which is in the sleeve of Psicosis' flight suit.

Plane #15 – Sack Time
Pilot Special Ed Copilot KcMizzou Bombardier Bearcat Navigator alanm Engineer gh4chiefs Radio Op. mcan Tail Gunner seclark Ball Turret Gunner Luzap Right Waist Gunner redhed Left Waist Gunner ChiefGator Target: the fighter base at Cherbourg Mid-formation horizontally, high vertically (moderate vulnerability) Will Bearcat’s mom get a second telegram? Zone 1 Out: Britain No enemy Zone 2 Out: English Channel 4 Me109s attack – 1 is driven away by fighters Gh4chiefs fires, misses Alanm fires, misses Bearcat fires, misses 1 Me misses, breaks off attack Me scores 2 hits -kcmizzou hit, serious wound to back of head -superficial damage to waist Me scores 2 hits -radio room hit – Intercom system knocked out -superficial damage to port wing 2 Mes circle and attack again. Without the intercom system, the gunners can’t communicate, which makes it impossible to coordinate fire and notify each other of incoming fighters. It is a major handicap. Bearcat fires, misses Gh4chiefs fires, misses 1 Me misses, breaks off attack Me scores two hits -superficial damage to nose -superficial damage to nose Me circles and attacks again Gh4chiefs fires, misses Me scores 2 hits, once again aiming into the nose of the aircraft -Bearcat is hit, light wound to right foot -alanm is hit, light wound to right hand -superficial damage to port wing Me breaks off attack and leaves Special Ed weighs the situation. He can abort the mission with his copilot severely wounded and the intercom out. However, with lots of fighters in the area, dropping out of formation with no intercom could be very dangerous. Without the intercom, he does not know immediately that his navigator and bombardier are also wounded, so he opts to stay in formation and complete the bombing run to maintain the protection afforded by the other B-17s. Zone 3 Out: France (Entering Target Zone) 1 FW190 attacks Mcan fires, misses FW scores one hit -superficial damage to tail FW circles and attacks again Redhed fires, misses FW misses and breaks off attack Entering Bomb Zone Good Weather No Flak! Distracted by his bleeding foot, Bearcat misses the bomb mark – 0% score Zone 3 Back: France (Leaving Target Zone) 5 FW 190s attack – 3 are driven off by fighters Alanm fires, misses Gh4chiefs fires, misses Both FWs miss and break off attack 5 FW 190s attack – 3 are driven off by fighters Bearcat fires, misses Seclark fires, misses Both FWs miss and break off attack Zone 2: English Channel No enemy Zone 1: England Good weather Good landing Aftereffects Despite the serious wound, kcmizzou recovers well and can keep flying. Eligible for next mission Pilot Special Ed Copilot KcMizzou Bombardier Bearcat Navigator alanm Engineer gh4chiefs Radio Op. mcan Tail Gunner seclark Ball Turret Gunner Luzap Right Waist Gunner redhed Left Waist Gunner ChiefGator All’s well that ends well.
