Mission 11: Now the fun starts. - Page 2

**Rain Man** · 03-25-2004, 11:21 PM

Vaunted aircrew members, you are now veterans.

Your mission assignments will expand to 22 potential targets now. You may find yourself flying a group of rookie bombers on a short mission to France (like the ones you first flew), or you may find yourself heading deep into German territory with other veteran aircrews.

In addition to the airfields, rail yards, industry, ship yards, and aircraft plants that you've been attacking, the 8th Air Force has added a new mission: going after the U-boat pens along the coasts. These targets often have concentrated flak defenses, so your flights in the bomb zones are somewhat more risky.

Distances will also increase. Your longest mission to date has been 4 zones. While those shorter missions are still possible, you may be assigned to missions up to twice that far. A new feature will be added to the mission plans for the remaining 15 missions, which will let you know the distance to your target as you take off. The good news is that your flight routes will be over the Channel or the North Sea for as long as possible to minimize interception by German fighters.

Recall that fighter cover extends only to Zone 4. However, on longer missions you will be part of larger bomber formations, so it is possible that some fighters will actually be driven off by other B-17s flying in formation with you. It's good to stay in formation on these long flights.

Good luck and godspeed.

In order to save Ecto-I from certain frostbite, logical decides to drop out of formation and bring the plane down from altitude to increase the temperature in the plane.

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)

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

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

-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

No enemy

Zone 3: North Sea

No enemy

Zone 2: English Channel

No enemy

Zone 1: England

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.

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.

Dave Lane Space Cadet and Aczabel Join Date: Aug 2000 Location: Kanab, UT, USA Casino cash: $9333275 VARSITY	Whew survived another one. Have two hits but no kills must be about a 25% chance of hitting. Dave __________________ Thanks, Trump for the civics lesson.
