Me :serious: and my fiancé :waf: decided to play a short bombing mission last night featuring a Zeppelin Staaken R.VI. A Siemens Schuckert D.IV tried to fend off an entente force of three fighters; a SE.5a, a Camel and a Hanriot HD.2.
27568
Attacking force entering no mans land...
27571
... advancing towards the frontline.
27573
First shots fired, the Siemens Shuckert's guns jamming instantly!
27570
Some damage to both sides, but nothing dramatic.
27569
Camel lining up for a good tailing position. The Hanriot burning in the background, constantly being hit by the bombers gunners. Just a few moves later one of the entente fighters shot two of the crew dead, the nose- and the right rear upper gunners.
27572
The Hanriot soon fell from the sky and the AA gun firing frantically only hit the giant once for no damage. The bomber lost its way though and failed to line up with the first target in time. The huge aircraft was now beginning to fall apart from the fighters combined weight of fire.
27574
Missing the first target it was time to line up for the second. The second target only got damaged though before the bomber was shot down.
27567
Soon only the SE.5 was left to the entente. Shortly both the lone defender and the bomber would fall to each others bullets. :crash:
Only the Siemens Schuckert was still flying, and it soon returned to it's own side of the front. It had only made a few hits on the opposing fighters. A lot of jammed guns on both sides.
(The explosion card is for a destroyed machine gun post).
It was a fun session, and my fiancé was in good mood even though all her fighters was shot down. She managed to down the giant! :guns:
