Thread: Aerodrome Raid

  1. #51

    Default

    I find the close-in shots helpful, Peter, so I can judge the likelihood Dan will be crashing into me.

    They're quite useful though imo, if it's not too much of a burden to post them.

    turn 2 in!

    Chris, it has been my experience that you usually crash into me. I usually, ok always, crash into pylons and other unmovable objects. I am sure I will find some way to crash into one of the target aerodromes!

    Turn 2 in.

    The closeups help fine tune the overhead.

    Yikes... a collision this early would scratch the nice paintwork.... turn 2 in. ( will keep checking as regularly as I can, but alas I am still not getting any email notifications from the site)

    Even though we had no briefing at all our moves actually look like we planned it !
    Pick your targets boys, here we go !!

    You're not alone Chris, I haven't had email notifications from the Forum for ages now and no amount of fiddling with the settings seems to make a difference.

    Like to see some some more oblique colour shots. they're sometimes more helpful than top down views but whatever you can give us is good

    Keep both. Overhead shots give you the main view. Close ups add a bit of spice, you can almost hear the painwork being scratched. Round 2 in

    The close-up pics are also nice so I can see my beautiful plane as it burns 🔥

    Is this your first time meeting the crafty Hun? They are full of devilish tricks not just diving away from your guns. Why, some of them are so beastly they even shoot at us! Dashed unsporting!

    I figured you were on it, was hoping for a favorable gust of wind. If a gale kicks up those hangars will burn faster.

    A favorable gust of wind....for the Americans blows the smoke in your eyes, you can't see and crash into the trees.

    I know, it looked close, think I need a wider side slip and the Gods of Flying ruled it a miss - no worries, I'll get it on the way back

    I want to change how we send in our movement plots. To avoid the confusion with the different numbering of decks, don't just #s anymore, send it in words. No more squinting or getting out the magnifying glass!

    Use the below so I get everyone using the same terminology.

    Straight
    Stall
    Immelmann (with or without X)
    90* right
    Right
    slip right
    wide slip right
    90* left
    left
    slip left
    wide slip left
    climb
    dive

    Inform me if you are planning a Split-S or Immelmann (with or without X)

    Thanks!
