Sortie 1
-------
Taking off from F66 we remained noe SE into the water till out of the coastal watcher dar that surrounds F66. Once out we climbed out avoiding all the enemy dar to reach target at T+43. On the first pass we got everything but the ammo dumps and the DAR EM. this was anticipated given the limited bombs we have. It was good to see the Lf 6 cover us into the target and till we were out of the hot zone.

Sortie 2
---------
Flew the same way back down, finished off 92. Again the ammo dumps proved pretty hard to finish off.

Overall our AI wingmen behaved better this time, at least making the drops with us. We did loose a couple on the way back from sortie 1, for some reason they did not keep up.


Thanks to all who participated, thanks to the Sentai (LF) 6 and a huge thanks to -hawk- san for the frame CO role.

Good job UMM. I haven't' done much bombing with any of the Japanese bombers, but I've noticed the same behavior with other bombers (the wingman not keeping up). For example, the Mossie IV wingman will stay tight until you reach a certain altitude and start to fall off. Lowering the rate of climb and cutting back on the throttle help them stay close.

Nice Work UMM.


Jlordj, with your advise, you sound like you want to fly bombers for a series. I wonder how the rest of the squad feels

Yeah right, like that's gonna happen
