S3 Series

Airframe was the B-25J Tasked with hitting radar sites and the southern most airfield in the islands.


Mixed group of Doolittle's Raiders, Nomads & Night Stalkers all flew out of 191. With an airstart provided due to wingmen that get stuck on hillsides we flew off together and formed for the first bomb drops of the nearest radar.

Difficult targets to see in this terrain and it led to us taking more time than we wanted over target but eventually the first Radar outpost was closed. We continued on to F190 and bombed until closed, others dropped some ordinance on the port right next to our target. We returned to base and re-upped to strike the next radar outpost. We were a bit ahead of our fighters but they found us and were overhead. Turned to target and started getting con calls... The Japanese were coming at us from above and behind... we had some individuals who were out of position and lost a couple wingmen but our escort dove in and scattered the attackers and allowed us to move unmolested to target.

with radar masts down we asked to move north to attack field 182. did some damage there and returned back to try and finish off the radar outpost. we were a bit scattered and had some attacking the port at 187 and others hitting the radar island.. in the end we fared well in the B-25s and inflicted some damage. Without knowing the values of targets its very hard to decide what to hit. One thing we noticed was the Red target circles on the map were not there for all the targets, in fact it seemed to be locating the targets that are NOT needed for closure... might even have been just AA. This led to some disagreement as to what targets to hit...

Think we lost one or two human pilots with several wingmen shot down or otherwise taken out due to crazy AI.


Many people had their wingmen get stuck on mountains at the targets or just dive down to low level and get eventually hunted down by Japanese fighters.

Thanks guys, you did great!
