S3 Series

Gents <<S>> I am not going to change the way things seemed to be working for us so lets finish this series with a nice little bang. As of tomorrow May 1st I will be on military so I will be checking in when I can and making changes in RED

Knights JU87s @85 and fighters @91 your targets are 47and 23. Also the Tank column at 2,2,5 Coordinate with the 352nd so they can have a good CAP at the targets. I recommend you try and climb as much as you can in the Stuka with minimal fuel to get you to and from target with max 5 minute loiter time on target. I have a feeling the Allies liked their quick strikes from 22. I would climb out and rally up at the 4,2X to meet the 352nd.

Night Stalkers: Fw 190s @4target 69 and 30tank column @2,4,5,6. Once we see how they Allies are striking and appear on DAR will give you more targets or shipping. LF6 will be your cover. Coordinate with them on their TAC channel.

352nd: C202s/109G2s @ 90 Your mission is to provide close air support for the Knight's Stukas at their target 22/23 and the tank column. Rally up with the Knights at 4,2X.

LF6: C202s @ 81 and 82 patrol the north coast line and provide support for the Night Stalkers. Coordinate with the NS.

Going to try and keep this as simple as possible. Just remember to be flexible as the frame goes on. Once we see where the Allies are hitting and flying we will adjust accordingly.

GOOD LUCK and SEMPER GUMBY

<{S}>

Jugggo,

Sounds good brother and I know the 352nd will take care of any buggers that get in our way. I'll coordinate with them where we are and let them call us in when it's time.

Good luck!

The real question for us is just how many Macchis, with a high percentage of hits, does it take to hurt Darryl's B-17s?

Cockpit shots maybe??

Those 202 VIIs did a number on the B-25s in frame 1. It felt alot easier to concentrate fire in the 202 over the 109. A single Macchi should be able to bring one down especially with engine/cocpit hits. Two would leave ammo for other fights. Three 202s would probably make it easy.

In frame 4 the Night Stalkers had a very difficult time taking off from 84 with heavy 190s
We had to rebase to 4. (I believe that runway is shorter than other fields that look similar.)

No problem coolon make it happen

Just a headsup on the fields. If you go into the arena you can see the actual fields for Frame 5. I am on the road and forgot to update the map.
Allies have the F14 field so you should be aware of that for planning.
Axis have a commanding lead and have been winning the air to air battle every frame. The new macchis are on steroids:)
