The Beast in the East

Post by Hard Sarge »

All I can say is WOW, the 262 is a monster (my wingmen don't seem to stay alive long enough to grow to like it though)

1st mission 4 kills
2nd mission 9 kills
3rd mission 7 kills
4th mission 4 kills
5th missions 9 kills (damaged a P-38, and fired two long bursts vs jinking fighters, or I would of had more !Tap the trigger, don't mash it)

still can't hit anything with the rockets

cleaning house with the Pe-2's, but got decent number of fighters also, just don't turn with anything, and don't try normal B@Z tactics, more of a shallow dive, it builds up speed way fast, and in this plane, you don't want to play with your throttle

oh yea, don't Split S, unless you got lots and lots of Alt

seems strange, but the SU gunners are much better then the Allied gunners, and they will open fire from 1.50 range or better (seen one open up at 1.87, while most B-17's hold there fire till .50, makes it ruff when most of my kills come from .15 or so)

enjoying the add on, and like a lot of the art work (skins)

Those rockets, yeah same for me. The only way to hit something is to put on unlimited ammo and fire as much as I can at different angles.

Sometimes it hits. But if it hit. Oooohw yeah.

Well still can't hit anything with the Rockets (unless you count the Truck/rocketlancher convoy, I flew past :))

still think this plane is the BEAST

had a mission with 11 kills, and landed with ammo left in all 4 gun trays (last 3 Yaks refused to fly in a streight line anymore)

todays missions, got 2 Il-2's, the 2nd one exploding as I flew past, ripping my port engine off, limped home while my boys finished the raid

next mission, got ambushed by 4 La-7's during take off, lost all 3 wingmates, got 2, damaged the 3rd, came back in and put 3 30mm round into the engine of the 4th, he fliped out of control, and took off both of my wings, very hasty exit from the plane, keeps me alive

last mission of the day, nice raid on the SU part, IL-2's at 4 K, IL-4's at 10 K, Pe-2's at 11 K, with the normal Horde of Yak's, La's and P-39's inbetween, above and below

I got 9, my wingman got 2, bad news is the 2nd section leader got 6, before being killed, gonna miss him

almost all rookies flying now

69 kills and counting

Well I can claim I finally hit something with rockets

only hassle is just as the 17 exploded so did my left engine

I was still some 400 yards away from the target so don't know if it was the blast, parts or a lucky shell from one of the bombers that tagged me
