    Unfortunately our target f6 was already pinged when we arrived. Although it was a nice mission.

    we captured it after some suffering. was really fun anyway to work with so many buffs!

    at least 17 pilots were involved with this mission. 17 pilots that decide to stick around for a little longer (about an hour or so) to finish the mission.
    if you feel your team is getting outnumbered, call some fellow squads and make something organized! you will hold pilots for longer time and you have all the efficiency of teamwork. oh, and not to mention the fun!

    Very nice!
    I cant remember of seeing it on the red side... i will love to intercept these formations.

    Just one point i always notice and i must say now is that people ruins the "realism" of the pics leting their planes over another's planes like nicaee's He177 over the filler's 109, maletn's prop cutting lucull's wing and megade's he177 just over someonelses buff...
    These are just details but i think its important and people would care of avoiding doing this. Its not hard to taxi right and stop in right position without "driving" thru another planes...


    Just an observation... very nice pics.

    Interesting!
    My squad organized capturing the field f10 from f6 in the early morning on 2.6.2002. We were on the red side. And we used fighters-bombers mostly. We kept the formation for two first strikes on the f10. Unfortunately I didn't take screenshots:(. The fight for the f10 lasted for 2 hours but we succeeded at the end.

    Wtg milten and wtg 102 yugoslav sq :super: !! let's show this golds that we reds can make coop attacks too (but maybe we are a little bit less organized, or maybe we take less care for taking those beautiful pics :D )

    Anyway, wtg to all coop attacks from either side, it's the funniest way to play this game IMHO

    itayky got these pics (and some others, but i wanted to make the file small, so i filtered the best).

    hi-res 3d. excellent pics.

    just one detail: he had the plane ID bug, so the he-177s are b17Gs :D
