I think you guys should take a proper look at the Aces over Europe 2 server, it
is far more “tactical”" and complex than either ComBox or Finnish, it requires
higher pilot skill levels too as there’s NO technochat so you need to know
engine boost and rpm settings not % values, Bart and I had some fun in there
earlier today in Tempests doing an Armed Recce and shooting up a train :)

You're right Roke. Though we spent too much time over target because of my
seat change problem, us bombers left before the bandits arrived. You fighters
should have been able to look after yourselves.
Stickz is thinking like the unescorted singleton bomber he often is.

Well, I'm only qualified to comment about the escort side of things... And
to be fair, I'd rather see some action than have a clean getaway, even if
it's not operationally ideal. So I'll accept a longer time over the target
if I get a good fight as a result. Emphasis on 'good' not 'hopeless' mind
you... I also like to rtb as my #1 priority 😉
My view on the La5s range is based on anecdotal evidence that with a full
lean mixture, it has quite long legs. I have not tested this in any kind of
scientific way though, so may be mistaken. I'll try and test it properly at
some point. Even if I'm wrong about that, flying La5s on Wednesday would
have enabled us to a) force the enemy to start turning, and likely kill them
as a result; or b) increase the probability that they would have declined to
chase us south east as we were basically un-catchable.
Having said all that, Colin's point about the scenario is completely
right... Pod and I were shot down on Wednesday because we didn't pick up the
enemy fighters following us, and I at least had relaxed a little as a
result. That wasn't the Spitfires fault.

Hi Colin,
JaVA does escort us sometimes still, but Biggles is having massive cable
problems with his G2 cable and when he is not there the others don’t
join. I guess they are flying DCS then.
Kind regards,

Yeah don’t know enough about VVS aircraft as I don’t fly them much if
hardly at all. To provide that sort of information, maybe someone who
flies VVS aircraft a lot can give us a run down on what the VVS aircraft
can do? Or they can do some testing to find out?
Does Java squad not provide escort for you any more?

looked at that mission, I was 2min30 ish for 3 bomb runs, then phoenix
in. My last damage indicated was after 5mins over target. Then on top
of that cina (and pod?) were a minute earlier SEAD. Thats 6mins, plus
time for early warning to come up on ingress, and for us to get 15km
away another couple. 8minutes, at 500kph puts us under threat from
anything within 37miles/60kms. Even knocking off the 2.5mins whilst
phoenix got out the back seat thats too long.
On other hand it appears cina and pod got rid of 3 flak which would
have been a real threat to us.
As opposed to the second that was 1min20 over target (and somehow it
appears I bought 8 bombs home).
As for escort plane - you guys know that more than me, but I do not
think LA5FN would have had range so running out faster may not have
been a possibility either.
