Sunday 25th Session
Vin is unable to host for SCS this Sunday
But Mikester has offered to do so
Back to Kiev then for more Barbarossa mayhem on the Eastern front.
New rules apply for comms etc, see the other thread.
The UK clocks change this weekend to BST rather than GMT, so be prepared for a c*ck up on timings
IL2's for the bombers and LaGG3's for the fighters.
Lead fighter pilot for the session is Falcon, lead bomber is me.
See you there.

I s'pose it'll be La-5's, LaGG's and/or Mig-3's and IL-2's tomorrow?
I'll be checking the net for power and RPM settings for these ac.

Hey Falcon, thats good stuff.
Maybe I cannot see it on the chart, but do the numbers for "cruise" settings refer to altitude or engine revs?
Aircraft for the remaining 4 Kiev missions are early type LaGG3's and single seat IL2's.
We go to Crimea next and there is a bit more variety of aircraft in that campaign and we start to see the 2 seat field mod IL2's - I will be glad of that rear gunner calling out his encouragement

Yes, the problem is you see, us bomber wieners like clear concise communication - whereas the glamour boys in the fighters have these fantastic psychic powers where they can read each others minds..............................:FI:Sneaky_Russian wrote:OH!

Actually,
we use a very complex and advanced series of shear, high-pitched screams to communicate. If someone gets on our six we sometimes go ultra-sonic.
