75th RAAF campaign chronicle

[Rami]

Al,

I figured I'd start off with your 75th. I caught up with the Nell as she was circling Port Moresby, coming back over the airfield complex.

Al,

Here is another one...I managed to bag several Nells leading the Airacobras before 'dem pesky Zeroes flamed my arse! :mixedsmi:

(Yes, I'm flying them out of sequence)

By the way...nice job using multiple runways at the Port Moresby complex for some of these missions...it's a really cool way to do it!

Glad you like that Rami.

In one of the Solomon missions I'm working on I have 2 flights of Wildcats, 1 flight of SBDs and 1 flight of P-38s all taking off at the same time and join up before you warp. I think it adds some realism to the mission. It takes a little bit of work but worth the effort.

Al,

It took a few passes, but I managed to get them all. (After taking this pic and looking behind me to admire my handiwork, I flew straight into a palm tree. Oops!

Al,

Nice job on the Betty .dp files. They burn real nice!

Good afternoon,

Here is a satisfying sight...a Betty in flames, and an intact P-40!

Nice shots Rami.

Jagdflieger,

This isn't the original campaign, this is Al's version from last year.

Al,

I tried flying RAAF mission 005 tonight. I got over the enemy bombers, and did a half-roll to pull down and engage the bombers, but I dropped my flaps a notch or two to control my speed. Did I accidentally trigger the end of the mission? :isadizzy:

Flaps are set for 75% toend mission.Remember I did the mission with Lindsay's P-40 ans the flaps on that are 33%,67% and 100%.The FDG one may be different.

Al,

So was mission six, but I was told when I landed that I failed the mission, despite bagging the three Bettys. :isadizzy:

Hey Al,

I embarked on mission eight, and your mission was a great tonic after dealing with nitwits all day. (Not my family, some other issues) I really enjoyed diving ten thousand feet to attack two formations of Nells, and screaming through the formation at over 350 knots. I was able to take down three in the first pass!

Mama always said I like to leave a trail of wreckage in my wake...

Talon,

The mission at 5,000 feet over the harbor was nice...I couldn't bag a Zero though, my wingmen did.

Rami,

I checked the mission and I had the Bettys as must be destroyed and 3 kills.If you change the bettys to none it should fix it.

Glad you are having fun.Maybe you'll get to the USMC Aces by next summer .
