We have started flying a weekly mission to check out the new 1.2 update. This wednesday evening we will be taking B-17s in to Germany to hit a factory and refinery. The two flights of B-17s will have P-47 and P-38 escort.
Our guys flying the escorts will have their hands full as the German fighters will spawn and hit us before we get to the target and then again as we head home. They will have to watch their ammo and fire short bursts in close and make every shot count. If they run out of ammunition we will be in real trouble. In these shots from one of my test runs you can see a pair of ME_262s that appeared just before we got to the target. BTW, those are not contrails from the lead B-17, they are fuel leaks from damage.
The high altitude flak will have no problem reaching us above 20,000 ft. We had 8 guys in the mission last week and hope to have the same number this week.
