Unfortunately, the download that Jel posted is not the same one
I gave him to post.....however, it worked with mine and might be
set up a little better. I will download it so we will all be the same
and adjust a few things for myself. 8)

Next week at least THREE of us are gonna be shooting SOMETHING down!

Lolo and I had a good game. Where were you guys?
Back again same time tomorrow

There is a "352ndPS6.exe" in the download folder.
Run it in the "352nd" folder and it will give you planeset6.
This is like PS5 but with a wider variety of 190s and 109Gs available.
We can try it later today

Room open at 6.15 pm local time, 12.15 pm US East

Good game Les Lyonais & Roller

A few days ago when we flew a mission online, (Me, Jel and LoLo)
I was reminded of the futility of being in a hurry....

Offline, most of us engage the enemy immediately and start shooting
stuff down, with the AI not being that quick to respond.

I was escorting B-24's with P-51's while 'Hector' flew 110's and Lolo
flew 109e's.
Like a true off-liner, I spotted Hector behind and below me, came around
and dropped down behind him. I slowed to keep up with his evasion (He already
knew I was there) and just as I began to spray him with my 50's I started
hearing pings on my plane. I got every 'damage' message you could get.
"Ailerons damaged" "rudder damaged" "engine damaged" etc. Then my wing popped off
and my wingman was hollering "Bail-out!"

"Ah!" I thought. 'So Lolo stayed to protect Hector instead of going after the bombers.'
When I re-spawned, I was determined to whack Lolo! lol!
I scanned the skies and spotted him to the side and below me. But this time, I remembered
to stay high and fast....for the next 20 minutes I boom and zoomed him....either having to
change my course because he was facing me, (Will NOT do head-ons with 50's against cannon!)
or having to do some serious deflection shooting because of the angle he kept on me.
Finally, I was 'almost' behind him on a boom, sprayed and prayed at him, then tried to zoom
climb away......but when I got about 1500 feet away from him he spritzed me with a couple
cannon shots that whacked my engine!
All I saw after that was a message on the chat: "S!" "Lucky shot!" Indeed...........

Meanwhile, Hector went after the 24's unabated. I think he got them all except 2.

So when flying P-51's against 'human' pilots (GOOD human pilots!) you must stay high and fast
and take your time! You cant just dive in and start turn-fighting. You have to boom and zoom and
have great deflection shooting.

A good offline practice for this is to do a sweep, either alone or just one wingman, against 'light'
enemy....preferably 109's..usually 4....you will find this to be very hard!

(At least for me anyway!)

AO

It was an interesting session. I saw you on my six, but with Lolo on your six. I bobbed and weaved a bit but he got you in 5 seconds. The odd thing was the difficulty we had in locating the bombers. I used the map, and went after them as they returned across the channel. Most of my kills were close to their home base and the light AAA got me at the finish.

Yes.......from the time I entered the game, to the time at the end
when you and the bombers were in England, the control tower kept telling
me the bombers were 5 miles 90 degrees!

AO

I will be at GameRanger from about 5.30 pm local time this afternoon, running the 352nd 140 set-up with planeset 6.

Room open for anyone with the 352nd set-up
