You cannot lie, cheat or steal your way to honor.  Honor lies in friendship, trust and loyalty, in truth  when you spit upon those great and wonderful things, you are doomed to a failure of the soul of the worst sort.  You are truly damned.

Great fun!  BTW... that last mission flying for the Rooskies was a blast!  The Yak3 was like a super plane...handling more like a rocket ship than a WW2 fighter...lol.  VERY responsive and lively.  Does anybody remember if that particular plane was (um, over-modeled like some of the Russian planes apparently were?)  I know I caught the American I nailed with his pants down (target fixation?), but I can't believe the late model 38's would have been THAT easy to take down.  I dove from like 1500k to about 800k and it only took a heartbeat ...not kidding...the Yak was ZOOMING baby!

 8) 8) 8)

My mates scattered and took on the other P-38s and also made short work of them.

An epic mission for me as I never had too good of a success rate with the Russian planes back in the day.

It's pretty clear Herr OttO is the pilot to beat!   :o :o  He has an outstanding success rate, kill ratio and mission completion/survival!

The man's a killer in the air...hold the phone...

'Chop! Chop!  Chop!' and they're done.   ;)

I fly all the time, but do too much test flying for my mods and not enough actual combat flight, and that's putting me at a tragic disadvantage, plus my eyesight's gone to hell the last few years.  I'm liable to be chasing a speck on my screen rather than an enemy plane then the REAL bugger will drop down behind me and pop, pop, pop and it's over!  argh!   ???

Anyway...wow, 700 score so far, OttO...sensational!  Keep it going and you're likely to end up a General!   ;D

Beo

Ok, chaps!  Pilot scores dutifully updated!   8) 8) 8)  Good job all!

Any pilots wanting to start this series is gleefully accepted, merely start with the 1st mission and fly thru till you catch up with the rest of us, giving us your results at the completion of EACH mission as you go along.

Salute!   ;D

A question for all of you.
Seeing that I do not have VP's mod nor Bat.  I would like to know if you have planes from
the SCW ?
If so that would make for a good mission to run here.....
DreamK made many planes for that time .....

He sure did!  Excellent idea!  My idea for now though was to try and keep it 'stock' planes/maps (more or less) so that no one would have to download anything 'except' the missions to play.  I just thought it might be easier for everyone if they could just download/install the mission...and go at it.  And by stock, I mean planes and maps that came with 4.12 5.30 mod-act which I had hoped would also include VP's add-on and maybe even the older versions of CUP/BAT.

Anyway, I'm game for whatever you guys want to try so just let me know.

Until we get some comments though, I'll continue to go ahead as scheduled, okay?   ;)

I think stock missions are the way to start as you say. Nobody has to worry about special DLs or setups for now. Just load in and fly. As we progress we can try different scenarios later. I am not against non WW2 action but anything 1937 to 1945 will be fine, including Spain, China, Nomonhan, as well as the main WW2 scenarios.
Personally, I have 4122 BAT3.8, 4122 Vpmodpack, 4134modact6.4, 4134 Ypack122, and stock 4141. I also have DBW7.1 saved on an old external drive which is gathering dust.

I have seen this in a closed post, and I want to make a small comment about it:

"just my tally system flawed.      I'll fix it into a new and better format as quickly as I can"

Hi Mr. Beowolff. Take it easy, it is not necessary for this to become a job for you. No matter how long it takes to implement a new counting system, as long as each of us posts their results, the information is safe, and the fun is also guaranteed.

************************************************
And speaking of Yak3:

Does anybody remember if that particular plane was (um, over-modeled like some of the Russian planes apparently were?)

I do not have this information, although using the IL2 Compare it can be seen that the best performance of the P-38L is above 7000m of altitude. To make this comparison, I had to open the mission in FMB to see which model of P-38 was facing us, I am not outlawed because I have flown the mission two days ago!

In addition, I suspect they were rookie pilots: they not only confused the target, believing they were attacking Germans, but also failed to coordinate with each other to repel our attacks. Completely newbies. What continues to surprise me is that we were as dumb as they were, enough not to realize they were allies!

Okay Pilots....   ;D

does this look okay to you???  Of course if it is, I still have information to accumulate and fill in but this is just example to show.  Does this give good, clear totals quickly read and easy to understand?

here's the new scoring totals page:

https://il2freemodding.createaforum.com/mission-planning-center/pilot-status-and-records/msg9529/#msg9529

This should make it easier for me to keep up with (and you guys can see your important stats at a glance...I hope!)

Let me know if needed changes and or incorrect stats/total/etc.

Thank you for flying with us!   ;D ;D

Hello Mr. Beowolff, the statistics table has been very good, it is very neat, and I hope that facilitates the task of updating it. I think it is a success not to repeat the dynamics of the first week, where two missions were flown: two missions is too much, double your work.

And we are still few, what would happen if we were twenty participants? That you would be out of work updating statistics. I hope you can make it as simple as possible.

I have seen my numbers, I have certainly flown four missions so far (I still have to fly the cactus), but I have arrived alive on base and have landed three times: in the second of Africa I landed without breaking the plane, being the base under attack, and with the engine coughing and smelling, but no injuries to my body. Then, on Black Friday and in Nis I returned to base without problems. I only died in the first one, I sank with my plane ...

S!

Roger, my friend... thanks for alerting me and I'll fix it in a bit!   ;)
