Dambuster reports on RDP mission

Sniper62, 617. Dambusters reports: " Well for myself anyway. After flying two bombers to the factories and getting intercepted by two 110s and some how getting away, i decided to take up a fighter as my own escort.

While on the way to tgt i could see interceptors lifting. flying W to meet up with the first bomber, i fly right over the bomber and see another con flying E. so i intercept it and its a 110 flying E about to dive on the bomber. he pushed down on the stick and i roll and pull around as hes starting to diving down. so i switch to the bomber and start to weave and once i get it to roll back i can see tracers wizing by and can hear plinks on my DB7. well anyway that gave my fighter just enough because the 110 had to go up then back around. by that time i was on the 110s 6 starting to fire, and then 110 got a few more plinks into the DB7. the 110 started smoking all different colors. then some how i got his pilot and he went into dead stick diving down. w00t the bomber is still up and flying. its slowed down but still flyable, i waited to long to switch back and missed the drop on tgt. so i kept it on autopilot and kept it flying E.

The second bomber was a few mins out now so i turned around and met up with that bomber. it got to tgt and droped just fine no defenders showed up, so i turned it back W and took the fighter E to meet up with the other bomber. once the bomber got turned around it was flying at 260kph and i got it lined up and was about 15k from tgt. i meet up with it and are acouple KM over it. i switch back and get in the bombers seat, can see the tgt through the bomb site. zoom back to make sure my speed and site alignment, and see tracers coming straight at me. all i could think was "dang, almost made it" then the bombardier gets hit in the legs it goes black but hes not dead. sweeet look through the bomb site and shes shaking all over but i was able to drop all 8 in the box.

So i switch back to the fighter and look down and the 110 has turned around and is coming up on the Db7s 6 so i dive down and put some tracers past the 110 and he rolls over and dives out. we get to MG and another 110 come zooming by, so i go up and he turns around and i get on his six. i shoo him away with some BBs and he rolls out and dives. just to try and climb back up a minute later. so again i go up and roll back around and start diving on him, i decide to fraps it and when i hit my fraps button the game freezes.........uh oh after 10 secs it comes back and i look around for the 110 and i guess i zoomed past him. i roll over top of him and get on his six as he trys to roll and put some BBs into him. he rolls out and dives just as i see tracers fly past me and hear plink plink. i look back and a 110 is over shooting. that 110 starts to fly out E and the other 110 is low, so i turn back around and get on the 110s 6 but when im starting to catch him the second 110 shows up on my six. so i roll back around and make a pass on the 110 behind me, putting afew BBs into his right wing. he rolls out once again and i decide to bug out as the bombers are safe and im down to 175 MGs left. ive had enough distance on them to stay out of guns range untill i hit around hasselt. i look back and can only see one 110 so i turn around and see if i can take him down with 175 BBs. i get on his six start liting him up but no cigar so i roll off and see a the second 110 coming at me. do a little roll and he goes zooming by. so i dive out and hit the deck, we made it to about 25km from buss when the second 110 gets in guns range and im seeing tracers fly past me. so from there on out im jinking and jiving past trees and hills, and hes just trying to hit me with anything hes got. he gets close then i jink and he goes up and back down. some how he doesnt manage to get hits on me and i make it about 5km from bux and he breaks off! w00t! So both my bombers and my fighter make it back and land. friken awsome mission, had my hear pounding like crazy the entire time. just had to tell some1 lol . "
