Ciao Ragazzi!
When I say WOW, I don’t mean World Of Warcraft! A big Salute to Cappe, Gin, Jimmi, Nepe and Walty for your performance, or shall I say Out-performance of the Allies in yesterdays DF testing the 4.11 patch.
I recorded some tracks and looked through them last night.
Axis flew FW190 A6 and Bf 109 G6 at the end of the evening, but mostly the FW.
Mutual support was fantastic! There was always a wingman that could help. I noticed you flew each section in trail when attacking and this worked very well for you. You always attacked in strength and made sure you had the advantage in numbers. Very smart!
The only time you lost aircraft were due to collisions. Once with a P47(a little unsure as the planes were far apart, but Mikke lost control and Nepe’s wing broke off). Another was with Hiawatha’s A20.
Cappe became an instant ace this evening and was in the ZONE. Your flying was GREAT! I was shot down twice( perhaps more, but I’m only admitting to twice :rolleyes:). Both times an FW190 #27 flew in close and surgically removed parts from my aircraft. Very cool and calm Cappe.
Cappe doesn’t get all the credit because without the great fighting of his wingmen keeping the pressure on the P51s he could not have bounced his prey.
Allies had a difficult evening. Three P51s against 4 FW to start, but I must say the mutual support was very poor. Also aircraft handling was below standard, with many stalls and spins. This should not happen guys. You are way too experienced for this. Please correct me if these stall/spins were intentional, but it did not look that way. But even if we had controlled our aircraft better we still would have gotten clubbed to death by the FW190 wolfpack.
The aliied ground attack was good, with minor losses(2 to flak and 2 to enemy air), but we did not destroy all the tanks. We wanted to reenforce or fighters when Mikke and Mram left. Not that it helped, lol.
It was great to see 51 fight with such confidence, aggression and teamwork.
I know 331/602 can do better and look forward to more of these squad nights.
On another note.
Nepe and Walty. We need to have a chat, so we can set up some training topics. Not that you need it after last nights performance:)
