• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

ETO Surprise

I flew the first mission as a USAAF Bomber pilot in 1943 flying a Havoc. Took off in appalling weather, flew to the furthest extent of the the aircrafts range, destroyed the target and a train before getting home.
Weather slightly improved but as I touch down I see an explosion at the end of the airfield, then another and another, they were not aircraft crashing but bombs! over head i glimpsed aircraft up in the clouds.
Never had to land in an air raid before. Totally immersive!
Well done the ETO team :applause::applause::applause:
 
Thanks WF, we really appreciate those positve reviews. There is a lot of stuff in ETO that still remains undiscovered by many.:d

BB,
Just be sure the target of opportunity does not have a G_flakcar with the new 37mm gun.:d

Rabbit hunt turns in to a Bear hunt.

Yikes! O-1, those red balls of fire will probably scare the c**p out of me :isadizzy:.

I remember the impact of early modifications to flak, like high altitude flack, and better sounds, back in '05. It made sweat break out on my palms as I guided the b-25 over the drop zone...
