ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

RAININ'HELL caught fire over ABBEVILLE and went down in the Channel. 3 chutes but only the wounded heroic waist gunner survived to be rescued.

JUICY LUCY'S TRAGIC END

A FLAK HIT in the PILOT COMPARTMENT over ROTTERDAM WIA both pilots and DESTROYED the FLIGHT CONTROLS. B-17 crashed. Uncontrolled bail out - 4 chutes.

I like the way the FLAK scatters about randomly. It is quite fun rolling thru FLAK and seeing if it hits rather than rolling on some table. More nerve wracking and impossible to figure the odds - just gotta run the gauntlet.

I also enjoy the fur-balls as the ESCORTS tangle with the BANDITS - more interesting than 'removing # BANDITS'.

Generally - it's working how I want it too.  A mission takes 20mins to 2 hours depending and I have a high level of automation which helps me not to miss something out.

For now the extra B-17s in the formation have no function though I left them able to place guns and hit location. For now I'm happy just to have them as decoration. They don't drop bombs or place FLAK either.

JUICY LUCY'S TOUR CONTINUES

After Pilot, Co-Pilot and Engineer taken out by FLAK the Baombardier took the controls and landed the B-17 with no damage. All crew except Bombardier and Radio-op bailed out before landing and all survived except the wounded Pilot, who was killed.

Here's Juicy Lucy and crew prepped for take off for the next mission - Amiens.

New Screenshots - lots of changes

LITTLE FRIENDS TO THE RESCUE!

2 kills and the third driven off. Nice work!

 Not such great work was the 0% accuracy with the bombs - but the bombardier has been killed by FLAK so it's not his fault.

NEW B17F counter

I realised my bare metal B-17 was a G model and not an F, so I recoloured it in green. Quite a lot of work but fun and a nice result.

I also have new fighters both BOGEYS and LITTLE FRIENDS. Pix of these to follow. All my fighters can bank left and right now - which looks nice.
