Finally got around to trying out the new P47, very nice indeed

402 squadron takeoff and form up. Was Leakage red three. Everything went really well on our outward leg and Leakage red leader did a great job in gathering us all together to the rendezvous with our Spitfire escort and onto the target. All I had to do was keep him on my two o'clock. Then it got quite exciting and continued exciting right up to the moment on our return leg when my pc decided it needed to restart itself. Wtf? Sorry I couldn't stick around for the de-brief but my thoughts - for what they're worth; No question that our briefing and takeoff times will improve greatly over the next couple of missions as we all learn what to do. 402nd. squadron target was described as 'Ground Troops' I think. After we did our initial run on the target from 10,000ft. it became apparent that ground troops in PWCG amounts to a collection of flak, artillery pieces and vehicles spread over half a square km that only reveal themselves fully when you get below 3,000ft. This makes flak avoidance interesting! They were also engaged in a ground battle with our own nearby troops. Our flight leader and his wingman got the chop over the target but Leakage white leader took over command of 402nd. squadron quickly and efficiently. Leakage red four - Dennis - did a great job hanging onto my tail and covering me. I thought comms went pretty well considering we're DangerDogz but again, this is something that will no doubt improve rapidly over the next couple of missions. I hit the record button when we spawned in and then promptly forgot about it. Surprisingly the track recorder ran for forty minutes before hitting the 500mb. limit. We decimated our ground target leaving only one flak gun active before the LW turned up in the guise of four Bf110's. Our a.i Spitfire escort - all two of them - did stick around in the background and did engage a couple of low flying '109's on our return leg. Leakage red section - Dennis and myself - engaged two low flying Bf110's and claim two shot down. I understand that we won't be able to claim half a kill or joint kills but........ The first 110 we engaged dog-legged himself into Dennis's guns first and he absolutely nailed him and left him floundering along leaking fuel, smoke and coolant. When Dennis broke off, the target was still showing a red icon so I engaged and set his starboard engine on fire and he promptly went in. Dennis confirmed this kill. We then pursued another low flying 110. I made a brief pass and scored some hits and the rear gunner shot my right aileron off. Dennis made a pass and put rounds into him too and I then put some more into him and he went down. Dennis confirmed this too. On our return and just before my pc decided it wanted to talk to Bill Gates I brought the score board up and it had credited us with a kill each. On reviewing the track it becomes obvious that Dennis put much more rounds into our first target than I did and I feel the game correctly credited him with the kill. Of course, we don't know yet what PWCG is going to decide when it manages to produce a result but could this become a problem? Looking forward to doing this again in a couple of weeks and once again; Fen - big S! for doing this
