Big Week Seow Update

[DD_Fenrir]

Just to keep you guys in the loop, our squads representation on the International SEOW Co-op is, against all odds, going quite well!

The Big Week Campaign: February 1944, the targets; aircraft factories in Germany and the Occupied Countries. This involves sorties of 2hrs+, no externals, cockpit on and extra cushions for reduced bum numbness! It's a mix of daylight escorted bombing raids by the USAAF 8th AF in Fortesses, Liberators, Lightnings, Ponies and Jugs and night missions by RAF Bomber Command in Halifaxes and Mossies.

Currently, the main protaginists are myself Rox and Jedi, with the latter two distinguishing themselves with 2 kills apiece for no deaths with a highlight being Rox's excellent efforts intercepting a Do217 in his Mossie - at night! I have a solitary kill to my credit - in a P-38, of course! - and a godawful attempt at bombing from a B-24. Didn't hit a shnitzel! However being stuck i the top turret - thanks to a bug when Rox as my rear gunner timed out - and therefore forced to both fly, formate, do the bomb run, and land from this rather awkward position I feel a little better! Sufficed to say perhaps I might have not done so well from the waist gun!

We're going to Duisberg tonight, escorting more B-24s, with the escort comprising P-51C, P-47D-22 and the Dogz in the good ole P-38J! Really looking forward to it!

The long airtime, no icons and no externals won't be for everyone but I found with all the workload of navigating, watching out for e/a, trying to stay with the bombers, managing your fuel, dodging other friendly escorts and generally just flying the plane, that time passes quite quickly. Plus Jedi can be relied upon to generate conversation at any point, requested or otherwise!

If you're curious let me know, at the moment our slots are accounted for but with some availability issues over the passed weeks and the option to ask for more spaces, you could well get in on a mission if you think this might tickle your pickle.

Server flies 4.101 modded with HSFX 5.01, with Big Week Modpack.

By all means let me know if you wanna try it out.

Salute Dogz!
