Well, it wasn't all a loss for the 485th, some of the jokes en-route were slightly palatable. Just glad we were in a JU52 or something, as that route would have taken us 3 hours at that flying speed 😁

I never knew that you could get a good curryworst on the road! 😉

How to use the Periscope... T34 From gunners position Left Shift + T to look down the sight then Left Shift + T again. Originally I thought that this was just a more zoomed in view. When in this view use "Visor Horizontal Adjustment" My key settings which I think are default is Right Shift + , (comma) and Right Shift + / to swing left and right. You will see in the top right of the screen the number of degrees you have moved the sight from the original point. To re-set back to the centre (I assume where the barrel is pointing) "Reset Visor" Right Shift + ' (apostrophe) M4A Sherman From Commanders position (closed hatch) Left Shift + V (Nestle to visor) Right Shift + , (comma) and Right Shift + / to swing left and right Right Shift + ; (semi colon) and Right Shift + . (full stop/period) to move up and down To re-set back to centre - Right Shift + ' (apostrophe) Panzer IV From commanders position (closed hatch) No periscope but Left Shift V gets close to the visor. Then repeating Left Shift + V moves clockwise around the turret to the other windows at right, right rear, left rear, left, front.

I was testing uploading a 4k screenie, as until I asked Rog to work some magic a couple of days ago, you couldn't, it would resize to a lower res. As to the landing, you better ask Tom.

Well for this F-14 crew, it just got a LOT harder... https://www.f-14association.com/tales/crash-landing-a-crippled-tomcat.html Geez...!

3090, at the moment mate, you've no chance without risking a purchase from eBay, but I understand that there are lot of 2080s turning up in 3090 boxes that way. There are likewise no 3080s but there are some (few) 3070s now being offered (scan.co.uk had about 8 different types of 3070 available yesterday - never mind, I just checked again and they've all gone) 3060's and 3060TIs are faring no better. As Crash said, EU suppliers are your best bet as Brexit makes shipping out of the UK 'interesting' to say the least.

I would use an EU supplier as the Irish lads who have bought from the UK are having import issues.

485th did not have the best of days ! Red 1 (myself) and 2nd Lt Artois, got hit by 88 Flak at around 11500 ft alt well into enemy territory. Had to hand over 485th to Capt Cloister (Friar) and make for a friendly airbase with holes, no right aileron, damaged right engine and three fuel leaks. Stellar Artois also had serious damage and made for his nearest friendly airbase. We both made successful landings thankfully . After completing an extended patrol over enemy territory Capt Cloister made the decision to bring the remainder of 485th home without attempting any ground attack which given the circumstances was probably wise. All was well with the 5 ship formation returning home at around 1500ft @ 250mph when Mobius had a sudden and catastrophic airframe failure resulting in his demise ! We think due to an earlier flak burst causing a delayed structural failure ? So, no enemy aircraft sighted, no ground kills, two damaged aircraft, two long truck rides home, one lost aircraft and pilot..... HQ... please send hookers and whisky !

402nd Attacked targets at Emmerich, triple AA and transport. Estimated some 35 pieces destroyed. As we still had some bombs left, we ventured south and attacked AA guns and field artillery. Red 2 - dd_Jabo got hit by flak, nursed a/c to Ophoven base. He landed safely there. Rest of us (4 a/c) landed at home base. Good show 402nd!
