Grabbing some gas....

A Spitfire IX Wing (2 squadrons) in DCS 2.7

Always been there. Latest update however models fuel tank explosions to reflect how much room is in the tank for explosive vapors.

I was thinking about the possibility of making a mission where fuel could be limited and you have to find some supplies before you run out.

Why would one ever want to slide ones fuel?

Let's not do that Mick, if we did then 402nd would've lost like 4 pilots this mission!

485th comprising of a 4 ship and 3 ship flight, (so 9 in all🤔 taking into account multiple personalities), were assigned to escort a Sqn of B25 bombers. After having taken the trouble to climb to angels 18 for a rendezvous, all we saw of them was a trail of descending smoke in the direction of the rendezvous point from afar. Shortly after that sighting we were assaulted by what can only be described as “absolute Fokkers”. The chaps were in no mood for fun and games having realised that our bomber boys may well have been similarly assaulted..... so we killed them. Superb wingman antics from Lt David Reginald and 2nd Lt HP Pookie throughout by the way, bloody good show ! No joy finding any bombers at all so ground attack became our focus. We had decided not to escort bombers with bombs so straffing would have to be the delivery system for today. Funflak had been experiencing technical difficulties from “the get go” as you yanks like to say. He was able to make a forced landing at a forward airfield. BA was placed under Capt Rea’s wing for his first mission, all was well until he fell out from under it on the way home mainly due to technical issues. We are hoping he will be back in the air with us soon. The ground attack went well, with great team work from pairs yielding a good haul. AAA this time seemed to be on steroids, always picking your approach up early and switching to the next threat readily, not happy with that, not happy at all. The current crop of AAA crews need to be terminated so that they are replaced with reluctant rookies ASAP ! Returned to home base with 5 undamaged P38s with 5 well toned and highly photogenic pilots at the controls........ What !?

Ask Artie - we don't stop for roundabouts either...

For Funflak.....or anyone else

More new clouds!!! 😍⛅
