View Full Version : THE BLENNY BITES BACK! - 17th JUNE 2000UTC SERVER 1
Hi
So the "Boomer Blitz seemed to go ok. Next time its a RED affair so to your Blennies men!! It goes without saying that regular BLUE pilots are welcome to sample the delights of the Bristol Aircraft Company's finest!!
Several key differences to the last - first we are likely to have our little friends from Saturday against us, so ill be looking for lots of fighter support and actively engaging this!! Ill also be using the time to try and speak to a number of experienced pilots about target selection in each mission so that we may have a better plan at the turn of the server.
I'm going to my level best to give this raid the best chance of success. I hope you can join us!!
A fuller "thing" will follow when Im less hungover
S!

Looking forward to it! Not had a Blennie raid since February, with ATAG_Marlow, Highseas, Vampire, and Dix! :D:thumbsup::):salute:

A few years back my buddy got an old Dodge Charger to drive at his wedding. It was a 'General Lee' version from Dukes of Hazard, complete with no swinging doors. Window entry just like the Good Ole Boys.
The bride's exact words were, "ya, I'm not getting in that."
He was not one of my smarter friends.:doh:

AWESOME IM IN. Also about an hour before opps I'd like to offer what I know about flying the blennie to any new bomber pilots. Just the basics nothing fancy. In very much a low level off the deck flyer. I can offer engine settings for max performance and load outs. My focus is skip bombing ships and low level tree top hight of airfields

Not into getting high much..drunk..hell yea..lol..yea I'll PM you when I'm do e with work. Love to know how to bomb at altitude

pick a BIG target, forget everything you might know about IAS/TAS, divide by six and hit the button.
Just a bit more on things and stuff.
Whilst the last event was fun I suspect some of the RAF fighters had more of it than us poor bombers. Leading you all into the jaws of death on the first mission was, in hindsight, not exactly what I had in mind.
We are doing a lot of work to give the Blennies the best chance of at least making it to the target this time. We are developing at least one plan for each server mission so there will be less of a "ok-where?" nature to the next get together.
BLENHEIMS
If you are thinking of flying a bomber on the night I urge you to get a few hours in it and make sure you can:
Start and roll out quickly
Manage the engines in a climb and at altitude
Adjust the Alt, Speed and Slip on the Bombsight
Understand and use the auto pilot and adjust course using the Directional Giro adjustment
As before we cannot say for definite what the type of bombing will be until we see the map but if it comes to level bombing we will have an experienced lead who will be able to advise us on the settings to input into the sight.
If you can set controls to use the turret, do so.
As well as taking Blenni bombers I thought it would also be fun to have a few Blenni Fighters in the mix too. If this appeals to anyone please PM me so I can put a list together. There will only be a few so if any selection is needed it will be done on experience in using it as a fighter rather than inexperience of using it as a bomber if you know what I mean.
RED FIGHTERS
If anyone wants to take an active fighter role we would welcome it. I will see if I can get a fighter channel set up if its needed. Those of you who like to fly in squads or groups are likely to be given specific duties if you are up for it. The raid really will depend on fighter co-operation so again, if you think your group or squad would like to take an active part, please PM me and we can discuss how best to employ.
BLUE FIGHTERS
Bring it on! - no quarter asked - none given. Seriously, I really hope that the blues can put on the defensive show equal to the red's last effort.
TIMINGS
We will start roistering at 1930 UTC (2030 London Time) on the "Boomers Casual" channel in the ATAG TS (at the top of the squad list). Hopefully we will be blessed with a server mission start at 2000 UTC (2100 London Time).
I Hope to see you there!!

Good Morning
Well with just over a week to the assembly ("event" is too grand a title) I'm interested to so just how many of you who use the forum are thinking of taking part as either a bomber of an actively involved RED fighter. Its only an indication for me and so there is no commitment but it would be good to know some rough numbers.
So..... - if you are thinking of flying a BLENHEIM - could you click a LIKE for this post
If you are thinking of flying a RED FIGHTER in support of the bombers (that could bee sweeps, escort, interference) - please could you click the DISLIKE button.
No need to comment or post a reply.
Cheers

I am just too polite to dislike a post ...
But its fighter for me.
Hey guys, I am really sorry for this.
I was just stupid, not trying to be funny.
I don't think Mezza and Drock were "disliking" the post at all just being witty themselves (perhaps even making sure it was clear who was flying fighters.
But heck - Leave poor DerDa alone fellas :-)
Theres a post right above it that is just crying out for dislikes!!

Looking forward to it.
Hi,
With a couple of days to go before the raid I just thought id give you some idea of what to expect on the night.
Firstly - this is not an "event" as such. So there are no special dispensations given on the server. Last time the gods smiled and a new mission started more or less at the time we set for launch. This was a fluke. Quite rightly ATAG will not pull running missions for our sake. This would be unfair on other players.
So, just like the JG4 monthly flights, we go with what we are given. If there is enough time to fly at least one mission before the server turns, we go. If there isn't (say if there is less than 20 or 30 min) - we can either shoot the breeze or arrange to re-muster when the new server mission starts. Either way, there should never be more than a 30 min wait.
Its looking pretty good for fighter escort at the moment too so I think we can hope for a strong defensive provision to and from target. To help me co-ordinate with any fighters, I will likely be asking for a couple of extra channels in the TS if its possible to make whispers possible without interfering with players on the main Allies channel. One thing for sure - I have no intention of hiding us from either Freya or TAB 7-1 if we have cover :-)
simply because I want as many people as possible on both sides to see what I hope will be a decent spectacle.
I hope to see you all on Saturday!
S!

Hi Boo,
just to let you know: FG28 will be there with Ceaser (Blennie), Maru and DerDa (fighters). We will join the ATAG TS and try not to block coms with our outlandish chitchat :-)

MISSION ANNOUNCEMENT
Hi, Guys.
As some of you know, Boo is not feeling very well. He had hoped to join us, and lead us Blenheims to victory.
Unfortunately, he will be AFK for a few days.
He asked if I could hold the fort for tonight, and take lead of his Bombers. Will do.:salute:
Yes, it won't be the same without Boo, but we need to stay in practice. So let's not disappoint Commander Boo.
In approximately 1 hour, be prepared to take to ATAG's skies once again.:thumbsup:
RAF pilots please meet in ATAG TS/ BOOmers ready room in the squads section.

So bummed out. Could not get the time off work for this one. Any chance of doing this over a two day period in a weekend so the ones that miss one day we can at least catch the next day...sorry guys. I would have given my left N** but it was given away on the last bomber day

Amazing sorties!
In the first one I more or less had to watch the very successful attack of the Blenheim formation from the far six. I would have loved to play a more active role but at least had a great sight.
Later there was a massive clash in the Boulogne area with Blenheims, Spitfires and Hurricanes approaching low and plenty of 109s attacking from altitude. As a "quickie" from this attack:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgx58msY5x8
Well that was rubbish no one turned up and there was no action :goofy
Great night guys, The Blenny boys won the day :thumbsup: , there was action for everyone from deck level bar brawls to high altitude jousting, bomber hunts, duels, chases, everything!
You could take off on one sortie and spend half an hour dicing in contrails then take off again and straight into a mass dogfight!
We have a great community here and :salute: to the guys who shot me up and the guys I shot up, we had a laugh on TS which makes the gaming even more fun, it's the players who make this game so addictive!

Might be the windows 10 joystick reshuffle issue. Windows 10 reorders your USB devices during certain updates, hibernation wake, or when you plug them back in a different order. You can mitigate with the last two, but updates are a stinker.
Unlike other sims, CLOD uses Windows' generic joystick number assignment name and not the USB device's PID serial number (or other hardware serialization), causing the seemingly random scrambles. I've also been hearing about users having problems with Warthog HOTAS.
My ISP went down on Saturday from lightning and they barely managed to get it up again before the meet. :smash:
As Zeb said about the peripherals being caused by Win 10.
Try this fix by Snapper. Think it might clear up the problem for you.
https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21117&highlight=peripherals
If not, there are several threads under the "peripherals" and similar headings that might be helpful.
Great fight yesterday.:thumbsup:
Unfortunately, without Boo some of our coordination efforts were lacking. Still, it was good fun, and good to keep our bombers in practice.
I estimated our Blenheim losses around 40.:ind: this was a direct result of our fighter support being overwhelmed. The handful of fighter escorts had a hand at winning the map, but we need to get these guys some help. Dedicated escort flight and long range interceptors will have to be improved for sure.
Our ability to taxi, take off, and collect is getting better every flight, and this has increased our sortie numbers allowing for more destruction. Airfield mishaps have dramatically dropped, too.
We may have won this battle, but as far as stats go, we would not have won the war. That will change with every future mission, I recon.
Hopefully, we get some good videos of this attack. There were so many large battles this time around. Everyone on our comms were having fun, and at the end of the day, that's what motivates me to be a part of this.
Thanks to all who participate and make this community a better place.:thumbsup:

Thanks Boo for organizing this, and DRock for leading! I had a blast the whole way, and that first sortie was especially magnificent with a solid mission plan, good formation and fighter cover getting us in on both targets. I also think I accounted for the only takeoff foul-ups; I ended the first sortie with controls disabled and flying on trim, and forgot to re-center it before starting the 2nd. Lesson learned, 'check trim' added to my start-up checklist.
I will be pleased to take part in any more of these you do, especially Red-side.

Haha!
May be my dear, but if you should be in front of the guns of a 110, you are probably shredded with your Hurry... ;)
Here's my view of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th low level raids of that night

So, I've managed to grab some screenies from the first Sortie (only another 3 an a half hours left to go through).
I put em in an album rather than clutter this thread up too much, link is Boo's Boomers Part 1 (https://goo.gl/photos/UXcqimyW41W7BVAv9)

For the Blenny nerd-noobs like myself out there concerned about burning up engines or keeping up with the formation, I added some additional data (which is probably more art than science, ha) in the main "How to fly the Blenheim" sticky. Sounds like, despite some hilarious setbacks, things are getting a little easier for the air bosses up there. ;)
Cheers.
