Over the last few days the Three Mousketeers (Shortbus, Dave and Toe) have been receiving plenty of stick from fighter jocks in our teams. Even to the point that one dickhead in a Yak-15 told the bad guys where we were. Basically, according to him, bombers are useless and bomber pilots are selfish f*cks who contribute nothing to a battle. Strange observation to make when game after game after game, the thee of us reduce the bad guy ticker by enough to ensure a victory, and then all our fighters promptly die and defeat is snatched from the jaws of victory.
So, bollocks to all that, and we decided to take out our Yers on Alternate History Berlin. We were determined to prove that heavy bombers can win a battle and this map was ideal for making that case. Three mini bases and an airfield to drop ..... luvvly jubbly.
The video tells the story of that mission. Shortbus and myself went for the two right bases and Dave went for the left. You can tell our planes apart by observing the following: Dave's Yer has writing on both wings. I have writing on one wing and a bomb decal on my tail. Shortbus has no writing on his plane at all.
The end result was that all three mini bases were dropped as well as the airfield.
Yes, all three of us were shot down. However, we were last men standing and so we achieved a victory for our side that they did not deserve.
Boy ...... did that piss off the bad guys.
You know what I say .... "I feasted on the tears of the whingeing fighter jocks, and then used some to clean the windscreen of my mighty Yer."
To make it even worse for the bad guys .... after the airfield had been dropped and the bad guys ticker was going down, a Mustang came screaming in to kill Shortbus. However, he was promptly lit up by Shortbus's gunners and crashed.
Enjoy .... if you fly bombers. If you don't ..... tough!!
For those who haven't seen it yet. Dave's part of the mission produced enough footage to make a stand alone video which can be found here.
