No he's not, he's parked behind the buildings on the far right, and he's about one pixel in size, so he's not visible :wink: I know it because I airbrushed out the aircraft labels
And GK, it kinda is, and it's kinda not... it's just a very flak intensive target we're attacking, and you've seen the video
Oh yeah, and it's not a Co-op mission, it's a cooperative dogfight mission, so that we can respawn, it also means that we have to line up manually, making it slightly more impressive in my opinion

to quote riffraff 'its deadly' usually to us, if 14 take off about 4 make it home, we loose at least 2 due to mid air collisions the rest from battle damage. but its a laugh. if anyone can hold a b17 in formation for 20 minutes and think enough about their situation to not hit another plane then they are more than welcome to join in at some stage, applications to viper!

You guys have to deal with wind and wind gusts :?:

No, there's no wind set, and to be fair we're more than enough worried about our own teammates hitting us in mid air or the 88mm flak by the coast of Norway than wind :wink:
But yeah, if anyone wants to to a 20 minute flight each way to target to get gutted with us just drop me a pm
