IL2 Flight: Guadalcanal, Wake and Big - E

Post by Laser » Mon Dec 29, 2014 11:00 am

Just wanted to post a couple of screenshots of Lurch and I in the Ole SBD.. While the your chances of coming home in one piece are very slim, it's still one of my favorite aircraft in IL2. Cyborg and Sniper also joined us for this flight!

The beauty of IL2 is the ability to man any gunner positions in the aircraft.

Lurch is the gunner and I'm the pilot

Lurch & Laser different angle of view.


After the mission, we had to land on the carrier deck on ONE WHEEL! Yeeee Haaa!

Another angle, Notice in all the excitement I forgot to jettison my bomb!


We are now in an A-20 Havoc over Wake Island.

A-20, the window has bullet holes in it.. About to go down!


In the raft is Laser, who says rank doesn't have it's privileges? Cyborg and Lurch along in a couple of AI's are floating in the water watching for SHARKS! LOL

At least we all got out, before the aircraft sank! :-)

Yes and nice 2-wheel trap on the carrier, with Laser at the wheel and Lurch in the gun turret. We lost a wheel over the virtual Florida Island, Guadal Canal.
