I call foul there was no defensive fire from the bombers this was just seal clubbing alot of you would have been chewed up if the bombers could fire back.
May I suggest that maybe next mass campaign you guys do, each flight take off together in a certain order and have a pre-determined altitude to climb to before starting to orbit so they can establish stable flight? Also having a designated ground coordinator that releases each flight to start taxi after the previous get airborne could be helpful as well. Plus a lot of these pilots could really use more time on tail-draggers.
GR could really use some training days. Have all the guys get together and run through Chuck's guide and get everyone to follow the proper procedures for takeoff, weapons usage, systems, etc. instead of just hopping in a plane and winging it on takeoff.
Well done, but you know in real life the B-17s would have had their gun turrets manned. It was quite hilarious watching on the tac view just how far off course SIMBA went. Isn't that dude always getting lost? You should put him through remedial training.
Attacking American heavies from behind was very dangerous and avoided by Luftwaffe pilots because return fire was most effective against enemies approaching from that direction. Why aren’t the bombers shooting back?
Didn’t see much from the rear gunners on the B-17’s, kinda weird. You guys were getting too close not to be shot at. Obviously you were shot at, per the condition of the plane upon landing for Cap. Just not as much as I expected.
Yeah very strange. There should have been tracers from all the forts. Sliding in slow and laying into them 2-3 seconds should have been absolute suicide. Still, can’t imagine this isn’t damn close to what the real thing was like.
Great that after the grinding terror of the transit there was a surprise (semi) duck shoot to finish. Agree that the Mosquitoes seemed very impressive Bomber killers. Another great video 👍🏻
I have done dozens of these attacks… sitting at a B-17’s “six” like that you get one kill and get pulverized by their defenses. This looks a lot of fun, but if they are not firing back, it’s not truly a challenge,
Cap please put together a few GR highlight videos. Maybe do one with just maximum boom boom and also do a “Don’t worry, we’ll cut that out”compilation. It’s guaranteed gold.
8:30 what are those markings? Romanian? 8:50 11 saves the russians some bullets 10:35 another one bites the dust 13:05 and another one's gone 15:00 wait for it ... wait for it ... and BOOM 17:10 and another one's gone 18:50 worst take off ever
These ww2 dcs campaigns are my favorite. Keep en coming please.. I notice in your videos every so often it pauses for a second or so.. is that the recording or your experience playing in real time?
pretty lame, expect nothing less from this creator. A whole formation of B-17's, and not one of them is defending itself by shooting back. And no fighter escorts?
Runway handling is so hit and miss, why not just spawn in in the air? Take off is the most unrealistic part of your, otherwise "spot on", vids and impacts my, the most important person on the internet, enjoyment. Good vid though, thanks lads.
Is there anyway you can model mini guns instead of .50 cals? I always thought those would be much better for air defense, what you lose in lunch you gain in rounds sent and is like aiming a garden hose.
U need to do shorter videos with an compilation with the best moments of the mission. 10 minutes videos would be awesome! ;) Another thing. It seems the bombers are not fighting back? Dumb AI?

I've seen Cessna's put up, more defensive fire than those B-17`s

Those warbirds... harder to take off than to land. :)

I saw no tracer fire from the belly gunners, no fire from the waist gunners. It must be a glitch.

@@MrJohndoakes Here's why th-cam.com/video/5ot_d0aG844/w-d-xo.html
This action was as good as any movie, the flames looked very real and oily. I felt like I was in the plane going through the mountains with poor vis.
Are the B17's returning fire?
The space around that bomber formation would be consisting mostly of hot lead and burnt gun powder. There would also be a little oxygen and what not.
Great that after the grinding terror of the transit there was a surprise (semi) duck shoot to finish.

Another great video 👍🏻
That green plane reminds me of the movie A Christmas Story. "Ralphieeee I can't get uuuuppppp!"
I see no fire from the Fortresses.
Love the vids! Cant wait for next upload
Would be nice to have a B17 to fly
BS, Terrible.
B17s not defending themselves?
yer 1 of the 1st things i noticed..
Interesting video, great. What I am missing is the defence .50s
Was rooting for that little green fighter to get off ground 3rd try.
B17s gunners not firing or defending themselves!
All the gun turrets on the B17s forgot to load .50 ammo.

It's like the bombers didn't have any gunners in them... why?
It’s kinda funny how everyone in gw is so bad at taking off in warbirds
"109 nearly in my bomb bay, that's gotta be Cap."
6:31
sign reads
"to eject, pull lever. if nothing happens, bow your head and pray"

Ok
Cool
And a “watch this” comp
Or everytime cap screams in excitement!! But those compilation videos take a lot of work to make also
YEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!! Best campaign vids for a long time, been waiting for this one 🍻👌 Great job GR!
8:30 what are those markings? Romanian?
8:50 11 saves the russians some bullets
10:35 another one bites the dust
13:05 and another one's gone
15:00 wait for it ... wait for it ... and BOOM
17:10 and another one's gone
18:50 worst take off ever
And anothah one...anothah one...and anothah one.

Got to say, awsome shooting at the bombers from the 190, all doing really well with the bombers actually. Look at you all doing a thing.

Could you do something with The Ju87 Stuka with 37mm Cannons!🙏
Perhaps the b-17 gunners got at the morphine and pep pills in the med kits before being attacked. Old version of the speedball?
The black and blue roundel... what nation or flight group used that? I have never seen that combination before.
Weird the B17 aren't firing back
Why aren't the AI gunners in the B-17s firing at the attackers?
What happen to “wonderfully well?” I like it better than very well.
Seem more like Betty's the way those 17's ignite.
Anyone know where the base is?? Thx Grims for a great time!
C'mon,
straighten up and fly right.
Some of you need to use flaps on takeoff?
everyone trying to take off was a great show lol
Why the B-17 are not shooting back?
B17's no defensive fire?
Man Cap giving me serious anxiety flying right up Simba's ass in bad wind with unstable planes😬😄
Cap would be the dog that keeps sniffing other dogs arses! I think he deletes all collisions
Why do the Germans have Mosquitos?
Pretending to be BF-110 I think.
Amazing getting that many people to stay on mission! Well done GR! Love watching these missions, need more!
The cross talk is amazing, it amazes me you guys can ever hear anything.

What?
Onest
