RAF Bomber Command Needs Crews!

[Sirkaithethird]

2 options to open this up to more people,
We make up a group, or squadron and go with that,
Or we use a prexisting unit and tweak it so the start is earlier

[RumikoOhara]

@Sirkaithethird

I'm for having more people but small groups are easier to manage and don't suffer so much from the waiting for the other's to post issue

[Sirkaithethird]

@RumikoOhara
Tell you what I'll launch this once we get 3 intrested people,

[RumikoOhara]

@Sirkaithethird

Hmm...perhaps I should go hunting for that elusive third?

[Sirkaithethird]

Go for it,
I picked names out of a hat And I ended up with No. 207 Squadron so RAF, operating the Avro Landcaster heavy bomber,
B.I
Machinery 4 Rolls-Royce Merlin XX V12 engines, rated at 1,280 hp each
Armament 8x7.7mm Browning machine guns in three turrets, 10,000kg of bombs
Crew 7
Span 31.09 m
Length 21.11 m
Height 5.97 m
Wing Area 120.50 m²
Weight, Empty 16,705 kg
Weight, Loaded 28,636 kg
Speed, Maximum 448 km/h
Service Ceiling 8,160 m
Range, Normal 4,320 km

You would be based in RAF Bottesford
Sorry for false advertising now the name is join the Raf
With a crew of 7 it would be more intresting to have at least 1 full aircraft.

@Sirkaithethird
I liked the old Beaufighter

[Sirkaithethird]

@RumikoOhara
I don't know why,
But I never liked the look of the Beaufighter

[RumikoOhara]

[Sirkaithethird]

Figured it out, its the stupid turret on the later designs,
Sure more guns... but really

[RumikoOhara]

Lancasters aren't exactly beautiful either

[Sirkaithethird]

They are beautiful in their own brute Force kind of way
B-24s are better

[RumikoOhara]

Libbys are the best in the Bomber roles

[Sirkaithethird]

The work horse of the Bomber force didn't get enough credit

[RumikoOhara]

The Lancaster was a latecomer to the Libby which was deployed for active use two years before the Avro Lancaster

[RumikoOhara]

I just saw that Beaufighter, that's the Night Fighter version

I think Dynamo Frokane and myself thought this would be a Fighter Pilot game

I'm game for either but love the Idea of Knights of the Air

[Sirkaithethird]

@RumikoOhara
Tell you what... if/when you guys get shot down or we reach spring 1945, I will switch to a Fighter role. I'll even leave the squadron up for you decision. Sound good?

[RumikoOhara]

I'm good with it however it goes

[Sirkaithethird]

Still need more people

[RumikoOhara]

I'll try

@Sirkaithethird@RumikoOhara let me know more about the story, maybe all of us 3 can help run this together?
