Nice screens mate, looks busy! Its great that you guys are enjoying the scenery too, I'm looking forward to the first shot of the Alamein box, or if anyone manages to escape from Tobruk once the 27th Panzerarmee start shelling while you are still on the runway.
I see you found a convoy that has pulled over because one of the trucks has a boiling radiator, you can see it on the far right, your appearance was their worst nightmare...
The second and third shots capture Kristorf's Can-Opener skins, authentic No.6 Squadron markings and weathering, gorgeous!
Love the last shot of take-off at Gambut, northwest airfield by the No.274 scrim nets, there goes that P40 past you, with the crewman sitting on the wing, on his way over to maintenance north field. Like pierre1946 says, I'd let him go first!
As mentioned in the briefings, stay high when spotting for targets, don't hang around when you see those harmless looking flak puffs either, those 88s are good! A spiral approach will defeat ground gunners though, once they start firing at you, nose down, throttle back and bank turn, line up, fire, full throttle, keep banking on the climbout. A nice spiral swoop in and out will keep 'em guessing every time.
That's for spotting traffic, for strikes on known locations go in on the deck to avoid the 88s then pull a pop-up attack, blast everything (you do this in rocket armed Hurris too, later on), then back on the deck for egress.
Trouble is I have let nobody off the hook this time regarding enemy fighters, they are usually there, you never know, you have cover, sometimes. At other times, you are the cover, all bets are off!
