The SDnet B-17 Crew the 2nd.

Following the untimely demise of the previous B-17 crew raised from SDnet, I was wondering who would be interested in volunteering themselves for service on this second Flying Fortress campaign.

Please, sign up here and volunteer for a position - I'll likely be taking pilot or co-pilot unless some of our aviation trained members wish to volunteer their names for those roles. See the link prior for the original crew listings.

Bombadier -
Navigator -
Pilot -
Co-Pilot -
Top Turret -
Radio Operator -
Ball Turret -
Left Waist Gunner -
Right Waist Gunner -
Tail Gunner -

I'll try and do a mission or two a week once I have a crew assembled and get some good reports together as well as screenshots. And hopefully we won't have a deathtrap mission again.

erm do we have to have the game, I don't


If not mark me down for Scuicide Jockey (the bottom Ball Turret gunner, aka known as the poor bastard that's most likely to be killed), I am very good at leading enemy fighters.

You don't need the game, its single player - I just want to populate the plane with known names. I will probably also need a few reserve names for when people get injured/killed.

Bombadier - Ryan Crierie (Shep)
Navigator -
Pilot -
Co-Pilot -
Top Turret - John Doe (Nitram)
Radio Operator - John Doe (Darth David)
Ball Turret - Collin Witz (Yosemite)
Left Waist Gunner -
Right Waist Gunner - John Doe (brianeyci)
Tail Gunner - John Doe (Thirdfain)

Some new additions - Darth David gets the radio op role, aka - utility man. Usually the radio op spends more time running around manning guns and performing first aid than ACTUALLY manning the radio. In one case I went to the toilet and came back to find the pilot manning one of the waist guns, the co-pilot dead, and the bloody radio op flying the plane...

My real name is David Harris so you can stick that down in the name field instead of John Doe.

Co pilot! If we miss with the bombs we swing around and kamikaze dive the damn target, bail out and kill Hitler with our service pistols.

Great leader, how could you miss with HAB ordinance. Even our WW2 era bombs would incinerate Berlin from any hit within continental Europe...

Mere 'incineration' or 'thermal annihilation' hardly meets HAB requirements for a successful bombing raid.
