Six Final




Closing out Part Two of Operation Dynamo in World of Warplanes, here are the results of a quick, early morning, low tiered battle. Now, just waiting for Part Three and the finale....


 I see the upside to the 20,000 experience reward for completing this last round, a little bit closer to the Supermarine Attacker.

Six Five


With the amount of posts I have made recently involving the Supermarine Spitfire, no matter which variant, one could come to the conclusion I have developed an obsession with them.

Honestly, I haven't. Due to the limited choices in the British selection (namely the mid to higher tiers), Spitfires make the most sense for me to use (buying back the tier VI de Havilland Mosquito has been a reminder to why I walked away from British Heavies a long time ago).

Besides, I have wanted to see with serious interest if I could take a few from this iconic line of fighters and apply the lessons I have learned from the American Mustangs....


On a side note, I was able to capture and enlarge a scene from the current Dunkirk hangar, a Spitfire being pursued by a Bf 109....


Not quite the way I had hoped it would have turned out.

Six Four


For Victory number twenty-four, I queued up the tier VI Supermarine Spitfire V and got Lighthouse, the English Channel as imagined in World of Warplanes.

Here is how it all turned out....

Six Three


I think the last time I attempted an Allied premium aircraft was the "Ghost in the Sky" mission from November 2015.

Although the thread that recounted how I got the Vickers Venom and my first thoughts based on the performance during those initial battles is long since gone, I do get the impression the plane has been....positively adjusted along the way. Over this past while, I have noticed this aircraft is a lot more maneuverable then I remember and the firepower is definitely now up to "British Reliability" standards.

Low and behold, it just happened to be the plane I selected for Victory number eighteen, just I wouldn't live to see the end of the battle....

Six Two


There wasn't any de Havilland Mosquitos on hand during the Battle of Dunkirk. In fact, they wouldn't see the Battle of Britain either, since the first flight of the prototype would take place in November of 1940.

However, I decided to buy back this star of both "633 Squadron" and "Mosquito Squadron" ("The Purple Plain" gets an honorable mention) to help with my progress through the Operation Dynamo event in World of Warplanes....

Six One


For the "30 victories needed" portion of World of Warplane's Operation Dynamo, I have decided to do things a little on the random side.

Without rhyme or reason, I will pick any available British aircraft from my garage carousel and just fly and fight. Then, after every sixth win, I will make a video showcasing the performance and results. With the first and sixth victories out of the way, only four more videos to complete this short series (somebody will crack my little math code, I just know it)!

Pulling a Rabbit from Thin Air


Part Two for the Operation Dynamo event in World of Warplanes is underway and things have started off....in a very magical way.

I am almost at a total loss for words on how to even describe the results from what I just experienced, good thing I could just show it in a video....
