Symphony No. 7 for Burnination's 7th Sortie

Описание: 10th Bombardment Group – Ruhr Valley Strike
25 December 1944

The 10th Bombardment Group launched a high-altitude daylight strike against a German airfield in the Ruhr Valley. Multiple B-17 formations crossed the English Channel, assembled over the continent, and proceeded to the target under fighter escort.

Enemy resistance consisted of moderate flak over the target area and repeated fighter interceptions, including Bf 109s and high-speed jet aircraft. Defensive gunnery across the formation proved effective in driving off attackers, with several confirmed and shared aerial victories. One escort fighter was lost after an engagement, though the pilot successfully ejected and recovery efforts are ongoing.

During the ingress, a minor mid-air collision occurred between two B-17s within the formation. Both aircraft sustained damage but remained controllable and successfully returned to base. No bomber losses were recorded.

Bombing results were assessed as highly effective. Multiple crews reported accurate releases and verified impacts on the airfield and associated defenses, including the confirmed destruction of at least one AAA battery. Overall bombing accuracy and formation defensive fire contributed to a successful strike.

Mission Result:
Heavy damage inflicted on enemy airfield.
All bombers returned to base.

Live, Tactical, and Community-Focused Combat Flight Sim Gameplay
With a "healthy" fixation on WWII and the so-called golden age of dogfighting.

Whether you're an experienced sim pilot looking to flex your skills, or just trying to figure out how not to taxi into a tree, you're welcome here. I consider it a privelege — the sky’s more fun when it’s full of friends.

This channel is focused on immersive combat flight sims, real-time teamwork, viewer interaction, education, and chill lobbies full of bloodthirsty pilots.

I stream live with no delay, actively chat with viewers, and prioritize requests for aircraft, mission concepts, and "can we try this" chaos. If it flies, I’ll fly it — and I’ll either learn it with you, teach you what I know, or take notes from someone more experienced. I’m always down to learn, and I never get tired of answering questions.

Not really into being a sitting duck in formation flight? No problem! Come join us anyway — and hop on the ENEMY team. I usually broadcast my location and intentions, so you're more than welcome to fly out and meet us.

Not every creator welcomes "stream sniping," but personally, I think it makes things more exciting. It’s worth the bad K/D. Nobody cares about my K/D, least of all me. I land bombers on carriers and fly under bridges just to see if I can... I usually can't. I'm here for a good time, not a high score.

My goal is to bring as many people into WW II combat sims as possible, in a way where everyone can have fun. If you want to be part of that mission, we’d be glad to have another pair of eyes on the horizon (or even another bandit on our tails!)
