I was busy buzzing tanks in CFS3 when along the side of the road I came upon a challenge. Well knowing me never to turn somthing like this down I wheeled away to get a good run in for screenshots.

As far as I know this has never been attempted before. And No screenshots have been posted... So I am the first!!!

The last one is proof that I survived. ;)

These telegraph poles can be found along the edges of roads. I have only tried in England so I'm not sure about the rest of Europe. I started at Dyetree and followed a road intill I found them. They stay in the same place so if you find them once then you can find them again!!!! ;D

I seem to remember a certain very nice Tiger Moth doing the very same thing, and not all that long ago either, so " under the wires" is not a first......sorry to inform you........... 8)

I discovered the telegraph pole on the second day that I owned CFS3.  I had just completed a succesful low level strafing run on a column of german armour when I banked right keeping as low as possible .  I saw a brief glimpse of telegraph poles and wires, thought "Cool, that's high detail!" and promptly crashed into the damned things and died.

Laughed my butt off.

These days when I do a low level attack on a column of german armour I climb first, then roll right!

Nice shots by the way.

Will ;D

Nice flying Woodie! I haven't been that low except when dishing it out to shipping.. I'll keep my eyes peeled next time.

Well you see Ozzy I am a firm believer that the best way to take out a ground target is to fire up at them you see. Plus I like flying along roads stiching up bridges and convoys.

But with ships.... My bombs to marginal damage and my rockets always fall short... Then I usually hit the mast... :-[

That's why torpedoes were made.

True, but you don't get torpedos on a Typhoon... :P ;D
