IL2 AIR COMBAT! OFFLINE COMPETITION
Y2021 - Week 13 / STRIKE IN MARINGYGood morning Gentlemen. Today we have been transferred to a new series of four missions, which are originally based on the great
Lightning Strikes Campaign (M4T), whose author is IceFire (calm guys, we have already investigated it with InterPool, it is clean) where we will fly over Normandy with the 367th Fighter Group ( 9th Air Force).
However, whoever has flown this campaign in the past should not expect to find the exact same missions: I have modified, added, corrected, adapted and built on top of what was done, even changing everything at times, so these are new challenges, adapted to the demands and times of this competition. But it could not be otherwise, since the original requirements for this campaign published in 2006 were the following:
"Pacific Fighters Merged installation V3.04m"Anyway, there goes our recognition and gratitude to the creator of the campaign, as we always do, since the basis of my work is the creativity applied by him more than a decade ago.
Well guys, I see you very relaxed today ... Anyone want a coffee? Please don't ask for sugar, this is war!
Let's get into today's topic, which requires an introduction.
This time we will be operating in Normandy, always from the same airfield, which, like any well-organized airfield, has certain simple rules. Do you remember that graphic where the circuit around an airfield was shown?
We will have to keep this diagram in mind in base operations, especially in landings. The most important thing to take into account is the landing direction, and the place where you will park your plane when the mission is finished, because you should know that the boss wants us to do it well and that we leave the plane under its own camouflage mesh. This speeds things up so your team of mechanics doesn't waste half an hour guessing where you've left your plane.
We will operate from the Airfield Sainte Marie du Mont, at C9.4.
This field has two parking sectors, Sector A, only for single-engine airplanes, and Sector B, where the P-38s and other larger birds rest, and where clearly you must also go.
Your parking spot will be marked with a cross on the ground. Review the following diagram to find out where you should park your plane. This applies to all missions for the next four weeks.
Okay. You are now ready for your mission. It is July 24, 1944, and the fighting on the ground is intense, although the Luftwaffe is a bit absent these days. Anyway, do not trust too much that they do not appear.
Your role in this mission: ground attack, in a place that will be indicated to you in the brief (as this information is obviously confidential, it cannot be said here, we do not want the Germans to know where we will attack just by reading in this forum.)
Read the brief carefully, study the route, go and do it!
Good luck and come back healthy!
