IL2 AIR COMBAT! OFFLINE COMPETITION
Y2021 - Week 16 / LIBERATION OF SAINT LO
The Battle of St. Lo has started. Several hundred army units now
converge and fight within the city. The 9th has been busy taking
the battle to the skies. We haven't seen much of the Luftwaffe
and that has given our fighter-bombers a chance to attack enemy
formations.
Our job for this mission is to enter St. Lo from the rear and
attack any Panzer divisions or enemy vehicles that may be
circulating within the city.

Y2021 - Week 17 / OPERATION CROSSBOW
Good morning gentlemen!
You thought this was over, right? Well no. Thanks to a couple of
birds who did very badly in Saint Lo, all of you will have to
thank them for spending another week in Normandy. I know, you
like. Anyway, like it or not, this is war, and you won't escape
from here. Or would you rather spend a while playing chess in
prison, like those two ...
Straight to the point. New reports indicate that the Germans,
hit hard in Saint Lo, have recovered and have resumed their
attacks with V-1 flying bombs, causing extensive damage in
English cities. Yesterday, thanks to one of our secret agents,
we were able to discover the location of the camp where these
rocket launchers are located.
Your mission, go there and destroy those V-1 bomb launchers. It
is a dangerous mission, follow the instructions and you may be
able to return home.
Good flight, pilots!

THE RZHEV SALIENT
Hello guys, today we start a new cycle of four missions, which
may well be called a mini-campaign. Starting today, we will fly
in the frozen Russian steppe of the winter of 1942, and we will
put ourselves in the shoes of a German pilot of I./JG 51, the
first Fw-190 unit on the eastern front.
These missions are inspired by a couple of campaigns, firstly
"I./JG 51 over the Rzhev Salient", a campaign for the IL2 Great
Battles, whose author is Juri_JS, and a CzechTexan campaign
available on M4T called "Battle for Rzhev - Part 1 ". The
missions are fictitious although probable, and are based mainly
on the missions of Juri. Obviously, I had to build them from
scratch, which for me is great, as I find great pleasure in
losing myself within the FMB.
Before entering fully into the first mission of this new
adventure, first we are going to make the conditions of the
competition very clear, because we are too many people flying,
and if we do not agree with the rules of the competition, this
runs the risk of getting out of the river.
The conditions of the competition are clear, and were defined by
Beowolff in the following post:

Naturally, if you have an accident during takeoff, you are
allowed a second chance. But it is not allowed to fly the
mission two or three times to see which is the best of all, by
now Beo has been very clear. The first attempt is the one that
counts towards the competition.
Now let's look at the historical context:
"On the morning of 25 November 1942 the Red Army, commanded by
Marshal Zhukov, launched Operation Mars. The aim of the
offensive was to encircle and destroy the German Ninth Army in
the Rzhev salient. Units of the Western Front's 20th Army
crossed the Vazuza River northeast of Sychevka and managed to
penetrate the German frontline held by divisions of the XXXIX
Panzer Corps. At the same time attacks by the Kalinin Front were
launched on the western side of the Rzhev salient in the Belyi
and Luchesa River sectors.
Fog and snowy weather limited the activity of both air forces on
the first day of the offensive and few sorties were flown. When
the weather slightly improved on 26 November, the pilots of
I./JG 51 were able to fly their first missions in the threatend
sectors of the front. Gruppenkommandeur Hauptmann Heinrich
"Gaudi" Krafft was the most successful Focke-Wulf pilot on this
day and claimed three Il-2s in a single mission.
I./JG 51, the first Fw-190 unit on the eastern front, had
retrained on the new aircraft between early August and the
beginning of September 1942 at Jesau in East Prussia, before it
was send back to the front. After a short and mostly uneventful
stay at Ljuban near Leningrad, the unit transfered to Vyazma in
October. Because of lacking enemy activity in the air, initially
there were few opportunities for the units pilots to test the
new Fw-190 in combat, but the beginning of Operation Mars
drastically changed this situation." (Written by Juri_JS).
Now to the point, and we go into the first mission.

Y2021 - Week 22 / PATROL IN KARMANOVO
For the moment the snowfall, that grounded us over the past
days, has stopped and we will use the opportunity to fly a
patrol mission over the Karmanovo sector. In the vicinity of the
town an arm of the Ninth Army is pushing the Russians back to
their lines. The primary targets are enemy ground attack
aircraft.
Good flight, pilots!

Small observation: To fly these missions, it is highly
recommended, although not necessary, the use of mod "Winter Map
Effects", by Gumpy. An old mod that can be found with a little
research exercise. If you cannot find it, I will pass it on to
you privately, but I will not publish links to other IL2 pages
other than M4T here.
You have a good day! ;)

Y2021 - Week 23 / AIR SUPPLY
[font=Georgia]"German counterattacks on 29 November, supported
by an armored train, cut off the Soviet troops that had crossed
the Sychevka-Rzhev railway line. The Red Army´s relief attempts
were greatly hindered by encircled German strongpoints that held
out behind the frontline, so it was attempted to finally crush
the las pockets of resistance in the rear. The situation eas
especially critical for a Panzergrenadier battalion commanded by
Major Steiger, that was encircled between the Vazuza and Osuga
rivers. Air drops of supplies and close air support by the
Luftwaffe allowed the unit to repell all Soviet assaults on
their position, till the survivors were able to breack out and
reach German lines on 1 December." (Written by Juri_JS).[/font]
Today's job will be to escort a pair of Ju-52s that will drop
supplies and reinforcements on the position where the troops
surrounded by Kampfgruppe Steiger are bravely resisting. Patrol
the area between the Vazuza and Osuga rivers at an altitude of
1500m, until the transports have finished their mission. Once
they have left the area and there are no enemy combatants in the
vicinity, spend your remaining ammunition strafing the Russian
troops attacking Steiger's position.

Y2021 - Week 24 / ESCORTING THE "PANZERKNACKER" GUYS
Today's job is to escort Henshel 129 flying low into the hot
front. After opening the fence that was closing on our positions
last week, now the Russians, repelled to their previous
positions, are pressing again from the north. An observation
plane has detected a column of tanks moving rapidly to the
south, in an area adjacent to the front line. The HS-129s will
take care of the tanks. And you will make sure that nobody
bothers them.
Good luck in your task!

Y2021 - Week 26 / ASSAULT ON LAE
Starting today we will be at the controls of a Mitchell B-25
G-NA bomber, operating off the shores and jungles of Papua, for
the next four missions.
These missions will be based on a selection from Stebas's
excellent historical Papuan Campaign, although with the
necessary modifications to adapt to the demands of this
competition.
****************************
First mission, ASSAULT ON LAE
[font=Georgia]"On May 25, the Allied Air Force went to meet a
bad day.[/font]
[font=Georgia]Six B-25 Mitchell medium bombers, belonging to the
13th Bombardment Group - 3rd Bomber Squadron, performed a
mission without escort on Lae, with the usual goal of hitting
air installations and parked plans in the forward Japanese
base.[/font]
[font=Georgia]They managed to lead the attack at low altitude,
but then, on the way back they were intercepted and trapped by
several Zero, who carried out a continuous and deadly sequence
of attacks.[/font]
[font=Georgia]In the battle that followed five B-25s were shot
down by the aces of Tainan." [/font]Text by Stebas.
Today you have the opportunity to become the only survivor of
this story. You will start your flight in the air, heading
directly to the Lae aerodrome. You carry 6 bombs of 500lb, that
allows you at least three drops. Your main objective is the big
hangars. As soon as you have completed your first and only
withering attack, run, son, run!
Hit hard and come home!
The mission, Wek 26
