Achk!!! :o What? A mere 75 freakin' points for risking my
neck and nearly dying and taking out three trucks in an enemy
convoy?
D'oh!
Man, this damned mission was HARD (for me anyway)! First off
for some reason my CR-42 kept trying to kill me...it was horsey
as hell, bucking around like a wild bronco and acting
ill-tempered. If I dropped my attention for a second it was
peeling off into a sideways power dive and heading for the
ground in a scream! I duno', maybe my stick settings were
acting up. Anyway, so I fought that all the way to the
target...got there and could NOT find the Rooskie supply
convoy...oh wow. Wow but the ground (and anything ON the
ground) was next but impossible for me to see in that GREEN
hellish tundra or whatever it is. I couldn't see crap through
the CR-42's tangle of wires/struts/wings/dashboard, etc... and
of course the Russian's camo green paint blending in with the
tundra didn't help either.
I followed directions and flew back and forth several times
along the route looking for the convoy...no dice...and was about
to give up with I got my arse nearly shot off (I was VERY low by
then) by a crazy deadly SPEW of those hell-greenish Rooskie
tracers! D'oh! ??? :o :(
Okay, FINALLY the Russian convoy located (but not the way I
intended.) I hauled my stick around in a super tight turn,
almost too tight...and almost plowed into the ground again...got
it under control and strafed the hell out of a Soviet truck at
pointblank range with my light-as-hell toy
machine-guns...ka-blooie up it went in flame and smoke. One
quick kill.
I climbed fast as I could, got some good altitude CAREFULLY
trying to keep the convoy in sight as they would blend in and
near vanish every time I looked away for a half-second. Came
back around, picked my target again and screamed down in a power
dive, dropping my bombs (almost too late) and fragging a couple
more trucks. Two more kills. Then I swear but EVERY effin'
Rooskie in the convoy decided to target me and I was like a bat
caught in a dozen flashlights ….holes opened up in my wings,
nose, all around me...[i]I was riddled with enemy fire.
Trailing a thick plume of oil/smoke and petrol, I told my lads
to cut out and did so myself as fast as my missing engine would
get me out of there.
Literally my engine cut out several miles from my base but the
CR-42 had enough lift to get me to the end of the field and
down.... bumpity, bumpity, bump...roll and I hammered the brakes
and stopped. My plane was shot to hell but I'd survived and
nailed THREE enemy trucks when earlier on I'd been convinced I
wouldn't get any.
And got a lousy 75 point score for my trouble. >:( >:( >:(
I should have taken my bottle of brandy and slipped away into
the woods and or behind a hanger to empty it, --I would have
likely gotten more points for being drunk than for risking my
life taking out THREE hard to kill (and find) enemy vehicles!
Salute![/i]

Actual Mission Name: Rascaeti Supply Convoy Attack
Date single mission actually flown: 2-25-2020
Results/description of mission:2 tanks & 6 trucks
Mission Score: 230
Misc. Info if desired: We got to the field and did our walk
around and check our planes.
All ok so we mounted up and took off. I got us lost for awhile
as flying with a hang over is not a good thing.
Once I got my bearings all was good .Weather was not bad and the
wind was light.
Once I spotted the convoy I made a pass over them to check for
any machine guns .. Well they had them. They just missed me and
not by much.
Got lined up for a bomb run. Had them all lined up and dropped
my bombs .. Would have been nice if they hit just one but oh NO.
I have no idea where they went .Darn sure was not at a truck.
My two wingmen dropped thiers in the middle of the near by
field.
I guess they were trying to kill Gophers.
We all got turned around and started shooting the trucks and
tanks
The wingmen did a great job as we wiped out the convoy not one
truck was left.
We all RTB safe and sound... Headed to the pub and some R&R..
Do it all over again tomorrow .....
Returning to Base.

Mission Rascaeti supply convoy attack
Date flown 2-26-2020
Results Nil
Score Nil
Debrief
Took off with two wingmen. Flew for about 13 minutes before
spotting the convoy in clear weather. Dive bombed the road and
missed. Forgot to order wingmen to attack. Swept in behind some
trees and shot up the trucks but flew through a tree, misjudged
the height and my left wing hit the ground. Spun in and died at
zero feet. Should not have flown straight after a catnap!

It has been a very entertaining mission, with a high risk of
collision when flying low among the trees, but carefully, and
containing my nerves and my bad habits, I was able to eliminate
the objectives one by one. My mates killed themselves. Now that
everything has happened, I am thinking of flying this mission in
BAT, with a more complicated climate, and with the new and
beautiful Dimon CR42-B. I think it will be a good experience.
Thank you very much for these missions. Now is the time to
prepare for twin engines, right?
Regards

Thank you Otto. Is that allowed. It was my own fault as I rushed
into the mission.

Excellent, E69_Haukka! A wonderous score considering the
difficulties I experienced with this mission. ;D I had so
much trouble even seeing the enemy trucks let alone shooting
them up...though I did get two with my bombs. Those devilish
vehicles seemed to blend 'right into the ground' for my old
eyes! G'ah!
@ Lars....
Sorry for your loss, my good friend. :( :( :(
I understand the catnap situation, my brain (and eyes) are like
this most of the time, unfortunately. D'oh!
As to do-overs....
guys unless we have a computer glitch that is beyond our control
and messes up our mission/run... I can't see us doing do-overs.
To be honest it's been personally hard for myself to 'not' do a
few do-overs---if you get my drift on this. But I resist
because starting do-overs is an unstoppable human emotional
crutch. If I do one... and do not like the results, I'll more
than likely do yet another, and another, and even another until
I finally get the result (s) that I was hoping for initially.
--Which these games being on Scout's Honor' with us having to
trust each other to be fair... such an event wouldn't be fair to
the rest of us that aren't doing such. So... as tempting as it
has been, I've resisted and will continue to resist. After all,
we come back to life the NEXT mission anyway which gives us all
a chance to live again and correct any mistakes we've made with
the new mission and gain back any lost scores by trying harder
to do better.
;) ;D ;D
This puts us more on an equal footing (via the honor system)
where we all live, or we all die, the same way. Then if we are
killed we resurrect the NEXT mission to life and fight again.
(though in my case that doesn't mean I'll actually do
better...lol) As hard as it is for me to put down my death and
zero score for all to see, I cannot lay any blame on anyone for
it other than myself. So I take my licking and continue on
determined to 'try' and do better (if that is possible for a
near blind and often silly pilot like myself. Ha!)
I hope I'm making sense with this, and that if so, it is
agreeable to you all.
S! :D
Beo

Thanks, friends, for the concepts. This mission was very good
for me, but it is not the result of chance, but of preparation.
Excuse me if I sound pretentious, it is not my intention. In the
past I have studied together with friends the best way to do
this type of "work", and over time and practice a method is
developed, which sometimes works and sometimes does not, but
always gives us a sense of order.
Nor is it the first time I do this, I have done it before, at
the first attempt, of course.

Unfortunately I am at a serious disadvantage with the language,
so some of your expressions get lost when they pass through the
translator filter. But I am very good at reading between the
lines, I have developed intuition, like all of you, and I think
I begin to understand.
I don't know what "do-overs" are, the translator says they are
"pending tasks", but I think you are talking about repetitions.
Repetitions of missions when they do not go well.
Friends, like everyone here, I am committed to You by an oath of
honor. I've done it with myself too. And it is not an effort for
me, it is natural. I am aware that the result I have presented
from this last mission may invite you to think that I have done
it several times until I have done it well. I'm sorry, I don't
have time for that. The mission has lasted an hour. Then, I have
seen the track (record) to take the times of each event and I
have taken the photographs, I have written the brief, I have
translated it into your language, I have reviewed it to see that
everything is correct (within my possibilities), I have ordered
the information and I have published it, all this, in a relaxed
holiday afternoon, has taken me three more hours. After
publishing the result it was time for dinner. I have no time,
nor the desire to gain an advantage over anyone, by abnormal
means. I fly my missions with maximum difficulty. I take note of
waipoints, flight directions and places in a paper notebook. Not
much more to say. Sometimes I do things well, sometimes very
badly. I'm lousy leaving an entire plane on the deck of a
carrier, I almost always break it. But I have a lot of
experience with biplanes, and to CR42 I have flown it many times
in the past, that is my advantage.
In the mission report I have attached the track (record). I have
learned a lot from watching the records of others, I invite you
to see my record, not with the pretense of teaching you, but to
see at what point you can improve what you are already doing.
*****************************
Mr. Lars, I have hit trees thousands of times. To be very
honest, I think I also have the record of crashes against trees
this week, last weekend I was flying a Vonofterdingen mission
with Trojan in Vietnam, a very good mission, well set, and the
plane is beautiful, but I am extremely clumsy with that
plane:[font=Verdana]: I flew the mission (I tried) thirty times
exact, ten in BAT and twenty in VP Modpack, and thirty times I
hit the trees, not once have I returned home! I doubt any of you
can beat me on this! Still I have 30 well done takeoffs
...[/font]
Regards
