Mission results week 09
By: DHumphrey Date: February 28, 2021, 2:38 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Date flown: Feb 28th, 2021
Version used: VpMod Pack 4.12
Results: 5 bombers destroyed, 1000 pts, survived
After Action Report (AAR):
My squadron took off from our home base without incident. We
turned north-east as per our orders. We located the enemy bomber
formation after roughly 10-12 minutes. There were 15-20 bombers
sighted, maybe more. I ordered my squadron to attack the
bombers.

I then dove into the enemy formation to make my attack. I hit
the bomber on my first pass causing a fuel leak. I then puled up
and rolled keeping positive G's on my aircraft then came on the
enemy's 6 O'clock. I open fired and the aircraft caught fire at
the wing root. I then pulled away any found another target.
Again I fired on the wing root and again the enemy bomber caught
fire. I repeated this same tactic again and again destroying 5
bombers until I had run out of ammunition.

I then turned for home. As I approached our base I couldn't help
but notice that it had been attacked. There was quite a bit of
damage and there were numerous fires around the base.

I was able to land safely. A total of three of my flight
survived the mission.

Notes: This was a very good mission. Lots of fun !!! I did
record a "mission failure" however. I believe the primary target
was selected as the destroying the bombers. My feeling is the
primary should be set as landing, giving the time allocation of
1:30. This is more than enough for mission completion. Assign
the target of destroying the bombers as secondary. This should
solve the mission failure issue. :)
All in all I really enjoyed the mission, well done !!! :)

You have done an excellent mission! In my tests I did not shoot
down more than three bombers. Thank you very much for your
return, I really do not handle the subject of primary or
secondary objectives, and I left it as I found it. Effectively,
the primary objective is assigned to a group of bombers. Please,
if you can, send me a copy of the mission with the corrections
that you propose, so I will better understand how it is done.
Again, congratulations on your flight, and thank you for your
enthusiastic participation.

Haukka,
Here's the mission with the updated objectives. The primary
target is landing at home base, using the "recon" target, set
time for 1:30. I set the enemy bomber formations with a "hidden"
target set at 25%. I used hidden so that they are "not" viewable
on the players map. :)

Friend, I greatly appreciate your help and goodwill, you are
very kind. I will study the fixes to better understand how to
apply them in the future. Again thank you very much.

I did something I almost never do: I forgot to retract my
undercarriage on takeoff. I flew the entire mission with my gear
down. I also flew full-real navigation; I figured that since it
was a scramble mission I had less chance of getting lost. Turned
to a heading of 40 degrees, after some correction, and soon
spotted the incoming bombers, never once noticing the green
lights under the compass. Made several low passing-shots, and at
least one of which had to have caused some damage to the enemy.
I managed to catch up to one bomber after his drop and set his
left wing on fire. All the while complaining about how difficult
it was to catch him (with my stupid gear still down). I now
believe that I was lost. I saw an AI Storch with Finnish
markings and followed it into a friendly airfield. It was when I
intended to lower my gear that I discovered it had been down all
along. So I had to lower it back down, then came in too hot.
Being unfamiliar with the plane, I flared to soon, dropped too
fast, and broke my undercarriage. I lived, with a meager score
of 250, somehow getting a "Mission Complete" message along the
way. (?) I'll be sharing a very funny video of the entire
adventure, soon.
Clown Out.

Hello Tsiqua, you have done a good mission. Forget the detail of
not having raised your landing gear, it has happened to all of
us at some time. The important thing is to fly, and also you
have been given the complete mission, something that I have not
achieved when flying the mission (I will upload my result this
Wednesday). If you had fun, the mission is accomplished.
Thanks for participating, friend. I'll wait for that video.
Welcome!
************************
Guys, the invitation to participate in this competition is open
to everyone. The more we participate, the more fun it will be,
and not only for the pilots, but also for the ground crew ...
someone has to cook dinner, after all.
Cheer up, you'll like it!

Misc. Info if desired: Mission flown in VP Modpack
Debrief:
We were in the officers' canteen finishing our breakfast while
lazily rambling about a thousand nonsensical things, when the
door was abruptly opened. It was our squad leader, who was
coming to call us for an urgent job. A ship on the shore, a few
tens of kilometers north of here, had detected a large formation
of Russian bombers heading this way, towards our base! We wasted
no time, we ran to our Fiats, which our mechanics already had
ready and with the engine running, we jumped into our cockpits,
and took off ... After a few minutes of flight we spotted the
enemy formation, there were many ... I thought that It was rare
for them to come without a fighter escort, obviously these
Russian pilots have very high self-esteem. But so do we. With my
pilots, we took a bit of altitude, looking to get on an
intercept course at 1 o'clock highs for the first bombers. When
they were getting closer, I gave the order to attack; we dive in
and start to do our work.
I chose a bomber and attacked him, as soon as he dropped his
bomb I abandoned him and went for another, simply seeking to
fulfill the order that the boss gave us before taking off:
"attack until the bomber drops his bomb" ...

So I attacked several of them, getting three (maybe four
bombers) to drop their bomb before reaching their target. We
soon flew over our base, which had already been bombed, there
were too many bombers to prevent any of them from hitting the
target. I chased them for a few minutes still, getting a couple
of them to go away with severe fluid leaks. I returned to base
and landed with one of my pilots, it was not a very elegant
landing, but the plane is whole. The boss was waiting for me in
his office, he told me that I share the takedown with the boy
who landed with me, and that we prepare for more surprises. I
put my fingers to my cap, tapped the heels of my boots, and
headed out of there to the canteen. This time coffee and whiskey
for me!

Well done to you both Tsisqua and Haukka for surviving the
mission. Getting home in one piece is the main thing as well as
having fun. I enjoyed watching both of your videos. :) Those
bomber tail gunners can be ruthless. One item of note about
those Russian bombers, once you set the wing root on fire you
can set up on another target. The fire will eventually cause the
wing to blow off and the bomber will go down pretty quickly. :)

Having a smoke after a bit of food and wine and got the alert of
a massive bomber formation inbound. We all dove for our planes
and immediately took off, climbing to altitude and heading for
an intercept coordinate. We soon spotted the inbound bombers
and I pulled around and dove onto the tail of one IMMEDIATELY
taking brutal tail gunner fire! B'ah! I had forgotten how
accurate those scum were! I jinxed about out of their line of
fire and dove slightly below them, opening up at point blank
range with my guns...those guns ARE weak, but at that range
effective anyway. My target immediately began to smoke and burn
and I had barely turned away from him before KA-BLOOIE he
exploded!
I bagged a second one in the wing roots and as he burned and
lost altitude I forgot him as I bored in on yet another one...
this one was cagey, and seemed to dodge my bursts 'just as I
would fire'. I kept with him though and just as I got into a
good position I got my second kill notification (the smoker I
had let go.) I went ahead and pumped more hot lead into my
third victim and suddenly he lit up all ablaze and a wing
snapped off...he was a goner. I got my 3rd kill notification.
I was at low altitude by then and flew by his smoking crash on
the ground...no survivors, they were burning in the hot blaze.
Good! The scum had recently killed a friend of mine and this
was ample payback!
A wounded bomber suddenly flew past me and I whirled to finish
him off but alas had no more ammo. G'ah! Disheartening!
Anyway, so be it... so I turned for home and landed safely...
sadly a 'few' bombers had gotten through and we had some damage
to the base and a few of our planes were burning. Too bad, but
I had tried to stop it.... however I did get the Target
Complete message so knew that my commanders were okay with my
efforts.
