Almost as proud of my flight as I am of myself for remembering
that they were there to assist me. Took off to the SE after
being quickly briefed that 4 very important bridges were in
danger of attack. Met Bombers from slightly above and turned
onto them, raking them one at a time until each one turned away.
I shot one down, and soon the bridges were safe. Did a quick
flyover to ensure our success. The Russian escort fighters
decided to attempt revenge, but were reluctant to follow us all
back to base. I had one lined up for a shot, but ran out of
ammo. Landed safely, with little damage. Movie will appear soon
to detail our adventure.

Extraordinary, friend Tsisqua, that's what is called "mission
accomplished like in the movies." Thank you for risking your
life for the Finnish homeland. And also you come back with all
your boys and with all the planes! We cannot be happier! I'll
talk with the Boss, you deserve a promotion. Thank you very
much for your flight. ;)

Mission: Week #11
Mission Type: Bomber Intercept / Bridge Protection
Date Flown: 03/14/21
Version: VpMod Act
Results: Survived, Primary/Secondary Mission Success, 2x Enemy
Bombers Destroyed, 1x Enemy Fighter Damaged, 600 pts
After Action Review (AAR):
Recieved briefing from the Boss about protecting 4x bridges in
sector F-11. I took off with my group without incident. We
formed the group and headed for our assigned sector. The
briefing stated that enemy Cossack bombers were headed our way.
As we approached the sector one of our recon planes, a
Gladiator, reported sighting enemy bombers west of F-11. I
ordered the group to head for the enemy bombers.

We were at an altitude of 700 meters when we sighted the
bombers. I ordered the group to attack. I then dove and
intercepted an enemy bomber on his six and opened fire. The
bomber's port engine nacelle caught fire. The bomber dropped
their bombs and turned back for their home base. I broke off and
found another target. I rolled over and made another attack from
the six o'clock position. I hit the bomber hard with my guns. I
think I killed the pilot as the plane rolled almost immediately
crashing into the ground and exploded.

As I pulled up and away from the strickened bomber I saw another
aircraft. I did not recognize it. I knew immediately though that
it was an enemy aircraft. During our briefing we were told that
the enemy had a new fighter and we might see it during this
mission. This must have been it. I pulled up into her before she
could get her gun sights on me. One thing I noted right away, it
was fast, allot faster than I was. We had quite the aerial dance
for sometime. I was able to [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif]m[/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif]aneuver onto its six ... once. I let go with my guns.
I saw my rounds impact on its starboard wing. The enemy fighter
turned for home, running from the fight.[/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I then ordered the
group to return to home base. All enemy bombers but one were
destroyed. All four bridges we were ordered to protect were left
"unharmed". Our group returned home safely.[/font]

I complained about the processing, but I must have watched the
pre-completed preview at YT. Actually isn't bad, especially if
you can stream at 720p.

Debrief:
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif][size=2][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif]We took off safely. Simple navigation following the
directions. Incredibly, I was so confident that I knew the
route, that when I reached the fork of the river in Sanok
(E-11.9), instead of following the river on the left, I
absentmindedly took the one on the right, skirting Sanok.
Apparently I liked the place. [/font][/font][/size]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif][size=2][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif]Soon I realized that the landscape was unfamiliar to
me, I began to nervously look at the map, the rivers did not
coincide, while I was in these tasks, I saw two contacts far
away from my nine, and a little further away, two others. .. I
turn quickly towards them, while signaling my pilots to attack
the bombers. [/font][/font][/size]

I put full power on, but I've wasted a lot of time, and the
first pair of bombers are heading straight for the bridges. The
train driver seems to have realized what was happening, because
he accelerated his locomotive to full speed. It was a hell of a
race between the Russian twin engines and the locomotive, I was
the last one and had no hope of getting there ... I saw the
bombs fall a few meters from the rise of the bridge, but they
did not explode, so the bridge continued intact. I let those two
walk away and took advantage of my position to turn around and
go in search of the second pair of bombers. Fortunately I found
these two head-on. I attacked from below without success. I and
a colleague chased after them, emptying our cannons on them. One
of them crashed just across the river, the other fled away
smoking.

Soon I saw shots from a fighter, the well-known green tracers. I
could see a slender, unknown, very modern fighter attacking our
Gladiator observer, who defended very well against Russian
attacks. I ordered a rejoin of all fighters, and we immediately
went after the attacker. We soon discovered that there were two
of them. They were very fast. It was impossible to reach them.

Today has been one of those days when I feel like all the
rabbits are escaping me. The boy in the biplane and another of
my hunters were ready for when the enemy fighter ran out of
power, when that happened my pilots were there to give him love.
The Russians decided to move away, one of them badly damaged. We
regrouped once more and headed home. All landed safely.

Thanks for your generous comments, Dhumphrey and Bird. It really
hasn't been a good flight for me, I got lost like a goose on a
golf course and was late for the appointment, although not
quite. That situation annoyed me a lot. I survived anyway, and
will be able to fly next week. What I liked the most is that you
guys enjoyed the mission more than I did, that's my prize.
Cheers!

After Action Review:
An alert! I had to quickly leave my cigar and drink behind and
leap into my cockpit and take to the skies on our urgent mission
of protecting our bridges from the enemy. We took off, gained
altitude and straight away headed for our patrol area. Sure
enough we quickly spotted the incoming bombers and I ordered our
attack. I hit one bomber with a head-on pass and got him
smoking, then spun around nimbly upon his tail dodging his rear
gunner fire and broke his wing off (at ultra close range) with
my guns.
I got another bomber smoking but lost sight of him as an enemy
fighter (one of the new types?) buzzed me and gave me a burst.
I tried to follow him but could not gain on him...he had great
speed! In the mean time one of my fellows must have finished
off the bomber I had shot into. Well, there's kills for all to
share, eh?
I swung in behind a bomber heading for a bridge and zig-zagging
and jenking and swaying about dodged the gunner fire until very
close... with my crosshairs on the cockpit area I opened up with
guns blazing and saw the plane literally come apart at the seams
from my red hot slugs!
Kill two!
I latched onto another but was again 'out of ammunition!' This
is maddening to have a target rich environment yet not enough
bullets to kill them all. Perhaps my shooting is irregular or
just sloppy and I'm wasting ammo?
I sicked my wingman upon him though and he got the kill. None
of the bombers made it through our excellent defenses. I did
loose a man though due to those 'new' enemy fighters...drat
them! We did chase them off though and they left in a big
hurry. We flew on to our base and landed successfully and being
low on petrol I taxied up to our fuel storage area for a refill.
All in all a favorable mission and certainly a fun one. I'm
thinking my commander may mention me in a dispatch over this
one.
Congrats to E_69 for such excellent work! ;D

This has been one of the most entertaining missions for me,
especially since it is my own idea and I really enjoyed creating
it. My fear while building it was that it would be too difficult
and impractical, but all of you passed the test, including me.
Congratulations Beo for another good mission completed on the
base and with objectives clearly achieved.
You've quickly caught up with the missions, good luck on the
next mission # 12, the farewell to Finland ...
