This mission is the first in a series of handcrafted campaign missions where the prior event results will help shape the focus of later missions while trying to represent some of the actual flow of the historical campaign. I am going to post a Mission Briefing in the forum in the days before each mission is run so if you want to take the time you can be well briefed on mission objectives. 1 October 1942: The German army has crossed the Kerch strait and is nearing the port city of Novorossiysk. So far they have the Russian army in retreat but as they enter the mountainous coastline

If anyone is familiar with Cason’s YouTube channel, you’ll know that he a retired Kiowa pilot that took the unique route of Army Captain, to Warrant Officer, so he could fulfill his wish to fly choppers. He’s been working with Polychop on their DCS Kiowa, and his channel is great. He also started a podcast last year called the Low Level Hell Podcast.

Can fly and even climb at around 30 mph. Could land and take off on a carrier, probably twice.

and we get to go thru his mail!!

This mission is one of my faves, lots of action, love the map, not THAT easy to get lost, not far to fly to get into the action, multiple target types, it has it all.

Was surprised to find out my engine was already running on spawn, just by rote m
