Tuesday 4-23 WWCOOP Mission #9 & #10

Recommended Posts

I think I was up for this Tuesday.  Doing some final clean up, but should be ready.....Gold Flight do any of you have the JU 52?.  If not may need some volunteers who do.  #9 is a transport and delivery of supplies mission.  Lets see what our count is, but likely could use a flight of Op For to even the sides.

S! Ju-52 pilot here.  Zeus loves the high rear gunner position and doggy treat holder on the sides. Warning to enemy pilots, the treat dispenser is automatic for each kill and he knows it!

I'll fly OpFor, and I'm not afraid of Zeus😜

Just received these order from German High Command....

" Things are dire at Krymskaya, without more supplies our forces will loose this battle to the Russian Tank divisions.  We need four flyers from Gold Flight to join up with the JU52 Supply group.  We know  your flight has a great reputation for destruction, but this mission is about following orders, making it to the airfield, landing safely and allowing cargo to be unloaded.   High Command has already assigned two seasoned cargo pilots into positions 1 and 2 ( AI) and the balance of Gold flight needs to fall in at 3 thru 6.  

The JU 52's will already be in the air at the start of the mission and will make a quick fly-by over Anapa.  Both Blue and Red fight need to immediately scramble and get in the air to provide escort.   Flight leads can develop their own strategy for how to provide coverage.... but have a plan, not the usual show boating.  The Russians will be doing everything they can to disrupt the delivery of Supplies.  We have to stay focused on getting the JU's to the airfield safely. 

Feel free to go hunting for enemy targets once this part of the mission has been accomplished.

Good luck to you all ( and don't screw up)"

Wow, the Commander is setting the bar pretty high for us.  Hope we can pull it off.

Couple questions.....Once you land do you need a key binding to unload cargo ?  I remember doing it in a coconut mission, but can't remember if it happend automatically or not.

Next question....what command do you give AI rear gunners ( for those who don't have Zeus) to kick butt?

I'd love to fly with y'all this Tuesday.  If you're full up, I do understand.  I'm willing to fly whatever for whoever.  If it is transport, please let me know so that I can 'bone up' on them and be able to fly for over 45 seconds without blowing up the engines.

Been trying to practice on the JU52 and am struggling on getting the flaps to work.

 

The flaps require a two step process, my normal key binding can release the flaps, but instructions say to use pitch trim to than adjust the flaps.  I have tried multiple set ups but can't seem to get the pitch trim to do anything.  I get messages while I am flying to retract the flaps, but all I can do is enable or disable.

Anyone have this figured out better than me?  

PS this is one of the planes with coweling vents.  You can see them open and close on the face of the engine.  It also has a parking break.

Flaps on the 52 are slats and just about useless.  Don’t bother rekeying them.  Your cowl vents are the six faucet looking controls in front of copilot. You will see them spin when you get the right control. The right set is cowl vent, the inboard set is oil rads.  And correction the proper key for your doors to unload is your canopy button..

I agree with Icy..  Super slow landing speed, I didn't use them and it was butter landings.   But anyways, see 1:06 in the video for your answer:

Sorry I missed again. Wound up having to schlep the candidate to the airport. 

Seems like there were enough Junkers pilots though.

And at least we’re through with the interviews now. Hopefully one of them will take the job. Only a week to go before summer break!
