WWCephas Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) This week we will hit the Northern Sector of the patrol area we barely scratched the bottom of last week. I have updated the map with the changes from our last mission and added factory targets as well as other targets of opportunity. The RRR base is operational from the start and for navigation assistance Diest airfield is now generating the smoke pillars. (Because we blew the crap out of it last week) EDIT: I think I will add Antwerp as a RRR base as well before Thursday.

WWCephas Posted December 24, 2021 Author Share Posted December 24, 2021 We had a good time in the air tonight. We originally headed North to Diest and were starting to pick off targets when The C.O got jumped by a bandit and had to RTB so we turned south to escort him home. When we landed we realized our Northern Re-arm base was not active so we re-routed East to finish off Maastricht. There was a lot of action on the ground between Tongeron and Maastricht and the Germans kept harassing us with mobile AAA while we tried to take out the industrial area in Maastricht. If we had had an A-20 along we could have made short work of it but with the limited fighter bomb loads it took all night to final neutralize that Industrial area. In between dropping bombs on factories we did a hell of a lot of damage to barges, trains and AAA and destroyed the nearby Asch airbase as well. Enemy CAP was light but it was very tricky, bouncing us quite often while we were unawares. I got killed going after a K4 that shot up Greywolfe?? I thought he was as single and he zoom climbed with me on his tail. I took a shot as my plane started to stall and just nicked him when all of a sudden my plane was hammered and I was insta dead. Ye old drag and bag perfectly executed by AI. I have been using a new AI CAP routine in how I link the planes together and I am REALLY happy with the results, it seems to be making them much more sneaky, you see one but you don't see his partners until it is too late often. (and no they are not spawning in they all start together way away and fly a CAP routine) Anyways it was a great evening with you guys... Oh yeah we had a successful test of the Air race scoring mechanism using Late war planes on the biplane circuit (to keep it quick). Looks like the Me262 is gonna need to be banned. She was doing 600 Kmh in the short 2 km straights and 500 through the corners. I thought for sure all the tight turns would bleed off all its E and leave it wallowing around about to stall. Merry XMAS all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWCephas Posted December 24, 2021 Author Share Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) This is an ongoing campaign by the way. It is being run as if these are daily patrols and the areas cleared the previous missions are destroyed on the following mission until the whole huge sector is neutralized. There were a couple Editor mistakes on the map too, unfortunately I was uber busy this week and did not have much time for testing. Still most things worked ok. I will try to do better next week.

WWSittingduck Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Yeah, I had a blast last nite. Thank god for the smoke at St. Trinden cause I'm in the same boat as Plague, and am constantly lost on this map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWPlague Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Well it was a unfamiliar map for me, trying to find you guys at some city called Minksandfoxesrinsky, looking at the map, leaving the map and checking 6, look at the map, check 6, ugh.

WWCephas Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 I thought I would start abusing Youtube servers and uploading 50gb HD mission recordings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
