Congratulations gents Despite strong air cover resulting in some loses we managed to destroy a key bridge and harass the axis tanks. Due to our sterling efforts the axis have lost all control of North Africa and have retreated to italy or surrendered. Our next mission is of vital importance to the war effort. The boffins have stated that if we can disrupt oil supplies to the axis forces this will cripple their war effort. Due to us controlling Libya we are able to launch an attack on oil fields in Romania, our target is Poliesti , a major oil refinery . Due to air cover we will attack on the deck with A 20s. escort will be P-51 b Operation Tidal Wave was an air attack by bombers of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) based in Libya on nine oil refineries around Ploiești, Romania, on 1 August 1943, during World War II. It was a strategic bombing mission and part of the "oil campaign" to deny petroleum-based fuel to the Axis powers. This operation was one of the costliest for the USAAF in the European Theater, with 53 aircraft and 500 aircrewmen lost. It was proportionally the most costly major Allied air raid of the war, and its date was later referred to as "Black Sunday". Five Medals of Honor and 56 Distinguished Service Crosses, along with numerous other awards, went to Operation Tidal Wave crew members. A 1999 research report prepared for the Air War College at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama concluded that the bombing campaign in Ploiești was "one of the bloodiest and most heroic missions of all time".[

The 352nd are proposing to start a continuous online campaign in the new year where every action will effect the front line, supplies etc, they are canvassing support from others but if we get enough numbers then they will consider running it on Sunday s at our regular time, so if anyone is interested in joining, either flying or tanking please let me know here and I will let deacon know

February 1943 Battle of Kasserine Pass Gentlemen The Allies have landed with no interference from the Italian Navy. Operation Torch is a success. We are closing in on two sides To prevent this enciclement Rommel has ordered the Afrika Korps Assault Group from Feriana to attack the Kasserine Pass. The upcoming battle will be the first major engagement between U.S. and Axis forces in Africa. To support our troops we must destroy a bridge to prevent the enemy from reinforcements and then destroy the armour columns in the area. The attack groups will fly P-38s and cover will be from spitfire Vs Plane limitations: P-38s on first spawn will only carry 2*500lb bombs on further spawns can take 6*500lb bombs no rockets

Gentlemen November 1942 Congratulations on successfully defending the convoy. Malta is saved and will go from strength to strength until the axis are kicked out of the Mediterranean. General Eisenhower is launching operation Torch, landing troops in North West Africa to assist us. However, the general staff are worried that Italian warships, holed up at Taranto after our successful swordfish attack, might break through and disrupt these landings Our task is to destroy the ships in and around Taranto. Leading the attack will be a squadron of A-20s which, due to predicted heavy AA, will conduct a low-level raid. These will be escorted by P-51b fighters which will have the range to cover the bombers there and back.

Operation Pedestal was a British operation to carry supplies to the island of Malta in August 1942 Gentlemen after successfully pushing back the Italians , the Germans have been forced to send troops , armour and aircraft to shore up their Allies. They are supplied by ship across the Mediterranean. These convoys are harassed by submarines and aircraft from Malta. We have been diverted to Malta to assist in the air cover for a vital supply convoy. If this convoy does not get through then the aircraft will not have fuel or ammunition and the islanders will starve. The island will be forced to surrender and we will lose a vital staging post for harassing Rommels shipping supply. In order for the map to work we will be flying from German airfields on the map. We will have hurricanes and P-40s. If you have the desert mod on and use the skins then although the enemy are flying from Russian airfields they will have the correct markings. The task is to fly to the south of the island and protect ships. A second wave of enemy bombers will be forming up to attack from the south. There may be other enemy aircraft active over the Island Plan is to run this on Sunday 3nd November.

When I couldn't get my canon to work in win11 l was going to get this one Brother DCP-J1050DW Wireless Colour Inkjet Printer | Fixed my issue so didn't buy but you can check it out and see if it would suit your needs

Jester handles radar, and sidewinders heatseakers are independent so a bit puzzled

I had a few issues last night with radar in phantom not detecting. I have no problem offline. And no issues on Syria map There were 4 migs I could see visually contrailing. I was slightly below , head on and got no warning from jester though I had long range air to air scan activated Also no tone warning on sidewinders. Then boom shot down After the first incident, I repeated the flight chasing 2 migs and checked all control and switches were ok but still nothing detected even when I was on their 6 Am I missing something obvious or is it an internet issue

Having successfully seen off the enemy air force out ground troops are ready to go on the offensive. Our task is to fly ahead of the troops to disrupt enemy reinforcement and act as observation for pockets of resistance. There are no ammo restrictions

Chaps We are tasked with defending Cairo ( Stalingrad on map) Take off and intercept italian bombers. There will be an escort. There will be further waves over basergino airfield. Due to game mechanics do not patrol west of Basergino airfiels 1123 on map Do not use airstart in 1123 , it was only to test game. Usual time tomorrow evening regards delta

I really don't have a strong opinion;and there is not an option for both. if discord works fine then I'd use it but id like to keep teamspeak option if reliable

Thanks Rog I'd like to keep ts option if possible and reliable

Does the Syria mission restart? I thought it was to be a persistent campaign with objectives to destroy and capture however when I was trying out F5 yesterday it seemed that all the air defence had reactivated at alleppo. Or is it still in trial mode?

Before jumping could we contact Rog over reason for this, why the server isnt able to cope with teamspeak? I only prefer ts due to familiarity

clearing out some old papers today and found this. This is the original spec of the pc I have just updated. Bought in 2007 🫢

November 1940 While the air battles over Britain have turned into night raids by enemy bombers, the situation in the middle east is perilous. Italy has entered the war and is seeking to expand across North Africa. We cannot afford a large reinforcement at this moment but 73 squadron will embark on HMAC Furious and, as it is too dangerous to use the Mediteranian, will sail south for Takoradi on the west coast of Africa. From there it will follow the old Imperial Airways staging posts across Africa until it arrives in Cairo Our initial task is to defend Cairo , a vital staging post for General Wavells planned offensive, We will have the use of our hurricanes and some P-40s from the Desert Air Force. You will require to download and use the desert war mod here the desertr war mod here https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/87488-desert-war-modpackv16/ It is a large mod so make sure that you give it time to load on the night.

Gentlemen We would like to congratulate you all on a heroic performance in stemming the bombers attacking our airfields. The enemy have resorted to targeting our civilian population, Last night bombs fell on London and the prime minister Mr Winston Churchill has ordered us to reply in kind. We will be attacking Dusseldorf , a vital communications hub. We will be flying through the night and arriving at dawn to give the bombers the best chance of hitting target and returning. There will be secondary targets at munchen gladbach. Lead squad will fly wellington( A20 s) and covered by hurricanes This is an airstart mission. I will be lead bomber so others just need to formate on myself and bomb if they wish. Pathfinders have lit up area with incenduaries so targets are easy to spot. The area is heavily defended and german radar will have alerted fighters so hurricanes are to escort the bombers Hurricanes to take 0.303s first mission then 2*20mm after that. If time permits there are barracks at Munchen GLadbach to destroy.

Dcs installed after massive download, now need to set up profiles etc

It's alive master,,, https://photos.app.goo.gl/NVJnCVxwwq1Wrz157

I prefer scenarios and planned missions, however I have a couple of suggestions that might make the syria work better. IF these have already been discussed then apologies, I havnt flown much DCS due to my computer. 1) Post up a mission brief before the night to give players specific objectives instead of letting people fly to multiple targets 2) encourage folk to work together so ask for CAP and wild weasel volunteers as well as ground pounders One issue I might share with others is that I am still having to put in time learning the planes so might not be as effective in some missions

We had issues last night dropped out then automatically reconnected 5 minutes later

The next mission will be a level bombing with escort so if you want ybomb I will master bomb or you can follow tutorial above
