delta7 Posted June 19 Author Report Share Posted June 19 2nd June 1940 Gentlemen Despite our gallant efforts, including making the enemy air force scared to tackle us, the enemy ground troops have broken through on all fronts, France and Belgium have fallen. Our troops have set up a rear-guard at Dunkirk. There is a massive evacuation operation underway, to get as many of our chaps home as is possible. A flotilla of small boats escorted by the Royal Navy are heading across the channel as we speak. The enemy having paused are now moving artillery and transports forward to try to catch us on the beaches. Our tasks are twofold. First the hurricanes must stop the enemy dive-bombers from harassing the shipping used for the evacuation Secondly the battles will try to take out the enemy guns (kp 0521) and transports (KP 0630 and 0631) We have also abandoned a lot of equipment at the port in KP 0529 and don’t want this to fall into enemy hands. Other targets on the map are secondary. Good Luck The next mission is planned for 21:00 hrs on Sunday the 23rd Hurricanes Air start in 0228 Land in England or neutral airfield at Dunkirk First flight 0.303 only Next flights 2* 20mm ShVAK (option 18) is permitted Enemy planes are at 7000ft attacking shipping mid channel. Patrol Sector A Do not attack from the rear as they have heavy defence and escort Battles (il2) Air start 0229 Land in England or neutral airfield at Dunkirk Bombs and cannon only no rockets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delta7 Posted July 16 Author Report Share Posted July 16 For the next mission we will have option of altitude bombing in A 20 If you have not done this then here are some tips Hardest part is inputting the wind angle so see here Wind Angle Calculations The calculation for setting the instrument is this: (WIND DIRECTION) minus (PLANE COURSE) A. For results from 0 to 180 we set the number as is to the right side of instrument. B. For results from 0 to -180 we set the number as is to the left side of instrument. (RIGHT SIDE: from 0 to 180 clockwise // LEFT SIDE: from 0 to 180 anti-clockwise) 1.For results greater than 180 we DEDUCT from the result 360 and set according to A or B. 2.For results greater than -180 we ADD to the result 360 and set according to A or B. Examples: Wind course 130, Plane course 80: 130-80=50 , Set 50 deg on right side. Wind course 60, Plane course 130: 60-130= -70 , Set 70 deg on left side. Wind course 290, Plane course 40: 290-40=250 // 250-360= -110, Set 110 deg on left side. Wind course 20, Plane course 260: 20-260= -240 // -240+360=120, Set 120 deg on right side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta7 Posted July 23 Author Report Share Posted July 23 Gentlemen The battle of France is over and the battle of Britain is about to commence. The enemy are preparing an invasion fleet to cross the channel. The RAF is targeted to destroy the ports, train depots and invasion craft. Primary target is the train depot at Cherbourg shown on map below We will altitude bomb at 3000m. We will be flying the A20 as substitute for Wellington. I can be master bomber so other bombers just have to formate on myself and drop on my command. If you wish to use bombsight then the following parameters apply Height 3000m Speed 350-400kmph Heading 225 Wind 4ms at 272 Wind correction 48 right. We will have an escort of hurricanes. The secondary targets are the boats and train station at Le Havre shown below This will be a low level run along the line of the barges We will start in the air at correct heading for primary target There are no close airfields so option is to return to England or ditch once over the lines A20 will take 16 100lb bombs full fuel Hurricanes 0.303 only for first flight then 2 20mm shvak if you wish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta7 Posted July 23 Author Report Share Posted July 23 If you wish to join me altitude bombing then please have keys bound for bombing the minimum you will need is Level flight bomb bay doors open drop bombs you may also wish to set bomb fuse and set number of bombs dropped at a time regards delta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta7 Posted August 9 Author Report Share Posted August 9 Gentlemen We have successfully disrupted the enemy's invasion plans, however he is building an air fleet to target our Island. Early indications are that his primary targets are airfields near the south coast. You have been scrambled to intercept one such raid, planes will show up on radar. The observation corp have seen other planes forming up across the channel in grid 1220. Once the initial raid is destroyed we will target this group If we have the resources then intel has spotted barges in Dieppe and Calaise , we will arm your fighters with bombs to see what we can destroy here. We will be flying hurricanes. There are airstart available. First flight 0.303 ammo , thereafter free to take 2*20mm 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta7 Posted August 13 Author Report Share Posted August 13 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta7 Posted August 24 Author Report Share Posted August 24 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delta7 Posted September 1 Author Report Share Posted September 1 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta7 Posted 5 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 5 hours ago 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
