As for the memory of the BoB's 70th anniversary, I created a mission for some RAF fighters, based at Hawkinge.
It's a MDS mission, thus it allows re-entry and the choice of different A/C's like SpitMk.I & II, Hurricane IIA & IIb, Beaufighter Mk.I.
The attackers comprise of the following: all enemy planes spawn the same time from different French aerodromes , Bf-110's lead the
charge with direct JaBo attacks on the base, followed by Stukas w/escort, attacking Chain Home Installations nearby.
The Stukas' 109 escort comprised of 8 fighters, which were to be divided into two groups of four, one group sticking with the Stukas,
the other flying to Hawkinge, to keep us busy.
No problem so far - a bit hectic, but hey!
:wink:
As for the heavies, I had two flights of He-111's scheduled for London, escorted by two flights of Emils, all of them at Halle 40 (4000m).
How could I have known, the 8 bombers would cross overhead, unobstructed, while we were busy fighting off the 110's and 109's with two
Hurris and a Spit, when all of a sudden the 111's escorts would dive down own us from 4.000 meters! Eight Me-109E's diving down at you
from up there! They ate us alive...and forget about respawning...that was an experience of total enemy local air-superiority!
One of our relentless chaps tried to get off base again and again, only to be shot down over and over and me and my bad mouth kept on laughing... :oops:
But fun nevertheless! :mrgreen:
As for a solution I added two flights of AI to aid us humans. The mission is still hard, but now you're a sitting duck with a chance! :wink:
