Made two sorties yesterday night (CET) and really enjoyed. Had one launcher crash but we knew that.
On the first sortie I joined with two other 110, one of them soon lost formation. Reduced to two we managed to get to the english shores, despite intense dogfights over the channel, we crossed undisturbed. Over england two fighters engaged us and I had the launcher crahs before I could have any action.
On the second sortie, after a few minutes waiting I took off alone on my 110. In the map, using the tools, set the waypoints for a sneaky approach to Red Hill airbase, and the headings. Crossed the channel at 5 km alt unnoticed. I reached the target before I expected, surely bad calculations on my side, (I expected 5 minutes more of flying till I could see Red Hill, but there was no doubt, as I could see clearly the two rows of unprotected bombers in the field...) Made one bombing run and took two or three of them smoking.
I knew that the wise thing to do now was coming back home, but after so much time travelling, I decided to do the unwise and made a strafing pass again on the bombers. Falk took out the entire hood of the left engine, and plane started shaking. Stayed low running for home, but before I could reach the shore again, I had to crash her.
Lot of fun, thank you very much to ATAG for this.
