"Operation Husky"

[McQ59]

Mode: Simulator

Time: 26'th of February 2011 at 10:00 pm. GMT

Mission: Strike

Year: 1943

Ammo: Limited

Fuel: Unlimited (Beware of overheating engine on WEP).

Map: No map to be used, except for forming up and scrambling in the start of the mission.

Hud: Disabled.

If axis planes had cockpits, I would have gone for “Cockpit-view only”, but let’s say it’s up to each pilot what view to choose.

Each pilot has one life only. (Embrace it!)
If shot down or crashed, go to the airfield near the coast of Catania after re-spawning.

Number of pilots: 14-16.


Task German/Italian airforce: Bomb naval targets at the coast of Sicily.
Bombers: He-111's and Ju.87's.
Fightercover: Bf. 109 G2, Bf. 109 F-4 and Mc. 202's
Scramble: Yes, all bombers and fighters will take off from the same airfield. But no force with a CO in his right mind ever told in public where he scrambled his forces, did he?


Task allied forces: Defend the vessel.
Fighters: P51B, P51D-5 and Spit Mk.IV's.
Form up formation east on the coast of Sicily and patrol the coast.

All pilots have to enlist up front and will be called for duty by an invite to text-chat before the mission is launched.

All pilots to make it back to the airfield at Catania alive is a winner.

Aprox time for mission: 45. min.

Hi McQ,

I'm in and I have read and understood the mission.

I prefer to be in a P-51B Mustang.

Just one question: why the unlimited fuel? I've actually never managed to run out, only when I had battle damage with punctured tanks, which would be realistic.

I'm in mate.
Fly anything if required to balance

Edit: having seen the fighter force put me down for a bomber!

In WEP you got ten minutes before you run out of fuel, and about 15. min before your engine overheat. I think it would be devostating for moral if the pilots ran out of fuel before they reached theire target. Even on eco-mode I think it is impossible to have the slightest chance to get back to base. That would be even more devostating to the moral.

I see. I'm not using WEP that much, only when I feel I need it. Perhaps that's why fuel never seems to be an issue (or I'm never long enough alive to run out of it, lol).

Anyway fine by me.

helloo guys again ,

i have an idea for a new missions,tell me what do u think:

maybe u know the story of the russian light night bomber,po2,who harass the german troop,during ww2,why not for example use the map stalingrad,time night,weather (maybe) clear the po2s must patrol in a area of the map and the germans fighters (bf109f,g and fw190a and f,bf110 c)must destroy them before the end of the game(45 mins or other)
if a po2 are sill alive at the end they win ,if they are all destroyed they loose.what do u think ?

maybe it can call " the night sorcerers "(like the nickname of the ww2 russian women night squadron on po2 " the night sorceresses " 588th night bomb regiment)
