Hidden Locales of BoP

Thanks bro. I have been around some and seen a lot of good stuff, but new airfileds are top notch candy. And while the company gets the lines fixed...

Here are some better directions to the 3 "hidden" airfields on the Stalingrad map.

Western Airfield (Karpovka?):
Head to the western part of the map keeping to the west side of the Volga. At the left hand edged of the map you will see two small rivers jutting out from the edge of the map, not far from each other. The airfield is located between them, just at the tips of each river.

Northern Airfield (Stalingradskiy?):
The easiest way to find this one is to follow the railroad the runs in front of Stalingrad heading north. Its best to just use the map as the railroad sometimes disappears if you're trying to following it in flight. Just before Yerzovka (sp?) there is a bend in the track. The airfield is located on the right of the tracks, just southeast of the bend.

Abganerovo Airfield:
North of Stalingrad at Rynok, you will see two railroads that cross the Volga. They only appear on the map as they are absent in flight. Follow the track that continues east as the other splits off and goes north. Following this track, you will come to a light patch on the map that is just before a bend in the track. Right at the bend of the track, the airfield is sitting right there.

Also the airfields tend to be easier to spot on the winter map. Happy hunting!

Thanks again Ruff. I was out on a recon last night looking for the southern airfield there, but couldn't find it. Strange thing happend as it was like my engine (used a D5) strained from fatigue, and I wasn't able to climb after about 20 mins of flying. It just stalled and fell...
I'm gonna take a closer look

Etna Runway: Head South West until you see Gerbini across the river the small runway is located right beside Gerbini.

Etna Manor House: Head North East towards Tavola and Belvedere Piano. The Manor should be above Tavola, but north east of Tavola. The house sits on top of a hill and is very noticeable due to its hight over the other buildings. Also in the front it will have two Bright Blue windows side by side.

Anyway those are what I have found so far in Etna.

@ McQ59

We'll I've been calling it the southern airfield because initially I thought it was more to the south until last night, lol! It's more to the west than it is south, so I changed the references in my previous posts, lol! Did you find the other 2?

@Cryptic Phant0m
I'll have to do some recon in Etna the next time I'm on. Thanks!

[McQ59]

Nope Ruff, couldn't find the other two either. I was intercepted by the CL-match. A very sad story... (Except some Latinamerican magic realism a few sec. Messi...
Your additional headings will be followed 2night

The airfield at Gerbini is a small nice one. We used it in a historic mission a cpl of weeks ago. The Sicily map is quite cool as it's got a glitch too. I don't remeber the heading, but it is a small bay down there somewhere were you can fly "under" the shoreline and come up a bit inland. Not sure if it the glitch is like that in trainingmode as we did it online...

Got'em Ruff. The western between the two small rivers is a good field for bombers about He-111 size. What if the germans held the land west of Stalingrad and needed to knock out the T-34 production over at Red October, and a cpl of LA's was protecting from the northern... I think I got an idea
