Bombing Hawkinge Small Story (From Sunday's Mission, Cool Pics)

[JG52Krupi]

Just thought I would share one of the mission from yesterday, I seem to have forgot most of the details after I came under heavy AA fire .

AIRCRAFT: 3 x BF109E3/B

TARGET: Hawkinge

PILOTS: JG52Krupi, SYN_Biss, and Stealthy.

This occurred on one of the last missions of the night and things did not turn out so well... for me at least in the excitment I forgot what happened to my wingmen (whoops).

So here is the first pic just taken off from near Callis with all three 109s climbing.

From here we climbed to ~3000m and then made a beeline for Hawkinge. It was a rather uneventful journey and it wasn't soon before we were diving and release our bombs on the spits below us.

It was just after the dive bombing that I started to run into problems, having lost my lead (Bliss) and hearing that my wingman had to bail (Stealthy) I decided to find where the fight was to, I entered a starboard turn unfortunately this took me over the ships near folkstone BIG MISTAKE... I became the target of a silly amount of AA.

Sure enough the gunners had found there target and I lost my elevator straight away... unfortunately it was disabled during a climb and therefore was locked in the ascending position, I desperately clawed at the trim to get the aircraft back under control it was then that I saw the fire spreading across my right wing.

Still locked in a climb I started to panic, I needed to dive to get the fire out before it spread any further.

I resumed my desperate struggle with the stabilizer trim wheel until it would go no further... I was still locked in the damn climb!!!

Taking another glance out of the wing I could see that the fire was slowly inching its way forwards and across the wing

Well if I couldn't control my aircraft into a dive then I would have to find another way, I rolled on to my back and sure enough I started a uncontrolled plummet towards the ground. The flames started to die down and at last died out with the ground looming towards me I rolled back and once again the aircraft started to climb.

There was only one thing for it I would have to swung from left to right all the way back home it was the only way to keep a level flight. However fate had other plans... tracer fire started passing my canopy!

Sure enough with a glance back my eyes were greeted with belching black smoke pouring from my stricken aircraft and the sight of a spit sent shivers down my spine... There was nothing I could do but continue my tights swings, if I stopped I would pull up and probably stall right in his gunsight or take a dive into the waves.

Awesome stuff the last picture I believe shows me before a fist full of 303 hit my face OUCH. Love the spread of fire in this game.
