Hello Luthier!
Like I said earlier the changing weather is an inexhaustible source of aggravating events during missions. It may be interesting to combine this with some instrument failures especially altimeter and compass...A great many A/C of all nationalities met their fate because they did not know where they were, or how high they were, because of failure or heavy icing and they finished their careers on high ground or power cables (think Helmut Lent, Werner Mölders and so many others...). It did not really matter if they were rookies or aces...
About interesting events:
- during a patrol set an unsuspecting trainer coming out of nowhere in the middle of the flight at same altitude (works well with an unsuspecting enemy A/C)
- bad weather attack (again) meet barrage balloons...Remember the Ju 88 who pancaked on a balloon...and made it to base (its pilot would become one of the bomber aces)
- attack on heavy railway gun tracks in the Pas de Calais area (was happening during all BoB length, usually using Bleinheims)
- recce flight on obscure forward airfield being setup somewhere in North of France (where is the damn field? lot of examples)
- help Bleinheims dealing with the field you discovered the day before
- If DYNAMO operation at Dunkerque is allowed time-wise, protecting the ground troops during evacuation
- Game in Game: in charge of testing an A/C with a certain problem: identify properly the problem, bring back the A/C without crashing...
- other game: forcing a Bf 109 to land/go to sea without firing one shot
- one day the bad weather during the night has reduced your potential take-off run to 300 yards and the enemy is coming at you...meet him and come back on the same 300 yards.
- these damn He-115 are minelaying again: find them and deal with them (at night, obviously)
- Resistance informs us that one high ranking officer of the Luftwaffe is intending to visit coastal airfields with its personal Bf 108 unescorted at a certain hour near a certain place: try to find him before his subordinates find you with their Bf 109...
This what comes to my mind for now...
