HE has to park up while the German paras get to the field. Spits get the alert at Hawkinge and have to destroy the HE before Churchill is loaded. Some kind of time limit for the HE on the deck.

Any other ideas?

Cool idea!

I have one too, not exactly out of a film, but might as well be!

'Operation Südsee'

In the last days of the Third Reich, Hitler is bunkered in his his 'Führerbunker' in Berlin, while the whole city is surrounded. His only chance of escape is to hop on a Fieseler Storch as a passenger and somehow make it out of the city and to an U-Boot awaiting him to take him to an island in the South Pacific. Since the Luftwaffe is much too weak to guarantee his safety during the aerial escape, all they can do is divert attention away from the little plane that comes in to land on a Berlin street to take on its notorious passenger and take off again.

Before the operation can take place, NKVD (predecessor to the KGB) however intercepts a radio transmission and puts VVS on high alert. Can the VVS prevent Hitler's escape?

For this mission, I suggest to replace the Fieseler Storch with an I-153. The German side should find a location in the city where the Storch can land, ideally close to the historical location (this should previously be trained). The precise location has to remain secret for the VVS.

The VVS should already be airborne over the city. The Germans position their forces on the edges of the map at a location of their choice. They will notify via text chat when the Fieseler Storch is setting itself in motion toward the city (again this would be an intercepted radio call). The VVS doesn't know exactly when or where the Storch is trying to sneak in, they only know the objective. Stalin has made it clear that the pilots who would let Hitler slip from his grip would be sent on prolonged leave to Siberia.

Time of day and weather should be challenging. VVS should have the dominance in the air. No map, no HUD, no time limit should make this a really interesting mission.

The Germans succeed if the Storch can land undetected, pick up Hitler and sneak out of the city to reach the end of the map. VVS wins if they shoot down the Storch at any time before that.

Sorry this got long, got carried away.
