Hornets Nest Help

Yeah, no need to apologize!

The reason I asked was that I have beat that mission and I am also playing at arcade level.

I had no problem beating this level. I never gave any commands and just shot down as many as I could and my men got the rest.

You have to concentrate your attacks, on the ones that are closest to the target area. I made that mistake the first time, but then I quickly realized what happened. So don't go for the one's that are far from their target, wait for them to get closer, and while you wait. Blast them with everything you've got.

I was having a rough time with this one.

as soviet ace said, always WEP to your closest transport formation (check on map), u can usually nail one as your fly towards it, then swing round behind the plane at the rear of the formation.
match their speed and use the rudder to spray them left to right. moving to the front as your destroy each one. this way you're not constantly turning the big slow IL2 to get planes that are just behind you.

Thanks for all your help Fella's, done it , the key is to do it quickly as you dont get much time before they reach the airstrip.

Thanks again

You don't need to shoot the fighters down. Tell your wingmen to protect you and then fly to the airfield and drop some bombs.

Where is the target area on the map? I must be blind as well as stupid as I cannot see it for the want of looking

As another poster put it I had 28 shot down and was told "mission failed...." This has to be the most frustrating mission yet, the inteligence for this mission is not up to the same as previous missions.

Since when has JU52's had rearward firing machine guns?
