I know the second shift had some issues, but I have to say 27 IAP gives this mission two thumbs up. Even though as a squadron we got mauled, in the debrief afterwards we all agreed is was a great mission and we had a lot of fun.
Starting off by having 110s bombing the airfield in the pre-dawn twilight as we manned our aircraft certainly set the tone.
Thank you mission builders!

Re: Great Mission!
I agree! It was a wonderful mission with the 52s and the VVS boys arriving in seamless sync.
Re: Great Mission!
Thanks for dropping by! It was a good fight with the beautiful dawn light in the backround!

Re: Great Mission!
You guys did the dropping! We never saw the high cover schwarm until you were on top of us. Well done! And it was a fun fight!
We did manage to chew up the 52s a bit, though. One of them appeared to crash right into a bunch of equipment on Pitomnik airfield

Re: Great Mission!
We were wondering how many you managed to shoot down since the ones that land, despawn almost immediatly so we couldn't count them! Looking at your AAR I think I shot at you if it was you tumbling down in a spin before bailing out, we thought you might have recovered until we saw the chute.

Re: Great Mission!
That was me, well done! I thought maybe you had shot off my tail but when I bailed everything looked intact and the rudder was in the correct recovery position. I tried for as long as I could to recover, but he (since good Soviets always consider their machines masculine) just wouldn't come out of the spin.Steel wrote: ↑Mon Jun 29, 2020 9:11 amWe were wondering how many you managed to shoot down since the ones that land, despawn almost immediatly so we couldn't count them!

I did manage to sneak through the lines and avoid capture in the dim twilight, though.
