Well, since FiLTH went real quiet about his Bomber Wing, I am going to try this myself. For those of you who are interested in realistic tactics in the Main Arenas, this is for you. My plan is to, once a week, schedule a long-duration mission that is as realistic as possible. I intend to include bombers with escorts, and actual formation flying. There will be, at least once a week, a mission scheduled the previous week. Depending on the sucess of this first run, I will decide whether or not to create my own forums for this, or simply ask HTC if they would be so kind as to give me one for this. The missions will be primarily sundays and wedensdays, and full details, such as planes and objectives will be given. One of the major problems I found on that one Bomber Wing mission was massive lag on takeoff that even disconnected several people. To avoid this, AND add to the realism, we will launch from multiple fields. Both fighters and bomber pilots will be necessary and even ground vehicles for certain assaults. All missions, excluding GV runs, will contain planes from only ONE country. You will never see Bf-110s and N1Ks flying next to each other. For the first mission I want to start with a good-old-fashioned Stuka raid!!!
The first mission, Sunday 21 January, will consist of the following mission plan:
Ju-87 Stukas ordenance: 1x 1,000kg 2x 250kg (75%)
Bf-109s model to be decided (25%)
Stukas will take off from 2 seperate feilds, between 75 and 100 miles away from the target base. Bf-109s will take off from the front lines and meet up with the Stukas en-route. Stukas will climb to 15,000 feet and assume a 'vic' formation, Bf-109s will climb to 16,000 feet and assume a 'finger-four' formation. Upon rondevouz the Bf-109s will climb to 17,500 feet and watch the bombers on through to the target. Stukas will bomb in groups of three and return to base, alon with the Bf-109s.
