Winter Breakout contains two missions:
Red Storm-Allies
Fire, Ice and the Iron Cross-Axis

List of Allied Aircraft:             List of Axis Aircraft:                 
40 IL-2s                                       16 190A-8s   
24 LA-5s                                      16 110G-2s

                                                  24 109G-14s

164 aircraft in total

I spent over a month on this one, making sure the fight was equal(the player's actions will determine the victor) and to make sure the battle "flows" instead of just one big furball.  I'm very proud of this one and hope y'all enjoy it.  It's a toughy.  You better be on your toes and watching your back or death will come a'knockin'.

Recommended Settings:
x3 ammo count (you will need it)
F3 (outside)view enabled

Tips:
On runway, hit F3, then F8, then tap 8 on the num pad a few times to give you a nice high 6'oclock view of your plane.  The runway is crowded at first, so it helps to see where you are going.

Hit Alt-I once.  This will switch the icons from names(AI****) to plane types.  This helps you to stay with your flight and know what you are fighting.

Installation instructions are included in the mission .zip folder, but if you've downloaded my Raiders mission, it is the same.

Salute and Check 6

Downloading it now.

Set it up. Will try in morning.

"opens mouth...no sound comes out....closes mouth"




That was the best mission I have ever played. I collided with an Il2, but will try it again in the morning. It was awesome, I was looking at the formation of 109s and then looked forward and there is just this giant formation of Russions. The radar factory is toast though. Thanks again Ranger, I don't know what the AH community would do with out you.

Thank you bob.  I really appreciate that.

Great stuff, USRanger!

I've added that to the list of offline missions on the wiki and created a Winter Breakout (Offline Mission) page.

I'd like to say something as/more complimentary than what bobtom said, but really, I can't.  What I can say, however, is that YOU ROCK!!!!

Cant wait to try it, hopefully i can get it to work. 

 

[Redlegs]

Awesome mission! 

I did get rammed by a La. But, I guess that's part of the realism. 

[RMrider]

WTFG RANGER!!!

That was absolutely amazing. I played first as teh Germans, good time, those LA 5s were tough.

I then switched over to the Russians to fly an LA and almost pssd myself when i heard three days grace come on. WTG!!!     

Leave it to you Ranger to make something absolutely extraordinary. 

 

[Gaidin]

Getting this one when I get home.  Looking forward to it!!!

Raiders was a great mission !!!!!!

[lagger86]

That was a fun one! Nice work    Now if I could just resist shooting down my own planes on the way there....nah that's part of the fun.

Thanks Ranger

[RMrider]

Now if I could just resist shooting down my own planes on the way there

  have same problem but thats when im RTB. I like having as many planes as possible in the fight but on the way home i get bored and see if i have enough ammo to kill all of my guys.               

 

[USRanger]
