June FSO Mannerheim Cross Axis Frame 1 AAR Part 1

Purple Force lifted off from A82 comprised of three squads with the target of the Town at A25.  The 132 DW Bomber Group lifted off with 5 formations of Ju-88's as Strike Commander.  Flying escort was the 325th Checkertails in 5 FW-190A-5's and 5 Bf-109G-2's plus the Gunfighters in 4 190's and 5 109's.

The escort fighters took a high perch above the climbing bombers.  Once the bombers leveled out at 20,000 ft, the strike force began to make good time to target making small course corrections.  At T+50, the escort fighters merged with the defending enemy fighters.  This allowed the bomber force to make the initial drop on the Town with 500kb bombs.  The bomber force egressed south and then southeastenly while dropping in altitude making a slow left hand turn.  The bomber force leveled out at 10,000 ft. and lined up for a second pass with 20 50kg bombs.

June FSO 2011 Mannerheim Cross Axis Frame 2 AAR Part 1

The squad lifted off from A40 with 5 sets of Ju-88's and one single Ju-88.  Flying escort was the 325th Checkertails in 10 FW-190A-4's and the JG77 in 2 Bf109G-2's.
 
Bern1    22:27:12 Departed from Field #40 in a Ju 88A-4
DWDing   22:27:13 Departed from Field #40 in a Ju 88A-4

The bombers took a NOE route due south while the fighters flew direct to the target at high altitude.  Once the bombers were south of the targets latitude line, the Ju-88's turned due east avoiding any enemy radar rings.  The fighters merged with the defending enemy fighters when the bombers made the final turn towards A6 Town.  Just before the Town, the bombers popped up and began dropping bombs.

During this time, the enemy fighters who had just finished refueling operations spotted the incoming bombers and alerted the higher defenders.  This resulted in the whole bomber force being wiped out.

[gyrene81]

does this mean you don't want to fly bombers in the fso anymore? 

[Dantoo]

I think he's saying that a lot of la-5s landed safely (towered) in the last frame - just before the second strike hit? 

[AKKuya]

does this mean you don't want to fly bombers in the fso anymore? 

No, this is why we fly bombers in FSO.  The Fluidity of War can derail best laid plans due to the decisions of the enemy.  The X Factor is what makes FSO fun.

It was a timing issue.  If we arrived 5 minutes earlier, we would've caught them on the ground forcing them to tower out in safety.  If we arrived 5 minutes later, they might've been out of position for a rapid response.

[Dantoo]

Ah!  Well put Kuya!  Interestingly, ROC made this same observation recently in another forum in respect of another event.  It's logical, but only stats demonstrate the immensity of the twin impacts of timing and chance.  One of them you have some small measure of control over.

Since I don't have access to the other side's Frame orders, I have to draw a conclusion from the stats. 

[slayem]

 Your attack force had a better impact than you may believe Kuya. Though the Swampdragons managed to maintain unit cohesion and position to strike your bomber force and escorts and mostly survive, we paid the price in doing so. Regrouping and refueling, more than half our force had to end sortie for battle damage, wounds, or
just plain pranging their aircraft trying to refuel. The rest of us ,some like me damaged but still
reasonably airworthy, were left with only bad choices from then on. Attrition is a cold fate. The second strike did to us what we did to you. Such is war.

Mannerheim Cross Frame 3 AAR

Blue Strike Group lifted off from A43 with orders to destroy a Vehicle base.  16 formations of Ju-88's comprised of 8 pilots from the 132 DW Bomber Group and 8 pilots from the 364th C-hawks were escorted by 16 Me-109's comprised of 9 pilots from the 325th Checkertails and 7 pilots from the 367th Dynamite Gang.

The bombers climbed to 18,000 feet while the escorts kept a close watch above and forward.  The strike group met no resistance until minutess before arrival over target.

A combined force of 15 LA's and 8 P-39's attacked the strike force admidst the releasing of bombs over target.  One bomber formation was struck by friendly bombs overhead and many other bombers were shot down or heavily damaged from enemy action during egress.  The escort fighters valiantly engaged the enemy fighters and covered the withdrawal of the surviving bombers.

16 objects were destroyed including 3 vehicle hangars plus 14 enemy fighters shot down at a loss of 13 Ju-88's and 3 109's.  The majority of returning bombers were heavily damaged and ended operations.  Those that could still fight took to the air and struck field #17.
