Battle of Stalingrad

Battle of Stalingrad
Its winter 1942/43 and Nazi Germany are at the height of their power. Already controlling most of Europe Hitler turns his eyes on the Soviet Union. After operation Barbarossa it looks like nothing can stop his Third Reich as they push their way into the heart of Soviet territory. In the south a city on the Volga stands between them and the oil fields of the Caucasus. Because the city bears the name of the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin it becomes an important propaganda war, and one of the biggest and bloodest battles in modern history.
Will Hitlers third Reich defeat Stalin's Red Army or will they will the Soviet troops push the fascist invaders out of their motherland? Only time will tell.

There were no B25s, P400s, Spits, yakTs, or P40Bs in during the battle AFAIK.
-
Second the P-40E instead of the B. Did the Hurri IIB see combat during the battle or just the C model?
-
not a problem, we can change it. i put all the stuff at all the bases and put the bomber at air bases only.
define limited for me? certain bases only?
-
ok boys and girls, larry's planeset is the correct one at this time!
-
larry theres a problem with the terrain, me and 715B found it the other night. if you look around when youre in the tank town. the buildings become invisible. its the weirdest thing. i have film if you need it
-
Where is your graphics detail slider at? I noticed it the other day when I was driving around.
-
low, probably a mile
-
They we're disappearing for me when I turned it down as well. I'll take a look at it when I get home.
-
are there too many buildings? or too close together?
-
I think it's because when you turn down the graphic or object detail the buildings only render when you get close to them. Is that what was happening? Could you see other tanks when they disappeared?
-
yeah we could see each other when they disappeared, i filmed it. i just have to figure out how to get you the film

TrueKill is back flying? :huh

I missed shooting at all of you. :D

Larry: buildings right next to me would disappear depending on what angle I looked at them and I had render distance and complexity to maximum (as I always do). You could see tanks beyond the invisible buildings but you couldn't hit them- the invisible building would stop the round.
-
Alright I'll look into it asap. I might have to end up making some custom building tiles to stop this.
-
I might make it tonite. There's a winter Friedrich with my name on it.
-
good cause 715 has been beating my butt all week!!
-
I get it. You just want to use me as bait. :devil
Probably wont be in arena until 10 though, maybe later if the Bruins play overtime again.
:cheers:

I've read that post. The only problem is I can not find anything on what squadron flew the P-39. I know they were being used by the Soviets around that time but there's no real proof they were in Stalingrad.

Southern Fronts
The majority of American Airacobras reached the Soviet Union from the south, via Teheran. In November 1942 the 25th ZAP was set up at Aji-Kabul in Azerbaijan. Aircraft were assembled at Abadan, before being ferried to Aji-Kabul where they were given to their eventual end users. The P-39 would be at its most effective on the southern fronts, where it would be used by Grigori Rechkalov and Aleksandr Poykryshikin, the 2nd and 3rd ranked Soviet Aces. A limited number of aircraft probably fought at Stalingrad, but they rose to real prominence in the post-Stalingrad battle of the Kuban River.

This terrain is heavy of Puffy ack... it is possible to reduce it - you almost always get it where ever you are flying

If it's typical AvA settings, you see the ack but it has virtually no effect on you. Noisy but harmless.

Roger missed that

Many of the top Soviet aces flew the "Kobruschka (Sweet Little Cobra)", including Grigory Rechkalov, who scored 57 victories, most of them inflicted by the P-39, and the well-known Aleksandr Pokryshin, with 53 victories, again most obtained with the P-39. One Red Air Force pilot, Mikhail Baronov, scored one of his 28 total "kills" by chopping off the tail of a Bf-109 over Stalingrad with the prop of his P-39. Some claim the P-39 was the best-liked of all Western aircraft obtained by the Red Air Force.
Edit: seems Baronov only flew Yaks
