Title: Will you fly an Il-2 with me if . . .
Post by: Brooke on April 10, 2016, 10:46:22 PM
In the next Scenario, Il-2's will play a major role.

I'm leading the Il-2's, and we need a few more brave pilots.

I give it very high odds that it will be action-packed and fun.

Will you fly an Il-2 with me if . . . we achieve FAME AND GLORY?  Then step forward, for fame and glory awaits us!  :aok

If you can fly on Saturdays in June at 3 pm Eastern, please post here or let me know in a PM, and I will get in touch with you.

You don't have to be an expert in Aces High or in the Il-2.  If you want, you can participate in a couple of practice sessions with the rest of us Il-2 pilots prior to June.

In the scenario, we are 7 GShAP.

Here is historical footage of the Il-2's of 7 GShAP in action:

That's after I get 1000 victory points by ravaging your fields, towns, and cities, fight off three squadrons of fighters on my way home, and skid my used-up but victorious crate to a halt at the edge of home base.  :D

I'm reading a book by Il-2 pilot Anna Timofeeva-Egorova:  "Over Fields of Fire:  Flying the Sturmovik in Action on the Eastern Front 1942-1945".

41 combat missions in the Il-2.

(http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-53-0-01894300-1380794360.jpg)

I'm not done with the book yet.  So far, it is quite good.

I need one more pilot to join us in Il-2's on Saturdays in June.

Is there one more person out there who will join me?

For the glory?

For the action?

For the motherland?

We will play a vital part in this scenario.  I really, really, really (really) would like to have full group every mission.

What do you say?

Beginner or expert or anything in between, you are welcome to fly with us.

Yes!

1ijac is in!

The Il-2's are now full of Heroes of the Motherland!  :aok

There are still plenty of other aircraft available for The Battle of the Dnieper, however.

Please -- give a scenario a try.  Once you try scenario you never go back.  :aok
