1st mission:
Protect Dowly in his StuG.

Squadron was dispersed on take-off after a Russian fighter did an aerobatic display over the runway and then disappeared somewhere. Raptor and Task Force had...something happen, which resulted in an explosion, as usual.
I found an I-16 chasing a 109, and (much to my surprise) managed to shoot it down, then I found the IL-2s attacking the StuGs and managed to shoot down one and severely damage the other, landed off the runway as a bloody AI stole my landing slot, and Lolwaffled onto my nose.


The I-16 goes for a drink, no chute spotted.



The first IL-2 hits the deck, two chutes spotted.


The second IL-2, I ran out of ammo trying to dent the thing, so broke away and wished him luck. I was creditted with the kill so he must have crashed shortly afterwards.


Hunter in his Austrian wunderwaffe, and my Lolwaffle landing in the background...stoopid AI...



Myself and Arclight get an Iron Cross Second Class, Raptor gets shot.


Second Mission:
Protect Hitlers BMW

Took off in a bit more organised fashion this time. Followed Hunter to the Russian frontlines and then met a wall of MiGs and I-16s coming the other way. Got two on my six and was able to finally lose them by diving, building up speed and then using the 109s superior climb rate to get to safety. Spotted Raptor chasing one and then one jumped on his six, I curved in behind it and one curved in behind me, splat, oil everywhere. I broke off and ran for base followed by two or three persistant MiGs. Make it back to base with two MiGs still following, one breaks off and the other smashes into the ground as I try to land, I'm going far too fast to land properly so I pull up to go around, and then my engine catches fire...I pull up to gain altitude before jumping when....BOOM! Thank you Daimler-Benz...
Arclight chases an I-16 and gets his entire squadron on his tail for his pains, receives a nice hole in his wing and a shredded elevator so legs it back to base, discovers that he has no control over his throttle, so turns off the engine to land...and then glides into the ground just short of the runway.


Task Force, I think, as we head towards our patrol area.


Leaking oil does not improve forward visibility...


Raptor tangles with some Russkies as Task Force tangles with his joystick, and then the ground.


Hitlers BMW motorcade does its best to dissuade the MiGs on my six.

Meanwhile Task Force has redecorated his aircraft, painting the inside of the cockpit a nice red colour



Arclight goes for the same look but doesn't have any red paint
