USSR Campaign Idea's&suggestions
 

Like mentioned in the Training school thread
post here your suggestions and Idea's.

I will try to make a template and from that I base Co-Op missions on
using mainly the late war USSR aircraft.

Basic suggestions -

Campaign Title: People's party : Assault on Memel

our Squadron title: Gulagwaffles

Campaign map:

Any USSR aircraft in particular you would like to fly:

Any kind of Mission you would like to play, Yes? then I need to know the following:

-Objective (Interception, bombing, Escort, ground attack, fighter sweep, anti shipping etc etc)
-A little story along the lines of the objective to have a bit of a briefing.
-Enemy activity : Suprise me or name what you would like to destroy/intercept/bomb/sink

Me thinks this battle would be nice to fly:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Memel

You'd have ships leaving and coming, the town and any forward defense position the german might have to bomb while the fighters would fight back the desperate Luftwaffe efforts to cover the evacuation of Wehrmacht from Memel.

Cant remember which map it is, but Memel is in IL2, just cant remember how big the city is.

Cant really give any input for this,as USSR. aircraft has no interest for me. So whatever the majority goes for, i'll try and show a bit enthusiasm, cant promise much though:hmmm:

Hmmm, I don't know much about the Soviet Air Force, so I'd have to pick the Hurricane. Regarding missions and that, again, not very clued up so no real idea. Kuban might be an idea, but that's about it. :hmmm:

I think I'll go sit with Kratos.

According to Wikipedia the soviet union had some Spitfires&Hurricanes
like said I don't really mind putting them in the selection of aircraft.
I try to mix the aircraft selection too between the sorties so we fly a bit off all.

I see if I can patch up a introduction mission for this evening.

As long as you don't make me fly Yaks and MiGs.:salute:

*writes down*

a LaGG for Schroeder :O:

the campaign template so far (done this in my afternoon break from work):

We'd obviously need Pe-8 flattening raids against Memel itself, alongside the usual Peshka and Sturmovik ground-attack and convoy raid missions

The Axis would have to have Ju 52s trying to resupply the besieged city and being good targets for interception (Aside from the necessary convoys coming in and out to evacuate the civilians)

How about some Soviet paratrooper attacks with flyable Li-2s?

Oh, and as the representative of the People's Party, I expect that this campaign will be good...Da, Comrade?

Looking good :salute:

I just realised another Russkie plane I quite like to fly.

Peshka Pe-8! :yeah:

Oh, and Hunter, want to be my tail gunner again? :shucks::haha:

Oberon, it's Petlyakov Pe-8, Peshka was the nickname for the Pe-2

For the Pe-8s, put them in seperate 1-plane flights, so the AI could bomb even when we fly them

For the plot, we could have it set after the Lolwaffle's disastrous last sortie in the Battle of Stalingrad, with the Lolwaffles ending up being captured by the Soviets and used for brainwashing experiments before being drafted into the VVS

"Grarrr! Must...crush...capitalism...grrr...garrr!"

how can it go wrong when we have this people's party aircraft at our disposal

Wait...are those fascists touching our pride!:stare:

@Oberon: :haha:

@Raptor1: in that case ''GULAGWAFFLES!''

HunterICX

Oh, right, you better have some of those too, doing the usual recon and tactical bombing

Just don't let the fascists near them, so they can't learn our secret technology

EDIT: ROFL, Gulagwaffles would suit us very much

Definately Gulagwaffles! :yeah:

I'll fly any plane that is avalible. One plane that we have to have is the Polikarpov I-16. The Russians used them on all fronts and they are tough. As for the name change I approve!!:salute:

Oh, and try to make the missions have as much activity as we had in the DCG campaigns, so at least a few dozen aircraft per side each sortie

Well in DCG we had dozens, but we never saw them :88)

I will have to see how the performance will do as there is a lot of ground objects (armor attacks, convoys moving out of memel, static guns (AT & AA)

but will make sure we have plenty to do in the air as well.
for example having Ju52's going in and out memel to supply the defenses.
air patrols, and ofcourse futile attempts to blow off our attack and intercept our bombers. it's important to stay on the waypoints if you want to encounter the enemy resistance.

the Template I'm making will contain no AIR units at all.
I put them on for that particular sortie and ''save as...''
also will try to move the front a bit and leaving a path of destruction.

Someone PM me the externals on death thingy, I might join but wont be flying the missions.

I don't think they were still in use late war.

For the name how about:
POPE
People's Overwhelming Pilot Experts

(Doesn't make much sense and sounds stupid, so it is perfect for propaganda:D)

Oh, will we use former AI only planes? If not I'll switch the bomber mods off to save some loading time.
