| Almost as proud of my flight as I am of myself for remembering | |
| that they were there to assist me. Took off to the SE after | |
| being quickly briefed that 4 very important bridges were in | |
| danger of attack. Met Bombers from slightly above and turned | |
| onto them, raking them one at a time until each one turned away. | |
| I shot one down, and soon the bridges were safe. Did a quick | |
| flyover to ensure our success. The Russian escort fighters | |
| decided to attempt revenge, but were reluctant to follow us all | |
| back to base. I had one lined up for a shot, but ran out of | |
| ammo. Landed safely, with little damage. Movie will appear soon | |
| to detail our adventure. | |

| Extraordinary, friend Tsisqua, that's what is called "mission | |
| accomplished like in the movies." Thank you for risking your | |
| life for the Finnish homeland. And also you come back with all | |
| your boys and with all the planes! We cannot be happier! I'll | |
| talk with the Boss, you deserve a promotion. Thank you very | |
| much for your flight. ;) | |

| Mission: Week #11 | |
| Mission Type: Bomber Intercept / Bridge Protection | |
| Date Flown: 03/14/21 | |
| Version: VpMod Act | |
| Results: Survived, Primary/Secondary Mission Success, 2x Enemy | |
| Bombers Destroyed, 1x Enemy Fighter Damaged, 600 pts | |
| After Action Review (AAR): | |
| Recieved briefing from the Boss about protecting 4x bridges in | |
| sector F-11. I took off with my group without incident. We | |
| formed the group and headed for our assigned sector. The | |
| briefing stated that enemy Cossack bombers were headed our way. | |
| As we approached the sector one of our recon planes, a | |
| Gladiator, reported sighting enemy bombers west of F-11. I | |
| ordered the group to head for the enemy bombers. | |
| https://i.ibb.co/bBgW0Mx/Mar-14-2021-10-30-55-PM.jpg | |
| We were at an altitude of 700 meters when we sighted the | |
| bombers. I ordered the group to attack. I then dove and | |
| intercepted an enemy bomber on his six and opened fire. The | |
| bomber's port engine nacelle caught fire. The bomber dropped | |
| their bombs and turned back for their home base. I broke off and | |
| found another target. I rolled over and made another attack from | |
| the six o'clock position. I hit the bomber hard with my guns. I | |
| think I killed the pilot as the plane rolled almost immediately | |
| crashing into the ground and exploded. | |

| As I pulled up and away from the strickened bomber I saw another | |
| aircraft. I did not recognize it. I knew immediately though that | |
| it was an enemy aircraft. During our briefing we were told that | |
| the enemy had a new fighter and we might see it during this | |
| mission. This must have been it. I pulled up into her before she | |
| could get her gun sights on me. One thing I noted right away, it | |
| was fast, allot faster than I was. We had quite the aerial dance | |
| for sometime. I was able to [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, | |
| sans-serif]m[/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, | |
| sans-serif]aneuver onto its six ... once. I let go with my guns. | |
| I saw my rounds impact on its starboard wing. The enemy fighter | |
| turned for home, running from the fight.[/font] | |

| https://i.ibb.co/TvRb7KD/Mar-14-2021-10-49-07-PM.jpg[/font] | |
| [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I then ordered the | |
| group to return to home base. All enemy bombers but one were | |
| destroyed. All four bridges we were ordered to protect were left | |
| "unharmed". Our group returned home safely.[/font] | |

| I complained about the processing, but I must have watched the | |
| pre-completed preview at YT. Actually isn't bad, especially if | |

| Debrief: | |
| [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, | |
| sans-serif][size=2][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, | |
| sans-serif]We took off safely. Simple navigation following the | |
| directions. Incredibly, I was so confident that I knew the | |
| route, that when I reached the fork of the river in Sanok | |
| (E-11.9), instead of following the river on the left, I | |
| absentmindedly took the one on the right, skirting Sanok. | |
| Apparently I liked the place. [/font][/font][/size] | |

| [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, | |
| sans-serif][size=2][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, | |
| sans-serif]Soon I realized that the landscape was unfamiliar to | |
| me, I began to nervously look at the map, the rivers did not | |
| coincide, while I was in these tasks, I saw two contacts far | |
| away from my nine, and a little further away, two others. .. I | |
| turn quickly towards them, while signaling my pilots to attack | |
| the bombers. [/font][/font][/size] | |
| https://i.postimg.cc/Kcw4Cvvt/il2fb-2021-03-15-17-32-29-88.jpg | |
| I put full power on, but I've wasted a lot of time, and the | |
| first pair of bombers are heading straight for the bridges. The | |
| train driver seems to have realized what was happening, because | |
| he accelerated his locomotive to full speed. It was a hell of a | |
| race between the Russian twin engines and the locomotive, I was | |
| the last one and had no hope of getting there ... I saw the | |
| bombs fall a few meters from the rise of the bridge, but they | |
| did not explode, so the bridge continued intact. I let those two | |
| walk away and took advantage of my position to turn around and | |
| go in search of the second pair of bombers. Fortunately I found | |
| these two head-on. I attacked from below without success. I and | |
| a colleague chased after them, emptying our cannons on them. One | |
| of them crashed just across the river, the other fled away | |
| smoking. | |
| https://i.postimg.cc/h41c1DQS/il2fb-2021-03-15-17-38-27-32.jpg | |
| Soon I saw shots from a fighter, the well-known green tracers. I | |
| could see a slender, unknown, very modern fighter attacking our | |
| Gladiator observer, who defended very well against Russian | |
| attacks. I ordered a rejoin of all fighters, and we immediately | |
| went after the attacker. We soon discovered that there were two | |
| of them. They were very fast. It was impossible to reach them. | |

| Today has been one of those days when I feel like all the | |
| rabbits are escaping me. The boy in the biplane and another of | |
| my hunters were ready for when the enemy fighter ran out of | |
| power, when that happened my pilots were there to give him love. | |
| The Russians decided to move away, one of them badly damaged. We | |
| regrouped once more and headed home. All landed safely. | |

| Thanks for your generous comments, Dhumphrey and Bird. It really | |
| hasn't been a good flight for me, I got lost like a goose on a | |
| golf course and was late for the appointment, although not | |
| quite. That situation annoyed me a lot. I survived anyway, and | |
| will be able to fly next week. What I liked the most is that you | |
| guys enjoyed the mission more than I did, that's my prize. | |
| Cheers! | |

| After Action Review: | |
| An alert! I had to quickly leave my cigar and drink behind and | |
| leap into my cockpit and take to the skies on our urgent mission | |
| of protecting our bridges from the enemy. We took off, gained | |
| altitude and straight away headed for our patrol area. Sure | |
| enough we quickly spotted the incoming bombers and I ordered our | |
| attack. I hit one bomber with a head-on pass and got him | |
| smoking, then spun around nimbly upon his tail dodging his rear | |
| gunner fire and broke his wing off (at ultra close range) with | |
| my guns. | |
| I got another bomber smoking but lost sight of him as an enemy | |
| fighter (one of the new types?) buzzed me and gave me a burst. | |
| I tried to follow him but could not gain on him...he had great | |
| speed! In the mean time one of my fellows must have finished | |
| off the bomber I had shot into. Well, there's kills for all to | |
| share, eh? | |
| I swung in behind a bomber heading for a bridge and zig-zagging | |
| and jenking and swaying about dodged the gunner fire until very | |
| close... with my crosshairs on the cockpit area I opened up with | |
| guns blazing and saw the plane literally come apart at the seams | |
| from my red hot slugs! | |
| Kill two! | |
| I latched onto another but was again 'out of ammunition!' This | |
| is maddening to have a target rich environment yet not enough | |
| bullets to kill them all. Perhaps my shooting is irregular or | |
| just sloppy and I'm wasting ammo? | |
| I sicked my wingman upon him though and he got the kill. None | |
| of the bombers made it through our excellent defenses. I did | |
| loose a man though due to those 'new' enemy fighters...drat | |
| them! We did chase them off though and they left in a big | |
| hurry. We flew on to our base and landed successfully and being | |
| low on petrol I taxied up to our fuel storage area for a refill. | |
| All in all a favorable mission and certainly a fun one. I'm | |
| thinking my commander may mention me in a dispatch over this | |
| one. | |
| Congrats to E_69 for such excellent work! ;D | |

| This has been one of the most entertaining missions for me, | |
| especially since it is my own idea and I really enjoyed creating | |
| it. My fear while building it was that it would be too difficult | |
| and impractical, but all of you passed the test, including me. | |
| Congratulations Beo for another good mission completed on the | |
| base and with objectives clearly achieved. | |
| You've quickly caught up with the missions, good luck on the | |
| next mission # 12, the farewell to Finland ... | |
