|
friendly Ground Attack Aircraft. When NW of KARMANOVA sighted |
|
group of 8+ IL2M bombers escorted by 4 Yak 7's. Flight leader |
|
and his wingman engaged the lead Yak 7 while my wingman and I |
|
dived onto the group of IL2M's. I closed to the leading IL2M to |
|
within 100m and Fired a two second burst. I saw 20mm Strikes on |
|
the enemy IL2 including the rear rudder separate from the |
|
Vertical Stabiliser narrowly missing my canopy. I pulled up |
|
vertical to loose speed and rolled and saw the IL2 descending |
|
slowly crashing South East of KARMANOVA- I Claim 1 IL2M Damaged. |
|
My wingman and I climbed to 4000ft and saw in the distance to |
|
the west our flight leader shoot down a Yak 7 the aircraft was |
|
observed descending in a violent dive on fire with the Starboard |
|
wing separating just before impact with the ground. At this time |
|
another Yak 7 was sighted at low altitude and I dived in for a |
|
stern attack. Coming in too quickly I over shot rolling inverted |
|
I saw my wingman deliver a 4 Second burst of 20mm which caused |
|
the Yak to violently explode. Seconds after witnessing this kill |
|
I saw another IL2M Coming in to attack Friendly Ground Units. I |
|
positioned for another rear attack closing to within 50m. I |
|
Fired all guns for a 3 second burst causing material to fall |
|
from the IL2, Fuel was seen to be leaking and the engine was a |
|
flame. I saw this Il2M crash south of Friendly Tanks in |
|
KARMANOVA. I Claim 1 IL2M Destroyed. A short time later My |
|
wingman and I climbed and searched for enemy aircraft North of |
|
the town. No Further Enemy Aircraft were sighted. My Wingman and |
|
I descended to 500ft and attempted to strafe two T-34 tanks in |
|
KARMANOVA Causing minor Damage. Thick cloud base at 7000ft over |
|
the Area. Landed safely at |
|
VAYZAMA.[/font][/font][/size][/font][/size][/font][/size][/font] |

Welcome MADMICK71! It is a pleasant surprise to see an unusual |
|
pilot open this month's hunting season. I wish you a lot of fun. |
|
Do you remember your mission score? If you don't remember it, |
|
don't worry, it has happened to me before too. We hope to be |
|
surprised by more new riders in this new season. |
|
Have a good week everyone! ;) |

[/font][/font][/size][/font][/size][/font][/size][/font][/size]C |
|
ommandant. |
|
Our mission was to cover a strike over the town of Karmanova. My |
|
section took off without incident. We reached our objective and |
|
began our combat air patrol over the village. It wasn't long |
|
when we heard the call over our radios, "enemy bombers". We |
|
sighted the bombers below us coming in from the east. I ordered |
|
my wingman to attack. |
|
https://i.postimg.cc/fR0NfV9w/May-31-2021-6-20-37-PM.jpg |
|
I then saw an IL-2 bomber below me and made my attack. I dove |
|
below the enemy plane and approached from its six o'clock |
|
position. This helped cover me from his tail gunner. Once I was |
|
within range, I opened up with my cannons and guns. Two pulls of |
|
the trigger was all it took, the left wing separated from the |
|
aircraft and it spun into the ground, exploding on impact. |
|
https://i.postimg.cc/DfBnvkhK/May-31-2021-5-58-29-PM.jpg |
|
https://i.postimg.cc/1zG1bbB2/May-31-2021-6-19-52-PM.jpg |
|
I was able to attack four other enemy bombers with this tactic, |
|
destroying all four. Then from seemly out of nowhere an enemy |
|
fighter appeared in front of me. A Yak was heading strait for |
|
me, head to head, its guns firing. I was able to move slightly |
|
allowing his bullets' to pass by. I then returned fire. I saw my |
|
rounds impact in the cockpit area. The enemy fighter rolled and |
|
then spun into the ground. I saw no parachute. |
|
I then saw another enemy bomber below me. As I began my attack |
|
another Fw-190 made a gun run while my rounds were hitting the |
|
enemy's aircraft. The enemy plane exploded in mid-air. I was |
|
able to claim 1/2 kill here. I saw another "unmolested" enemy |
|
bomber and attacked from below its six. Again, this plane fell |
|
to the earth. As I was pulling away another enemy fighter caught |
|
me by surprise, this time he was on my six. |
|
I saw his tracer rounds flying past me. I also heard his bullets |
|
hit my plane and engine. I still had control and my engine still |
|
had power. I looped up and rolled over on top of my opponent. I |
|
caught him in my sights and fired. His engine caught fire and he |
|
went into an incontrollable spin. I saw one of his ailerons |
|
falling away. The plane exploded when it hit the ground. |
|
https://i.postimg.cc/65qwTj64/May-31-2021-6-15-14-PM.jpg |
|
It was only now that I began feeling something was wrong with |
|
me. My right arm and leg had been hit by his gun fire. The pain |
|
began to creep in and I was seeing red through my eyes. I turned |
|
for home. I was glad that the target area was not far from our |
|
home base. When I was within radio distance I requested |
|
emergency vehicles as I thought I might crack up on landing. As |
|
I turned for my final approach my engine was running very rough |
|
and my control movements were becoming very sluggish. I was able |
|
to safely land and taxied off the runway to the HQ building |
|
area. I shut down the engine and opened the canopy. The medics |
|
pulled me from the cockpit and stopped the bleeding. I was then |
|
rushed to the field hospital. |

Notes: Haukka this was an excellent mission. I thoroughly |
|
enjoyed this one. Well done. Normally I attach pics of my |
|
battles and I have them ready to post, however my free imaging |
|
site (ibbmg) is currently not allowing me access to my web site |
|
albums as they claim there is some sort of security issue. So |
|
when this issue gets resolved, I posts the pics at that time. |

Thank you for your detailed report. When the news reached us |
|
that you were wounded, the guys who were left on the ground here |
|
at the base really worried a lot. We later learned that while |
|
your injuries will scar your right arm and leg, your life is not |
|
in danger at all. You will also spend time in the infirmary, you |
|
are lucky. All guys want to go to the infirmary. You know what |
|
all the pilots think: the maximum prize of this contest is that |
|
a russian bullet grazes your leg, as it has happened to you, and |
|
then having to rest a week or two in the infirmary, attended by |
|
Olga, the nurse. Friend, everyone would like to be in your |
|
place, when the beautiful Olga approaches your bed to bring you |
|
a glass of milk. What a wonderful landscape, in the middle of |
|
the frozen steppe! |
|
https://i.postimg.cc/Nfc2qtnN/enfermera.jpg |
|
Today is my turn to fly. Hopefully a Russian bullet might graze |
|
my leg too. |
|
We will wait for those photographs. See you soon! |

earlier and have started their CAP at the base of the clouds, |

about 1000 meters high. With my point, we keep flying low, to |

detect low entry of the enemy. A little later the squad leader |

|
fog one, then two, then three Russian planes flying very low: |
|
they are IL2. I immediately start the hunt, which will last |
|
about ten minutes, shooting down several IL2 bombers. When the |
|
Soviet attack is over, I return to base. Meanwhile, the other |
|
FWs have drifted away from the area a bit, attracting the |
|
attention of some Russian fighters: they all go into combat, |
|
somewhere out of my visual range, but I can hear the entire |
|
combat through the radio. One of our boys must have jumped, but |
|
he was lucky, and he came down smoothly behind our lines. We |
|
will send a kubelwagen to fetch it. |

Greetings, Friends! So good to be back at this, and congrats to |
|
ALL for the great AAR's. |

Canopy incident becomes a distraction, and I neglect to raise my |

|
[font=Segoe UI Historic, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, |

sans-serif]Mostly followed the planned route to Karmanova, |
|
veering a bit to enjoy the view, which is so much easier to do |
|
without a canopy or silly bracing getting in the way! :P |
|
Spotted multiple flights of IL2's and began the attack. If you |
|
can stay dead-behind the Russian's vertical stabilizer he can't |
|
shoot you without blowing off a piece of his own plane. And just |
|
below the level of the enemy's tail I knew I'd be fairly safe |
|
until close enough for my cannons to be effective. But that's |
|
easier to say than do, as the pilot is not liken to those who |
|
fly the large bombers in a straight line. The IL2 can dogfight, |
|
and by Hitler, they WILL DO IT. In hindsight, B and Z tactics |
|
would have faired better for my plane.[/font] |
|
[font=Segoe UI Historic, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, |
|
sans-serif]Took a few hits from first target, but managed to |
|
shoot down two planes in succession. The last IL2 I attacked |
|
had a VERY skilled gunner and pilot, but I managed to score some |
|
deflection shots, landing on or near the engine, and he began to |
|
smoke. As I turned away I realized that I had also taken fire to |
|
my engine and was losing power.[/font] |
|
[font=Segoe UI Historic, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, |
|
sans-serif]I attempted to land at a friendly field, but as the |
|
power was seeming more consistent I decided to try to make it |
|
home. About this time my last kill was confirmed. Just a few |
|
more km's was all my plane had left in her, so I aimed her at a |
|
flat hilltop and belly-landed, capsizing at low speed and |
|
surviving mostly unharmed. [/font] |

[font=Segoe UI Historic, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, |

I am so glad that you survived your first adventure in an FW-190 |
|
A-4. Anyway, to be very honest, and also fair, you took on the |
|
difficult task of continuing the flight in totally adverse |
|
conditions. Flying without the canopy in the dead of winter, |
|
with freezing temperatures, is practically suicide. Remember the |
|
next time you have an incident during takeoff, that you can |
|
abort the flight and leave again. Everyone gets a second chance |
|
if there are problems on takeoff. Anyway we will send a reindeer |
|
sleigh in search of you. |
|
Thanks for your report. And once again, thank you for your |
|
participation, Bird !!! ;) ;) ;) |
