IL2: Forgotten Battles / Pacific Fighters by Ubisoft

A20 on Karulha
 
Mission for FB-AEP-PF merged.
 
Here is a mission for a max of 20 players :
 
-8 fighter pilots (escort and CAP) and
-4 A-20G teams (1 pilot and 2 gunners each)
 
The ideal solution :
 
-let no1 A-20 as AI to lead the pack on the right way,
-and have at least 2 pilots (nos 1 and 3) for each fighter group.
 
For the "simili"-historic thing, read the briefing...
 
Skins are coming with the pack (only 6). Big thank you to their authors, even if I have forgotten their names (except Buglords) !!!
 
Install is very simple :
 
-unzip all in a temporary folder and open the obtained folder (A-20 sur Karulha).
 
-copy-paste everything in your FB-root : everything will automatically go to the right place !!! well... that's how it is supposed to work...
 
-Run the game, launch a coop mission,
 
-choose the new A20 pack,
 
-choose "Attack on Karulha" mission.
 
Pay attention to the briefing. Check the directions on the map (those indicated in the briefing are purely approximate indications).
 
And have a good flight !!!

Pacific Fighters Mission - Coop for 4/8 players
 
On 7 April 1943, Marine Lieutenant James E Swett in an F4F-4 Wildcat called "Melvin Massacre" took off from Henderson field leading an element of VMF-221.
 
28 ?Wildcats? of VMF-221, 8 F4U-1s of VMF-124 and 6 P-38Fs of the USAAF?s 12th FS mission that day were to protect the fleet from an estimated 195 Japanese "Zekes" and "Vals"
 
Upon approaching Tulagi Lt. Swett found 67 D3A2 "Vals" and about 110 "Zekes" starting their attack. Accelerating, he quickly outdistanced his wingmen who were then jumped by the "Zekes" so with no one to help him he waded into the fray.
 
When he came out the other end he was wounded, had no ammunition left, an engine shot up bad enough that it would eventually seize up on him, and 7 confirmed and 1 probable D3A2s downed by his guns
 
For this Lt James Elms Swett earned a Medal of Honor. Can you do the same? Let me know what you think?

Raising Havoc in the Ardennes
 
It is January 23rd, 1945, and it's cold. The German advance in the Ardennes is nearly over, but the Panzer Army is desperately throwing more troops into the breach who try to keep their momentum going in The Battle of the Bulge.
 
Tasked with preventing German reinforcements from reaching the battle front, the Ninth Air Force including A-20 Havocs of the 410th Bomb Group launched a series of low-level attacks on enemy ground forces as they wound their way through the Ardennes. Flying conditions were not easy, cloud bases were low, and snow was in the air.
 
Locating an enemy convoy in open space, the Havoc pilots make a swift attack diving from 8000 feet (2,400m), catching the German force by surprise: Hurtling down the line of vehicles at 320mph (515kph) they release their parafrag bombs from 300 feet (90m) then, dropping just above the roofs of the army trucks continue down the column blasting everything in sight with their forward-firing .50mm calibre machine guns. In the space of a few minutes the attack is completed and the convoy decimated.
 
With amuntion expended and fuel running low the A-20 Havocs climb out of the zone and head for base in France. they return through a blizzard, but all aircraft make it safely home - the lead aircraft, on landing, counting over 100 holes of various sizes. For their part in leading the successful attack the Lead Pilot Russell Fellers and Bombardier/Navigator Gordon G. Jones received the Silver Star.

U.S. Naval Intelligence has learned that Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto is flying into Bougainville at exactly 0800 hrs.
 
US side - you have one chance to get him - do so at ALL costs
 
Your planes are LOW... pull up immediately!
 
Japan Side - Protect our Commander-in-chief.
Your Honor depends upon it.

FW190d9 Red3 JV44 Wuerger Staffel
Hptm. Waldemar Wübke Fw 190D-9 'Rot 3' Im Auftrage der Reichsbahn
(By order of the State Railway)*
*A sarcastic reference to fighters beings used as fighter bombers earlier in the war..
 
Red 3 was one of the four or five Doras known to have been assigned to the Airfield Defence Staffel of Generalleutnant Adolph Galland's Jagdverband 44. The intended role of this small unit was to defend the airspace above JV 44's operational base during the take-off and landing of the Me 262 jets, when they were most vulnerable to Allied fighter attack. The extensive deployment of flak units around the airfield and its approaches necessitated the painting of the D-9s' undersides in a dark color (usually agreed to be red) with narrow white longitudinal stripes, such that they not be mistaken for Allied aircraft which regularly prowled the airfields.
