תזכורת - לו"ז יום ראשון השתנה!
יום א' - שתי משימות, סקטור מלטה וסקטור לוב
21:15 - התכנסות ב-TS.
21:45 - תחילת משימת מלטה.
23:15 - סיום משימת מלטה.
23:45 - תחילת משימת לוב.
01:15 - סיום משימת לוב.
כיוון שהמשימה תופעל אוטומטית ללא אפשרות לדחות או לחכות, כולם צריכים להתייצב ב-TS לא יאוחר מ-21:15. אנחנו צריכים להספיק להתאגן ולתדרך בזמן.
תקלה בפורום בלעה לי את התרגום של התדרוך לעברית, עקב עומס עלי הוא יופיע באנגלית. מצטער 
| Twister כתב: | Previous mission results:
1) Mission commander was IAF.116~ViFF. His comments are welcome.
2) Good results last Malta mission again. We did lose 3 Spitfires and 3 Hurricanes. We're starting to feel attrition in the number of available aircraft now, and we can't afford it! However, the enemy lost 9 bombers and 9 fighters (of which 6 were Fiat CR42's). I can't see them continuing this very costly bombing campaign for much longer if we keep this up.
3) Commanders Cat and Ulrich have sent a message reporting the approach of an Allied convoy, taskforce Zulu, to Malta. It's currently approximately 50km south-west of Valetta, grid K5 numpad 1. It is comprised of a battleship, 4 destroyers, 3 cruisers and two freighters (unfortunately only two), covering an area of several square km. It's steaming heading 315-320 deg. directly towards Valetta, at slightly less than 20kph. Our primary role this mission will be to make sure the convoy survives its journey to Valetta, which will span the next 2-3 missions. It is top priority. Protection of Malta will mostly if not completely be abandoned. Many assets there are already destroyed in any case.
Lighting conditions:
Takeoff time is 21:00. Forecast weather conditions are good, clouds at 1300m.
Formation flying is relatively unaffected; aircraft are quite visible under 500m range. Aircraft spotting and recognition is extremely difficult at ranges greater than 1km. It's possible to spot and sometimes classify ships at a range of under 10km when flying at an altitude of under 500m; presumably slightly easier at a medium-low altitude. All of these figures are slightly worse when flying over water and slightly better over land.
Predicted enemy tactics:
The enemy will most likely employ small formations of up to four bombers each, closely escorted by pairs of fighters, perhaps even carrying bombs themselves. A small fighter sweep force will possibly exist. The enemy might employ single fighters, recon aircraft or fighter bombers to scout ahead and find the convoy. These should be shot down on sight, but be extremely careful not mistake the two single B-24's for enemy aircraft! CR-42's could very likely be used again as bombers. Their bomb load is quite light, but a couple can easily sink a freighter together.
They might attack Malta as well the convoy. We'll just have to live with that, since at least five factories in Malta are worth a single freighter. However, I'm still considering dispatching a pair to protect Valetta (unlikely).
Notes on this issue from the experienced pilots and commanders of the Med missions are welcome, since I never participated in a convoy protection mission in this campaign.
Briefing:
7 Spitfire Vc and 3 Hurricane MkIIb - CAP over taskforce Zulu, point defense over the convoy up to about a 20km radius. This time our tactics are a type of guerilla warfare with a gaggle of small formations, made possible by nighttime. Split up into pairs at various altitudes, 1000-5000m. If you identify a formation of more than 2-3 enemy bombers (be sure that you're not counting escorting fighters), report their position, altitude, numbers and heading as accurately and as quickly as possible. Fighter engagements should be relatively negligible due to poor lighting conditions, avoid them if possible and especially if unfavorable. Spits takeoff and land in Takali, Hurricanes – Hal Far.
2 B-24 - Patrol north and ahead of taskforce Zulu and sink any armed enemy ships. These will be easily identifiable as they will be shooting at you. Don't attack unidentified vessels or any merchant ships. Be aware of two fishing boats along the path of the convoy (decoys). Be very careful when flying at low altitude since depth perception is terrible at night. Be especially careful of masts, which are barely visible but are a lot higher then the ships. Therefore, it's preferable to stay higher than 50m and pull up even higher after releasing bombs. Maintain radio contact with the fighter formations to make sure they don't mistake you for enemy aircraft when you're near the convoy. Don't forget to open bomb bay prior to attacking. Loadout: 16 X 500lb bombs (eight pickles).
Note - IAF will be reserving 7 fighter slots, if we may. |

| Devill כתב: | Hi all,
This is the roster and the short briefing for the next Lybia mission.
Attack Group:
1x B24J Liberator
- Preliminary allocation: 242nd
- Start from reinforcement point and fly to Burdiyah (alt 500m) to meet up with Beaufighters and Spitfires. Guide all flights to wpt 3 by use of radio compass.
-Then proceed N ad search for enemy CL and DD between wpt 4 and 5.
You have 16x500lbs bombs. Watch for time limit.
8x Beaufighter MkI
- Preliminary allocation: 102nd
- Start from Sylum, and meet with other flights at Burdiyah (500m). Follow the B24 to AH23, then west to the coastline. At "feet dry", one flight of 4 turns S (180) to La Bomba, and the second flight remains on hdg 270 to Martubah. Destroy all AAA and parked A/C on both fields.
- OTW home, fly over Gazala and strafe all vehicles there; we expect only allied infantry in the area, and maybe 3x Vickers tanks S of the field. Everything else is to be destroyed.
4x Spitfire MkVc-2FB
- Preliminary allocation: 102nd
- Start from Burdiyah, and meet with B24. Escort the formation to AH23, then proceed W with Beaufighter flights. Hold station at the coast (AF23) until called by beaufighters for assistance. If there is noo enemy fighters, proceed to Gazala and expand your ordnance there.
Defence Group:
3x Tomahawk IIa
- Preliminary allocation: IAF
- Start from Marsa Luc. Meet with Hurricane IIb at Tobruk. Patrol between Tobruk and El Adhem, but actively seek engagement as far as Gazala. Main mission is to protect our airfields and fuel in your area, but also to entangle and delay enemy fighters. Stay with Hurricanes and use your numbers to your advantage.
2x Hurricane IIb
- Preliminary allocation: 242nd
- Start from El Adhem. Meet with Tomahawks at Tobruk. Patrol between Tobruk and El Adhem, but actively seek engagement as far as Gazala. Main mission is to protect our airfields and fuel in your area, but also to entangle and delay enemy fighters. Stay with Tomahawks and use your numbers to your advantage.
Allocations are just preliminary, and final roster will depend on the pilot availability. If IAF or 242 pilots want slots in the raid, it will be possible, but you must coordinate with other flights. It is possible to fill one Beau flight and 2 spitfires with 102nd and the others with mixed 242/IAF crews.
C U tonight! |
בהצלחה, נתראה באוויר

רציתי להתנצל בפניכם על הצורך "לנטוש" באמצע המשחק.
לצערי התעוררה בבית בעיה שהייתי חייב לעזור בפתרונה במיידי, ללא כל אפשרות דחייה כדי לפחות להנחית את המטוס ולמנוע אבידה מיותרת כל כך.
מקווה שלמרות זאת הייתה לכם משימה מוצלחת, ושלא איבדתם כוחות נוספים כך שאובדן הספיט שלי יהיה פחות משמעותי למשימות הבאות. |
