You are to fight for your survival until support arrives from Stalingrad
Use the circling IL2 method and pinpoint our M16 flak on the airfield in F2
circle this unit for its additional fire support

More detailed briefing plus map to follow on Thursday afternoon

Heres the first stage of the brief

IAF - 12 a/c
You guys have two seperate missions of 6 aircraft each
One group is a pure combat air patrol defending our tanks west of stalingrad - see map below
it is imperative that we keep those tanks alive! if enemy aircraft appear in your zone please call for support from nearby non-IAF flights

Your second mission is to fly photo recon, you must carefully follow the route below flying around well to the south of the airfield in sector F2 where fighting is likely to be heavy
Once all photos are taken escort the IL4 back to the airfield in I3 where they are to land, then the Yak 9 join combat where ever you are needed most

2xIL4 - Photo Recon (escorted) - 10 photos each - 100% - default
4xYak9 - Escort for above - 100% - default
4xYak7 - Central sector sweep
2xLagg3 series 4 - Central sector sweep

IAF BRIEF


102nd - 11 a/c - All aircraft rush to the airfield in F2
2xYak 7* - 100% - default
3xIL2M* - 90% - 2x100+4xRS132

1xYak7 - 100% - 6xRS82
1xYak1PF - 100% - default
We are not interested in a fight away from the airfield all we need to do is control the battle over the airfield and protect our tanks.

These aircraft takeoff from the airfield in I3, you must rush to F2 as quickly as possible
You are to fight for your survival until support arrives from Stalingrad. Use the circling IL2 method and pinpoint our M16 flak on the airfield in F2
circle this unit for its additional fire support. All other aircraft takeoff from Stalingrad area

Uross you know what your guys need to do, just keep those tanks alive and land where you need to
If we kill the infantry on the airfield we will attack axis units to the north and we will use both 102nd and EAF IL2's

102ND BRIEF


EAF - 8 a/c
3xIL2M - 100% - 2x100 + 4xRS132
1xIL2 - 100% - 2x100+8xRS132
4xYak1-PF - 100% - default

Today we have a simple task we need to get as many aircraft as possible over the airfield in F2
Yaks do your thing and bring down 109s and IL2's hold off the incoming bombers
If the situation allows we will move north to engage enemy units in sector E4

EAF BRIEF



GIAP - 5 a/c
4xLagg3 - Tank Escort sector H1, tanks heading north-west - 100% - droptanks
1xLi.2 - Supply drop to the airfield in sector I3 - turn smoke on/off to make the drop. Only one shot at the drop so take care.

Take off in your Laggs and rush to sector H1, sit tight and look after those tanks until they reach the city.

GIAP BRIEF
