Mission Online Opération Torch

Letka_13/Kukulo a écrit:Hi Tabarnak

Here is list of carriers and their squadrons. Order is ship name, carrier photo and squadrons assigned to carrier. You and Savoyard will fly in Seafire Ib from HMS Furious (Furious uses "Ski jump" as real carrier uses too. There is no catapult. you need practise take of and landing. I know what I am talking about - when I first time flew from Furious I was really confused, but with training it is possible take of without crash)

Other pilots will fly from HMS Bitter. Atention!!! This carrier (together with HMS Dasher) are smallets carriers in il2 game. There is catapult for take of. Pilots may take of without catapult, but catapult works great so from my point of view there is no reason risk crash in take of without catapult and lost plane or pilot in accident. Sea huuricane IIb is good platform for landing on carrier so with some training pilots will enjoy carrier operations I believe.

Send these info to other pilots please. Photos are here to recognise which carrier is base for which squadron. So on training server join to carrier and train on you carrier (respawn on carrier and of it is not yours, move to another. In event mission you will be informed about your carrier position) . On event you can land on other carrier of course, but as in reality try land on your homebase carrier.

Letka_13/Kukulo a écrit:Here are some notes about upcoming invasion to Oran

Here are goals for Fleet air arm pilots:
- defend carriers and their escorts against enemy aereal attacks
- defend invasion beaches and invasion flotille against enemy aereal attacks
- destroy enemy air force in the air and on the ground
- support penetration of Royal Navy ships into Oran port Mers-el-Kebir
- make blockade of enemy airfields
- support motorised and tank troops engage enemy airfields
- recon

Short drawning of invasion plan:


This is plan. This does not mean that real mission will be same. This plan is for you to train various tactic situations which may occur in mission. So you need read carefully briefing in real mission to know how plan is going. You need brief with pilots from other squads before mission to plan your actions. There will be english speaking pilots too. I suppose that colaboration will not be optimal, but this is ok - real pilots reacted to situations in stress so why not have some "game stress" here too  :yes:

Here is map with real mission carrier positions on mission start to let you know where is your carrier to join her. Carriers will sail from west to east. Every half hour they will change course to simulate zig-zag course. Be prepared for this.

- weather will be good, cant say more at this time

- according to invasion plan, you are cleared to attack everything on the ground what may cause problem to our invasion troops. Except hospital targets

- landing bigins at 1:00AM. Mission start is at 7:00AM, so troops will be landed and they will try make their goals. You will be informed whose troops succeed landings and penetrated defense and are trying reach their goals in the mission briefing. They will need support. So mission is set 6 hours after invasion begins. Airplanes waited for good conditions for their operations.
