Dance over Port Moresby

[=VARP=Dragunov]

OK Kukulo!
Thank you for all information, I'll be on TS at 19:45.

"Second lil problem is that ingame map is not enought detailed. There are rivers missing for example. This is same for both sides and I cant change it. Historical solution is... that all is in hurry and we have all maps we can get for navigation and their quality is poor... like often in reality"
Thats great! I'm allways lost on map, nothing new!

Mission plan... Red side leader is Magot. Mission will start at 20:00 CET, game time 8:00AM. It will be good if your two earlier pilots will be there at 19:45. Magot will brief you about upcoming mission. In fact it will be attack on Lae airfield. Common mission for red fighters in that territory. Details in briefing by Magot. According to my test, Lae is cca 40 minutes from Port Moresby in Cobra - depends on speed and alt of course (range is 300km).

Airacobra nosi bombu od 500 lb ili 75 galona droptank. Za napad na aerodrom moramo čuti Magotov briefing da li radimo cover (75 galon tank) ili GA ( bomba 500 lb). 100% gorivo. Lae je na sjeveru okomito iznad naše baze s koje polijećemo- BERRY. Berry je baza u blizini Port Moresbyja (imamo i vanjski pogled za uzlijetanje) .
U slučaju većih oštećenja aviona u blizini japanskog aerodroma Lae je saveznički aerodrom BULOLO na koji bi se moglo sletjeti.



Second mission is scramble against bomber attack against Port Moresby. If your later pilots join party at 21:00 than surviving pilots from Lae attack mission will be on the way home. Contact Magot on TS for more informations.

Ovdje se nema puno za objašnjavati, japanci napadaju Port Moresby, Thor i Hunter ih presreću, Kroat i ja kad se vratimo . O G4M1 sve znamo, a slabe točke su rep aviona (koji god dio repa otpadne pada u kovit) i korijen krila gdje im je dio spremnika za gorivo. Cobrina municija 12,7 je količinski dovoljna za uništiti 2-3 bombera, kada se ostane na samo 7.62 onda više nema smisla napadati bombere. Zero ima tank u korijenu krila a zapalit će ga i pogodak u nos.

Bomb load on P-39 in may 1942 is not historical as far as I know (maybe I am not right, but did not noticed bombload on Cobras in Lae area in may 42). I instructed magot to load drop tanks. Reds will badly need it For P-40 it is impossible get back without drop tank.

[=VARP=Dragunov]

Kroat i ja smo startali sa Berry aerodroma, nedaleko Port Moresbyja. 100% goriva i drop tank. Do našeg cilja, aerodroma Lae imali smo oko 50-60 minuta leta iznad planina. Mapa lijepo izgleda, nažalost nije bila završena do meča, pa neke stvari fale u minimapi. Ali to nije bitno, može proći. Navigacija je bila dosta jednostavna, jer smo se od Berryja zaputili na 355 stupnjeva, izbili na obalu te prateći kopno spustili se do Lae. U napad smo krenuli s oko 2000 metara visine. P 39 je strašno ubrzala u silaznoj putanji i već je bila na preko 500 km/h kada sam odlučio ipak malo sjašiti s gasa. Kroat se već spustio do aerodroma , uništio G4M1ali se zabio u zemlju. Šteta. Mogli smo si ipak čuvati 6 da se to nije desilo. Za divno čudo , od AAA ni traga ni glasa. Kroat mi je objasnio gdje su Bettyne, skrivene u nekoj šumici, pa sam ih tamo napao i zapalio dvije. Nakon toga sam se okrenuo prema Zeroima koji su bili parkirani oko piste, zapalio sam dva a onda, što je bilo za očekivati, pojavili su se neprijateljski lovci. Nisam ih ni vidio, samo sam osjetio kako me granate pogađaju u rep, Cobra se prelomila, a sa 20m visine nisam ni stigao iskočiti, nego sam se zalijepio u pistu. Da je Kroat ostao živ, možda bismo ih prije primjetili i nekako reagirali, ovako što je tu je.... nijedan od naših aviona nisam vidio u tome sektoru.
Na drugoj misiji, coveru iznad Port Moresbyja, pridružili su nam se Thor i Hunter. Čekali smo bombardere i to je potrajalo, preko dva sata u zraku. Nisam znao da P 39 može toliko ostati u zraku jer avion nema neki veliki domet (iako smo imali i droptank). Ništa se nije dešavalo, osim što sam par puta primjetio P 40 koji su ih isto tražili. Odjednom su G4M1 izletjele iz neba i to sa zapadne strane. Prekasno smo ih vidjeli, bombe su već bile bačene. Jedina sreća je što smo bili na istoj visini pa smo krenuli u obračun s njima i pratećim lovcima. Zaletio sam se na dvije Bettyne, krenuo udesno prema prvoj, ali je druga izvela oštri manevar prema gore, podigla se kako bi me mogao gađati i drugi gunner sa 20mm. Samo sam okrenuo Cobru na lijevo i prošarao preko neprijateljskog aviona lijevo desno, odmah mu je buknuo lijevi motor... u isto vrijeme me je zasula kiša metaka, Zero je bio iza mene i zadimio me. Krenuo sam u dive, pokušavajući ga se otresti, još jedan Zero, više se nisam mogao vratiti u napad na drugi G4M1. Završili smo nisko iznad zemlje u svakakvim manevrima kada se pojavio Kroat i pokušao skinuti Zeroa s mojih 6. Čuo sam ga kako viče "Nemam municije!" a drugi Zero je krenuo njemu na 6. Nekako sam se izvrtio u tom smjeru, Kroat je prošao ispod mene a ja sam u head on-u raspalio po Zerou i odvalio mu lijevi dio repa. Još jedan Zero iza ovog, obojica smo promašili. Gledao sam gdje je Kroat, ali već je bio zapaljen. GRRRR. Kobra je letjela i dalje zadimljena, mislio sam nekako do Port Moresbyja na slijetanje, ali okolo mene su zujali Zeroi... osim jednog koji je čudno letio, to je bio onaj kojem sam otkinuo dio repa. Krenuo sam za njim, opet Zero iza mene, ali gađa rižom, stalno zvoni u kabini, Zero mi ne može pobjeći ali ja ga ne mogu sustići. I onda mic po mic sam mu se primakao , otvorio vatru iz daljine da ga malo preplašim, zamahnuo je krilima i napravio grešku, pokušao se penjati, otvorio mi se gornji dio aviona i onda rafal u njega, odmah je buknio. U isto vrijeme sam dobio rafal i zapalio se, nije bilo druge nego iskočiti iz aviona.
Koliko vidim po njihovim izvještajima samo jedna Bettyna se vratila nazad, ostale su srušene.

Moja bilanca je:
2 x G4M1 na aerodromu Lae, 1 x G4M1 iznad Port Moresbyja

2 x A6M21 na aerodromu Lae, 1 x A6M21 iznad Port Moresbyja
Statsa nema, ali se to može vidjeti u logu.

Hey guys!

Thanks for joining event. For most pilots it was very exciting adventure. Of course waiting on CAP or escorting over New Guinea it was not so exciting, but it was realistic in its duration Maybe not all pilots was so happy, but we did what we can to make it good for all.

There are some interesting reports from pilots on our forum. Mybe translator may help: http://www.letka13.sk/forum/viewtopi...8&start=20#top

Mission log (not complete, only Saldy was in the air when it was copied): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OA6...ew?usp=sharing

Stats does not work for this mission.

[=VARP=Dragunov]

Yes, very realistic. Waiting for bombers was very intense, but climbing with P 39 was on the edge of our patience . Historically, P- 39 was useless above 2500 m and we have proved that. It is a far better plane for GA which was seen in first mission... lots of ammo , capable to make lots of damage (even without bomb) .
But the final fight was great! Congratulations to all pilots who participated, !
And yes, i translated reports, it is interesting to hear how they experienced the match!

Please call us again if you plan to continue with actions on New Guinea, OK ?
Salute and we stay in touch!

[Letka_13/Kukulo]

Copy that, only one Betty - Saldy - made it home to Rabaul after five and half hour from take of. We lost 3 Zeroes over port Moresby. Two were shot down and last one, me, was damaged by P40 and when I dived to get him I hit Oleg Threes... and was counted as kill to enemy. Epic battle it was



We started working on next event. We will stay in Pacific. But in 1945... If all goes well we well see ya between Christmas and new year

[=VARP=Dragunov]

Pacific 1945! Jeeees! We played our last SEOW on Pacific.... carriers, kamikaze, big bombing raids, beautiful.
When times come, just send us message, OK ?
And between, if you have some dogfight events on server just send us message.
