And yes for those there have asked this is not IL2 but LockOn: Flaming Cliffs 2

Just pointing it out there... there is no Su-34 on flaming cliffs 2. I think you meant Su-33.

There is the following plane is there : MiG-23, MiG-25 (P, RBW), MiG-27, MiG-29 (A,S), MiG-31, Su-17,Su-25, Su-27, Su-30, Su-33, Su-34, Su-39, Su-24, Su-24MR, Tu-22M3, Tu-95, Tu-142, Tu-160, A-50, An-26, An-30, IL-76, IL-78, Mi-8MT, Mi-24 "Hind", Mi-26 "Halo", Ka-27 "Helix", Ka-50, Ka-52, all thu you need addone to make em all flyabel just like il2.

pfft addons. The quality in the addons in FC2 aren't as good as the ones in IL2.

tru sadly, but trying to use a Tu-95 as a CAS plane is quith interisting to try.

Fligth day 4

01-02-2012

Tarawa 1943 febuar

Fligth:
2x2 Ki-61

Goals for the Day
- Escote 2 fligths of 3 G4M1 on a strike against us carrir task force
- Provide close aircover on attack runs in case of enemy air activity
- Lack of planes so attempt to get plane back to base


Orders
- grey fligth keep close cover
- green fligth(me) keep hige cover
- banzai attack is NOT allowed(FUCK!)
- bomber must reach target!



Pilot's Notes
- Attack on carrier taskforce is not my favorit kind of missions, too much flak
- will aim to go to 3-4km higth to avoid most flak and better wive of skyes



Concerns
- ship has load of aaa espesialy carrirs plus there will most likly be figther cover there too.



The overall fligth
Ok take off went smoot and me and my wing man climped to about 3400m, after about 16mins flying i got an unknown contact at oure 1-o-cloke low i called it in and dived down expecting it to be enemys they where indintified as F4Us and i went head on there leader and mushed him in hes cokpid before he knew we where thereallmost got rammed by hes wing man, my wingman called in an 3th plane and whent after him and nicked hes wing, the last remaining f4u tryed a run for it but suddenly did an higeU and cam back after me du to hes higer speed than me he missed by fare and i did a snap turn and cliped hes wing. As we where regrouping we where raidioed that oure bombers had found the ships and where attacking(all 6 G4M1 droped thier tropedeos but where shot down after they did manged to sink 1 CA and haevy damage one of the carryers) the 2 Ki-61 there had followed the bombers had encounterd 3 more F4Us and shot down 1 and got killed em self in prosses(damit). We then desided to returne to oure base and land but got jumped by 2 F4Us(gussing on the remaning 2) ther destroyed my wingmans engine more or less and i orderd him to returne as i turned down and fired a short burst hitting one of em i dont know what i hitted but it mad him flee, when there was only me and the last F4U back i thort it wud be a long dogfigth but my luck whised somthing els the back i had raidioed after about 25mins eaylier had suddenly aravid and 3 ai Ki-43 came out of nowhere and smacked him up i then flew back to base only to find out it have been attacked by multipli divebombers(SPD/TBF) the flack had done most of work but i still manged to shoot down using my last cannon ammo 2xSPD and 1xTBF, the flacked stoped and i landed whit about 15% fuel left and more or less out of ammo, i later found out my wing man had crash landed on the island but hes plane was scraped so no bonus points there meh.

So my overall kills and losses:
personaly i shot down 2xF4Us plus the last nr 3 there ran from me failed on landing and got killed ramming hes own carrier 2 SPD and 1 TBF bombers, i find this an over all good day for me.

Mission losses from both sides:

Japanese lost: 3xKi-61, 6xG4M1 and 4 static planes and 3 AAA

US losses: 6xF4U,6xTBF,4xSBD and 1xAtlanta class cruiser+1xliquid cargoship(no clue how?)

Goals for the DayNigth
- Inflict as meny losses on enemy forces as posibel
- Avoid plane losses
- Improve my nigth spotting


Orders
- Fligth 1 is starting whit littel sun ligth left and will serve as armed recon for rest of attack later at nigth
- Fligth 2 is in pitch darkness and have been assained a Ju-87 whit para-flares to assist
- Fligth 3 same as above but whit 1 less me410



Pilot's Notes
- Spotting stuff in twiligth is hard making it late nigth makes it only harder
- My normal bomb delay of 2secs have been incressed to 6sec to be safe



Concerns
- Hope i can find the enemy ground troops and pray no nigthfigthres is not around.



So my overall experince was:
Fligth 1: Whit the help of the sun we manged to find the town where the enemy troops where prepering to lounce from on the comming morning, we droped oure bombs and starting strafing allthu it was mostly wasted ammo due to lowligth sigthing problems, that worked both ways and the AAA cudent hit for shit ether so we returned back to base as the last sun dyed out

Fligth 2: As we started it was pitchblack and we had to take off whit full ligth on runway and landing ligth on, we had to fly slow sins we allso had an Ju-87 whit us and dident want to lose him in the nigth the flitgh time before whit the sun was now taking about 40mins longer cous a bug in the nav becons and that the stuka cudent go much faster than 360kmh, we followed a river there shud takes us straigth to the target and dived down to 200meters to gain cover of the mountins against enemy radars, we spotted the town by som fire left from last attack, i asked the stuka to climp to 600meters and fly over town and drop a flare we where cirkeling whiel waiting for him as he approaced suddenly 3 ligth proceters went to life and started to sweep after him in a panic move he droped 3 out of 4 flares instead of 1 and dived away from the closing ligth and flak, whit the new ligth we spotted serval transport collums and droped oure bombs on em and then fled the sceen after about 20mins of fligth i noticed that i had lost my wingman no clue where he had gone to but i cudend find him and he cudent see where he was 20mins later i landed(very hard) and wainted on the 2 others the stuka landed 5 mins later and 15mins later my wingman landed crashlanded in frendly zone and the plane was lost for this nigth but cud be fixed for in som days.

Fligth 3:As whit fligth 2 it was still pitchblack and me and my stuka buddytog the same routh as last time it went fairly smooth this time we found the town again(mostly becouse the search ligths was on), he whent in at 800meters and droped all flares on a line over town and i spotted a lots of closly parked vehicle and droped all my bombs in em(est 12-16 kills) and went home fairly unevent full.

Last note: I was later told after mission that shortly after last bomb run i was spotted by a nigthfigther but he lost sigth and dident shoot, lucky me:-)



Mission losses from both sides:

Axis losses: 1Me410D damaged, 2xPaK40 lost

Allied losses: 1x40mm bofos, 7xtanks(tanks class vehicle) 41xenemy ground unit(vehicles,infantrey,guns ect)

Outcom the next morning:
We did not get meny tanks but we did destroy 80% of thier support elements in that section of front.

Sounds like a challenging mission.
