ATAG Bomber Campaign

http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=17310&d=1431810106


Late last night, British supply ships were spotted entering Folkestone Harbor. German Commanders have ordered a JU-87 attack on these ships, the harbor, and Folkestone itself. Approximately 35 of the Luftwaffe's top Stuka pilots have been ordered to the front lines, along with 20 of the finest BF109 escorts.

The RAF's early warning system has detected a build up of activity along the French coastline, and is worried enough to send up 20 of its deadliest Spitfires and Hurricanes for possible intercept. Supply ships have been ordered to evacuate, anti-aircraft guns are on high alert. Folkestone must be defended at all costs.

Only 20 precious Red fighter slots. No way do I consider myself good enough to steal one of them.

But I'd like to participate, somehow.

What Stuka pilot wants a rear gunner? I got kills my first JU-87 training day in one with DRock the other day (thanks, DROCK!), and regularly while gunning for blennie pilots.

Please lemme know.

And good luck to the Red team. You're gonna need it, chaps. Everyone will be bringing their A-Game to this one, I'm sure.

This is gonna be epic.

I wouldn't worry about being outnumbered, RAF pilots. Knowing how the Stuka went in the Battle of Britain, it's easy to see how this will probably go.

If we imagine RAF Fighter Comamnd as a Japanese girl with pink hair, and the Sturzkampfgruppen as security guards, it'll go something like this: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-pjpimoPLmiw/VIUaiK_IlII/AAAAAAAAAHw/ztZQaWnyp6Y/w500-h282/14%2B-%2B1

Nice! Just let us know the names of the individuals who want to join, and they'll be added. :thumbsup:

Tab 7-1 will be on as normal, but due to the nature of this mission, the RAF will most likely not even need it. They know we're en-route, but will they stop us? I see some very skilled opposition so far. Glad we have good escort pilots. We just need more of them! C'mon 109 drivers, sign in!

It looks like the spits are almost full and we are still in need of stuka pilots. So for those who havnt flown it who normally fly red come and join the 'dark side' for the evening :devilish:. Stukas are a lot of fun, very easy to fly and the event will be a great laugh if well attended. Forget your normal allegiances and so on for the event - its not a red v blue event, but rather a chance to get a large formation of bombers in the air in a semi organised fashion. The winners of the event will be those taking part and the losers those who miss out :thumbsup:

For those Hurricane and spitfire pilots who have not tried the stuka, below are the additional controls you need to set up to fly it. Throttle, prop pitch, switching gunsight on, fuel on/off, flaps and so on work just the same as in your regular ride. Radiator uses same control but works slightly different (just like a 109), you move the control to open or close it to a setting you want (50% is a set and forget setting once airborne) and release the control once its at your desired setting - there is a handy dial in cockpit (top right) - pointing to 5 o clock position is fully open, 1 o clock fully closed , 3 o clock = 50%.

From the VIEW menu:
- 'lean to gunsight' (you need this somewhere handy to use repeatedly in a fight). Some folks swear by it, others swear about it - optional

From the AIRCRAFT (KEYS) menu add:
- Toggle airbrake (occasional use) - comes with free siren sounds and an alarmingly steep flight towards the earth/sea :D
- Drop Ordnance (somewhere handy of course) - drop your bomb(s)
- Toggle bombs armed (used once per flight) - somewhat embarrassing if you forget this bit before dropping your bombs...which never happens of course :recon:
- Select previous bomb bay (somewhere handy) - these allow you to drop the large central bomb separately to the wing bombs so you get to bomb two rather than just one ship :D. Central bomb is bomb bay 1,
- Select next bomb bay (somewhere handy) - see above
- close oil radiator (occasional use)
- Open oil radiator(once per flight) - set it at 55% and forget about it basically.
- #1 Supercharger previous step (occasional use)
- #1 Supercharger next step (once per flight) - unleash the full & er 'awesome' power of the stuka engine above 1500m :recon:
- close side window (occasional use)
- open side window (once per flight) - opens the aiming window between your feet in the cockpit - a nice breeze in the cockpit is useful on a warm day or indeed to get rid of any unpleasant aromas resulting from seeing 3 spits suddenly drop into your 6 o clock :)

Fun guaranteed or your money back :D

May-20-2015, 11:50
KEEP IN MIND

The Stukas will have direct orders to get bombs on targets, then get out. If surrounded and without escorts they may fight, but their first objective is to get home and rearm. This is not a 55 vs. 20 dogfight. It's the BF109 escort's job to fight.

The game will be lost by the Axis if the Stukas stay and fight.

It would be beneficial to the RAF to concentrate on incoming bombers, as they are the objective. This mission is about Folkestone, not how many enemy kills.

Every pilot will have a hard fight on its hands.

This will be the most action packed hour and a half these skies will see,

...until the next campaign.:)

Please let me(109's) Turn(87's) know if you're interested and what time/days you're available. The sooner the better,

Also, if you see either of us on TS the next couple days, jump on and jump in!

The Stuka pilot needs to study the Intel. Arial photography has been collected.

If your zone is destroyed, it will tell you. You will then be assigned to another zone. That's why it's important to know all the targets.

Your squad and zone will assigned in the ready room during briefing.

Squad leaders will be decided once squads are divided.

A very short briefing will answer questions you may have.

Yes can we do flight leads before hand here so there isn't everyone 15min before start time saying "who am I with?"

And on an other note could we do a load in time(2100UTC), then 15min after have a take off time. I was thinking that it might gave every one time to line up and if there is anyone with game delays it might give them a chance to keep up.

This is on top of showing up 30min before 2100.

24 hours until the battle begins.
Stuka pilots, study the targets on the map of Folkestone supplied to you. Each Bomber squad will be assigned to their own sector. Squad leaders will assign targets in that sector.
This is going to be incredible.:)

I was skeptical of the ratio and it's a good ratio. Maybe a couple more 109s?

Thanks DRock, Freya, Stormbat, InvaderZim, Flare, Injerin, Colander, and Snapper for creating a great one! Keep Stuka Storm on your short list of missions to re-run some day soon :)

Short, simple 'n sweet. Loved it.

Also, thanks to Madmaxkilla, Ruff and others for helping this noob Stuka pilot from cooking his engine. Didn't know it could be a problem at altitude!

Man...that was a close match, guys. Well done Reds. But Blues came within a HAIR of victory. Do you know how close? Let me show you. I happened to capture video of the last required target being bombed. A single transport ship. Ship #8 of the 8 required. Did we hit it, or did we not? Video below.

Disclaimer: this is just raw, unedited video uploaded immediately after the event while the juices are still flowing. The only drama is knowing its context:


Third and final Stuka/109 crossing. On the deck. Do or die.
My engine got shot up 1 mile from the harbor. In the drink my Stuka goes.
5 minutes left in match!
Bravo (harbor) still needed. Alpha (Ships) still needed!!
I randomly yank the scroll bar down in the player list and literally double-click on the first Stuka gunner slot that my eyeball finds.
it's WhiteYeti...I'm in his gunner seat. What's he up to? I have no idea.
video begins here...


(pause it around the 0:23 mark :)

Great Event and big Fan!
Our group consisted of five boards. And we had to attack the eastern part of sector CHARLIE. Our airfield was Oye Plage. When was the first flight we come to the rendezvous point (and we lingered at the start) I saw a huge number of aircraft on the French Point. It was an impressive! Unfortunately my Bandikam refused to fix this action. We joined the group in excess of 500 meters and the group began to go on the course. At the same moment we were attacked and two aircraft returned home with injuries.
Valek successfully attacked two hangars in our sector and then was shot down.
The server is constantly informed about the destruction of our comrades by Corvette ship. After the first raid were destroyed both part of the sector Charlie.
In the second raid, we attacked the sector alpha.
I attacked the eastern Corvette. After the dive, and drops the bomb, I lost a wing and fell into the water. Our guys attacked transport ships. Sandy made two attack and sank two ships. Corvette was damaged but still fiercely fired at our aircraft.
In the third raid in our group left three Junkers and after took of and rally, we did not fall at zero and took the 1500 meters and came close to the right of the main group.
Red's attack on lower was terrible. Every now and then before our eyes climbed up after the attack, our 109th, overturned and fell again and again in this mess.
General group comes to ships. We leave to the right and go around the ships with the Corvette by east and attack in one drop sector Bravo from the rear. We went out on the water and ready to attack remained ships. Was reported about destroying Sector Bravo. Good!!! Sandy attacked western Corvette and it explodes. A second before it has time to attack Corvette damage him and he falls into the water. I see eastern Corvette, a burning cargo ship and one more semiflooded. I dive on Corvett drop and nothing I understand that have no bombs...
Return to home. All мy comrades shot down...Mission ended. Reds defended Dover. landing on Wissant...Just two damaged ship has not sunk at this time. :)
Thanks ATAG, thank you to everyone who participated and prepared this Event! We are looking forward to the next! :thumbsup:

Seconded! Big thanks to GF and Haza for making sure our little tail end Charlie group held it together.

The first wave provided an enduring memory - watching the carnage all around and then suddenly finding myself unscathed off Folkestone. Took out a ship, got my rudder shot to ribbons and made it back to safety across the channel. Huzzah!

The less said about the second wave the better as I blew my engine during forming up.

The third and final low-level wave was particularly entertaining with GF humming the Ride of the Valkyries over TS. Shame I was downed before getting to the target. I would love to have known what the first wave looked like incoming from the allied side of things.

We will be hosting Stuka Storm again in the future, to give people a chance to try a new aircraft and get a different perspective.

I too, would love to try and intercept the Stukas.

ATAG members are working on several more campaigns for the community. New maps are being made, with lots of new targets, and featuring a different selection of aircraft each time.

These campaigns are a great way to get to know a new aircraft you may have never flown. Look for training of the featured aircraft in our flight school the week leading up to the campaign. Also, several people have offered to have practice nights for the bombers. A great idea.

Look for our next campaign within a few weeks.

You guys should make the next one so that everyone MUST switch sides next time... to mix it up.
Regardless if you know how to or not, learn before or learn as you go during the flight...your choice.
But make it so that everyone on the list flying Stukas this time, must fly RAF and the same for the RAF, must fly Stukas or BF109 support fighters to cover.
Then you got something here!

I would also like to offer a huge thank you to all those involved with organizing this event and all the pilots that participated. This event was the kind of match that I longed for since I started playing Cliffs. Just from TS chatter that day, you could tell a lot of people were seeing something they had never seen before. There are certain moments that I will never forget in Cliffs and this one will rank at the top for some time. I survived the event without loss of my 109 until less than a minute left when a corvette killed my pilot. I had 2.07 kills and put a beating on a Spit and a Hurricane towards the end but game ended before they went down. I'll call it 2 kills and 2 prob.

Can't wait for the next event you guys come up with.
