Can't complete the "Air Screen" mission

[Bombzey 16]

In the Battle of Starlingrad campaign Part 1 Chapter 2 there is a mission called "Air Screen"

I must have tried this mission 20 times and cannot get it to complete !?!

When I come in to land there is usually 2 planes making the taxi to take off :-

I've waited for these guys to take off then I've have landed but no success?

Then I tried waiting for my wingmen Hawk3 and Hawk4 I think? then landed again but still no joy?

Also tried landing then taking off then landing again to add to the mix

 

There is no mention that I have to engage anything during my flight do I need to attack anything?

 

Someone please help

This is an old type of missions, you've to pass all waypoints and destroy any IL-2. I hope these missions will be removed from the new career.

I do not fully undestand your problem.

So you complete the mission objective, which should be "Destroy X amount of enemy planes" or something like that, but then, when you land, it can not be completed?

Going to try again and see if I can find any IL-2 en-route.

 

Cheers for the help

 Put some holes in their wings and come here again to tell us about it!

You have to pay very close attention to the mission briefing and do exactly what it says. Go through all the waypoints and as has been said, attack something.

For escort missions you must ensure that the aircraft you're escorting reach the mission end waypoint before you can exit the mission. Etc.

As Lensman said, follow the waypoints, if you do reach the interception area and dog fight, bag as many as you can, and keep looking for the next waypoint on the homeward leg to light up and you should be good too fly back to base/land and complete the mission.

 

best of luck.
