Platzschutzstaffel Pitomnik Campaign (Bf-109 G-2)

[ZM12CR8]

wow, great screenshots! ?

I will play this campaign soon. But first i´ve to finisch
"Lost Hope"

Thanks for sharing the campaign!

 

I'm not very good or experienced with WW2 sims and I'm a bit overwhelmed in mission 3. It's just me and my wingman against 8 enemy fighters. I would appreciate tips on tactics. Am I supposed to wait until they are close to the airbase so I get help with AAA or something like that? Or maybe this campaign is just too difficult for me at the moment

You can finish the mission without shooting down any enemy planes. All you have to do to complete the mission is to land back at your airfield.

 

I would suggest to attack only one of the enemy flights, if you do it correctly the second flight will not interfere.

 

You should use the same tactics Luftwaffe pilots used over Stalingrad:

- Only attack if you have a advantage in speed and altitude.

- Avoid prolonged turn fights.

- Make one firing pass, climb back to altitude and attack again.

- When you have lost your advantage, use the superior speed of the Bf-109 to get away.

 

The tactic is sometimes called "Boom and Zoom". You can find a good explanation here:

That mission was very complicated for me too, I repeated it three times before completing it successfully ?

[cuervo111]

Thanks for the tips @Juri_JS! I'll try that again.

Glad to see I'm not the only one @Numenor225

I finished this campaign yesterday. It was excellent! I really liked how even if it's relatively simple and has no voice overs you get a sense of purpose and continuity with it. The written story is engaging too. Thanks for your time making it @Juri_JS

I like the campaign so far! (5missions in) , but I wish the victory condition coud be to land at the airfield even if not all objectives are complet. Intercepting pe2s even with the most conservative tactics always makes my plane too messed up to do the other objectives. ?

Like in all my campaigns the only condition for success is landing at the player's airfield.

Then its as I wish alredy and I dont know why I didnt get mission complete on landing ?  maybe my plane was too much of a wreck? ?

I've updated the campaign to game version 4.701.

Changes:

- Adjusted weather and waypoint settings to the new clouds.
- Added some minor adjustments and improvements.

The campaign has been updated to game version 4.703.

http://www.axis-and-allies-paintworks.com/e107_plugins/download/download.php?action=view&id=1009

 

Update 4.703 changed the times of dawn and dusk, which required adjustments to some of the missions.

[Juri_JS]

The 5.001 update has partially messed up the skin assignment in the campaign so an update was necessary:

Would it be possible to update this and your existing campaign skins to 4K textures?

Unlikely, at the moment I don't have much time for working on skins.

[Juri_JS]

The latest update once again broke the skin assignment, so an update of the campaign was necessary:

I just finished this one this weekend and it was really good. Very good background story that helps to support the sense of drama of being encircled and mostly doomed... yet one of the lucky ones who can actually fly out of there.

[SCG_Neun]

I'm enjoying this one Juri_JS, great immersion and story line!

[Ulricus]

@Juri_JS,

Big thx for this campaign. Diary entries support the story line and eased the way to immersion.

It was real fun to play it  and here's a screen shot - Back in Pitomnik
