Tempest 'Train Busting' Mission from DFLion

[DFLion]

Fly as Number 2 in a six plane Tempest Flight over the Rhine River to search for and destroy enemy trains. This Mission is 'Historical' taken out of Flt.Lt. Pierre Clostermann's (DFC) book the 'Big Show'.

I suggest you put your Tempest on autopilot while you are flying to the target area and take in the sound of six Napier Sabre IIA 24 cylinder engines - with 11lb boost. (Thank you Jason and the Team)

Watch out for the train flak and make sure you zigzag in and out of the target area. Also watch out for 'the bounce' from enemy aircraft.

You will need to have the Fw190D-9 Collector Plane to fly this Mission.

Unzip the Zip file and place the folder into the 'Mission Folder' in your game IL2 Surmovik, Great Battles.

I don't understand why it's necessary to have the Fw-190 collector plane, when the mission is for the Tempest?

 

Be a shame if that is always the case when missions are made - I only fly allied aircraft, so that's what I buy.

To confirm JD_LincsUK's remark in the previous post - you won't need the Fw-190 premium model to fly this mission as they only appear as AI in this mission.  You can't fly premium planes without buying them first, but you can shoot them out of the sky as enemy/AI!

Reply to JD_LincsUK and Mike2945. My understanding of being able to include the AI version of a specific aircraft in a mission is that you have to have that aircraft, in this case you have to purchase the collector plane FW190D-9 (long nose Focke Wulf). I may be wrong about this, I am on a steep learning curve at the moment creating these missions?

This mission is historic. If you read Pierre Closterman's book 'The Big Show' in the mission I created, his section of Tempests were 'bounced' by a large mixed formation of German Messerschmitts and Long nose Focke Wulfs.

One only needs to own the aircraft one if flying, and the game with the map. 

 

All players can fight all aircraft as AI. So anyone owning the Rhineland map (BoBP) and the Tempest can fly this!
