Tempest vs Messerschmitt – a mission by DFLion

This is another historic mission created from a chapter from Pierre Closterman's book ‘The Big Show’. Watch out for ‘The Hun in the Sun’ and as Clostermann says in his briefing, keep your Tempest speed high in a dogfight and use your 4 x 20mm cannon’s sparingly or you will soon run out of ammo. If you are in close to an enemy fighter, it doesn’t take many 20mm rounds to knock it out!

I have requested from our wonderful skinners, that RAF 3 Sqn 122 Wing skins be posted again, if possible, for us all to use in this Mission.

Good Luck.

I've added shots using the new skins, thanks Skinners.

All these missions are really great!

 

Don't you consider making a SP campaign with all the missions together?

[DFLion]

Hi DN308,

Thanks for your appreciation. I am starting to get the grips on the mission maker with all these single missions, though I still have a lot to learn. I will be working on putting a campaign together, probably using the 'Big Show' missions. If you have the original IL2 Sturmovick flight sim, I produced a 52 mission campaign following Pierre Clostermann's career in the RAF using his book 'The Big Show' for reference. I got permission from his family to use the name 'The Big Show'. This Campaign went viral with hundreds of downloads and it was even translated into French with many more downloads. You should be able to still find it on 'Mission 4 Today' website.

The new IL2 Sturmovik 'Great Battles' flight sim is certainly a much more authentic environment for making these historical missions and I am looking forward to the 'Battle of Normandy' Map which will link in very well with the 'Bodenplatte' map.

I already have and fly it on the original version.

 

What a great job you've done!!!

Hi DF Lion. Just made a new episode using your mission 'Tempests vs Messerschmitts', cool mission and true to the book. I will be using your other Big Show missions 'Train Busting' and 'Tempests over Remagen' if that is ok with you? Please keep making more.

Thanks Lemsip,

great video of 'Tempest vs Messerschmitt' I will look forward to seeing your next videos. These video's you are making really brings home the life of those RAF and Luftwaffe pilots flying their Tempest's and Messerschmitt's in 1944/45. Quite a few of them sadly didn't last very long. Though there is some controversy regarding the missions Pierre Clostermann describes in his book 'The Big Show' he still superbly describes the action in each mission, sometimes you feel that you are there flying with him.

To make all this possible, we must thank Jason and the IL2 Sturmovik Great Battles teams.

Keep up the good work.

Hi @DFLion,

I just finished Clostermann's book and was glad to find your missions.

Curious if you've thought about a mini-campaign?  Or even a sequential numbered mission pack?

Would be cool to relive the story again in chronological order.

Cheers

Thanks for the missions.  What about that last one in his book, when he drops out of the clouds into a big furball and shoots some transports leaving on the deck I believe.
