Velikie Luki Sturmovik mission pack

[CzechTexan]

Pack of 9 single player anti-armor missions flying the IL-2 1942 model in the Velikie Luki region, April-June 1942.
No Takeoffs! get in, hit hard, get out, make a landing if you choose.

This is my first set of created missions for the Great Battles series. I do not like takeoffs and long boring flights to the target just so I can get shot down or have to RTB all shot up, and then start all over. So, I used the Easy Mission Generator by Syn_Vander, changed some targets around and added more tanks, etc. to my liking.

All these missions are AIRSTART and are designed to get to the action quick. All missions use the Dvinye airfield - if you choose to try and make it back to base.

All missions are anti-armor missions. I like to use the 23mm armor piercing (blue) cannon plus 6x100kg bombs but you can choose whichever package you like.  You will fly in the #3 (last) position in all missions.

Historically, after the Germans were pushed back from Moscow during the Winter 1941-42, the front line at Velikie Luki was stable until the next winter.
These missions are non-historical but they portray what could have been happening during that time period (although I'm pretty sure the Germans did not have that many tanks there).
The Velikie Luki map is very nice!

Glad to see you've started to make content for IL-2: Great Battles.  I really enjoyed your missions and campaigns in the old IL-2: 1946.

Thank you Czechtexan

I love your 1946 campaigns and I am happy that you apply your skill to the BoX serie

Thanks for the praise but this new Mission Builder program is difficult to learn and more time consuming than the old 1946 FMB.

 

I'll be using the Easy Mission Generator as the base for any future missions because the EMG just makes it easier.

I agree, the Mission Builder is a nightmare and the elarning curve is very stiff

I gave up trying to make missions, no time to learn (real life ...)

Same here and I'm sure there are many others with limited free time.  That's why I prefer AIRSTART missions that allow the pilot to get to the action quick.  I hope people like it that way because all of my future missions will be Airstarts.

Hi

 

Is it normal that in first and second missions, Il2 only have internal weapons (ie : no bombs or rockets ?)

ie : not only player's but also Wingmen ?

 

Thank you in advance

 

Edit : anyway, I used taurus'EMA to update the payloads for Il2s as you suggested in your first post

 

I am also changing the Il2 to Pe2, but this is for fun !
