Note for future Sim updates:  Whenever Great Battles is updated, mission files get broken and must be updated, again and again, rendering them unplayable.  In order to fix the missions, open the IL-2 Sturmovik Mission Editor... in the TOOLS dropdown list, choose "Resave All Missions in Folder" and navigate to the Campaigns and/or Missions folder in your computer (IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles/data/Campaigns) and click "OK".  So, if you can't get missions to work, try the above method to fix them.

This is a pack of 5 missions for single-player use.  The Player leads a flight of Peshka dive-bombers to destroy targets in the Rzhev-Sychevka sector which is still held by the Germans after the Soviet Winter Counteroffensive after the Battle of Moscow.  The time period is March 1942.

 

Notes:  This was my first experiment with this dive bomber.  There were many test flights to figure the best way to do the dive-bombing.  I did get some hints in the forums from other mission-builders about the dive-bombing problems - so, thanks to all those guys!

 

The A/I will drop two bombs on the target and keep the other two - so - I added a timer so that they will drop the two remaining bombs soon after dropping the first ones.  The bombers must also have a long distance between Initial point (waypoint #2) and the target.  If making your own missions... feel free to copy and paste these Pe-2 flights into your own mission.  It might save you some time!

Enjoy!
