"The German Sixth Army accomplished something in May 1944 that no other Wehrmacht force had been able to accomplish since late 1942:  it managed to penetrate a major Red Army bridgehead defense and destroyed or drove away most of the bridgehead's defenders.  Furthermore, the Sixth Army added insult to the 3rd Ukrainian Front's injury by doing so not once but twice against two Soviet bridgeheads in two separate locations."

At the Dnestr [Hs129] is a 12-mission single player scripted campaign in which the Player will fly the Hs 129 on the Odessa map.  Missions take place during April and May 1944, just after the Red Army has liberated Odessa and has pushed the Axis armies back, all the way to the Dnestr River.  Here, the Axis put up a strong defense while the Soviets try to expand bridgeheads across the river.

In this scenario, a small detachment of Romanian Hs 129s uses forward airfields in the Kishinev area to attack the enemy at the Dnestr River.  Friendly fighters fly ahead to clear the skies so that the vulnerable Hs 129s can do their dirty work.  They fly at very low level to avoid detection.  Takeoff in this plane can be difficult - use the Autopilot, if necessary.  

*Notes:  You MUST HAVE the Odessa and Leningrad module for the ODESSA MAP and the Hs 129 Collector Plane.

A mission automatically becomes successful a few seconds after the Player takes off from the airfield.

Missions start on the runway with engines running.

Mission descriptions are in English-only, sorry.

Here's a MOD to have Romanian language to replace the German (not necessary but nice to have)...

Soon, I will also be adding some single-player AIRSTART missions (of these same campaign missions) to get into the action quickly.

If you are new to the Hs 129 here are some helpful videos:

Bombing takes practice but the techniques in this video really help to understand how it's done:
