Eastern Front KG51 Ju88 Campaign Status 23.08.1941 / 03 missions

[kraut1]

 

Hi,

I am one of the impatient fighter pilots who normally never fly bomber careers / campaigns.
But I have read some 35 years ago the book by P.W.Stahl about his KG30 Ju88 missions and his other book about KG200 and so I know that in many situations the Ju88 pilots acted as real individualists, not only strictly flying in big formation.

Motivated by by discussion started by @jokash (thanks very much for the idea!)
I have started to create missions for a KG51 campaign with focus on real short range tactical combat missions beginning in the early stages of the Siege of Odessa.

It will be for me something like a test campaign to learn which type of Ju88 missions I like and which maybe not. And I have to learn to operate  the complex technical features of the Ju88.
The frontlines and dates are semi historical, but not the individual missions.
I assume a medium rank like Leutnant or Oberleutnant to assign the pilot sometimes as flight leader and sometimes as wingman...
In late 1942 the pilot will transferred to another Kampfgeschwader at the eastern front or alternatively he will fly missions in Italy...

 

As it is usual for me for each mission the first flight is a real campaign combat mission and test at once.

New missions will be published from time to time.

But all missions will have the focus on short flight time of maximum 25...45minutes without time acceleration for a full mission from take off to landing.

All missions will be with installed german audio warnings by gunners / wingmen and ground observer plane sightings...

I have added the campaign already to "IL-2 Campaign Tracker and Service Record" by @Arrow_1974 to get some motivation and immersion by promotions, orders and logbook.
