yep. Not here to bitch this time. I finally got pretty much what i wanted to happen, to happen!

After changing planes

Bomber from Mossie>p38>lanc

and changing flak killer from Typhoon>p47>p38>typoon>p51

and changing the start runways for each of them at eastbourne air base i don't know how many times.

And changing speeds and waypoints.

And the damage lever I wanted done to the town.

And the placement of the flak and the run against it.

I finally got what i want to happen, happening.

Pretty much. I can't get AI to rocket attack but i do have a compromise that i can live with.

THis is all i wanted.

I wanted a set of 2 planes to bomb a town.

that was protected by 1 flak panzer and had a klaxon.

Then i wanted 2 more planes to come in early and take out said flak (with rockets cause thats what I would use) to clear the way for the bombers.

Can you belive it was that hard? INSANE
Oh yeah and I wanted both squads of planes to take off from the same feild.

What happened.

well thats what happens except i had to make the fighters bomb the flak since thats the only way they can hit anything.

The reason it took me alot of trys with different fighters was cause i wanted rocket attack at first and then i wanted a bombing run BUT on a plane with rockets cause online i figured people would rather do that.

Sound easy eh? Well tiffie has no rocket/bombs loadout. So I took the p47 in ground pounder mode.

welp it seems the p47 can't get off eastbourne in ground pounder loadout.

So changed to the p38 and guess what? Even though i had the way point set to bomb it decided to rocket attack. and of course missed.

Lovely.

So I switched to the P51 and no it didn't go smooth as pie. Nope I'm never that lucky. It blew itself apart cause it just happens I had it goign in at 1000' so as not to raise the attention of the germans maning the gun and air raid siren. SOooo

I put it up at 2000' right before it starts the bomb run and it got taken out by flak before it got to release point.

Well... Its all cool cause I put 2 in cause i figured that might happen. And the second one actuallly dropped (to my astonishment)

and took it out great.

then the lancs come in shortly after and decimate the town.

mission won message pops up

and i'm happy cause I only lost one p51, AND i figure that makes it interesting.

--------------------------------

SOooo

now the plan is to add some german fighters to try and defend the town.

There targets shall be the bombers ( I can hope right? they are the mission objective so they should see them as a prioraty)

AND i want to send those P51s on Cap over the town until the Lancs are on the way home. to try and take down the germans.

What do you guys think the chances of that coming off nicly are?

LOL

Thanks for all the helps guys, and tune in again for another bitch fest later this after noon after i get some sleep.

We shall know how hard it is by the end of the night

I'm planning on starting back to work in around an hour.

I was up all night and just woke up after sleep break.

My hands were so tired from typing that they wouldn't do what i wanted them to do anymore and the muscle on the outside of my right hand was in some major pain from hitting enter with my right pinky.

I'm goign to have to pace myself.
