Il-2 Cliffs of Dover - Tools & Maps
Hellfire Corner - August 1940 Victory in France is ours. Now we must turn our attention to Britain. A semi-historic mission based on events in early August 1940. The aircraft set is historic with radar for red to detect large formations through the Mission menu (Tab-4). You'll want to connect to the Luton (Ash) station before requesting a report. Blue AI bombers will spawn periodically to attack red targets in order to advance the mission. Bf 109 E1B/E3B/E4B do not have access to 50kg bombs, only 250kg. Mission length is 4 hours. Special thanks to ATAG_Bliss for scripting/hosting, 5./JG27 Vogler for support, & FG_Kodiak/No.401 Wolverine for radar. Briefing Luftwaffe Bf 109 / Bf 110 Orders Establish air superiority over South-East England. Escort our bombers as they attack enemy shipping and airbases. Enlist with Erprobungsgruppe 210 out of Calais-Marck and fly fighter-bombers against the targets listed below. Note there is a shortage among 50kg bombs and priority has been given to the Kampfgruppen. Ju 87 / Ju 88 / He 111 / Erpr.Gr.210 Orders Note: 40 points required to win mission. Ships & Chain Home sites are worth 1 pt each. Airfields are worth 10.
Destroy English shipping in the Channel. Our Freya unit at Cap Gris Nez has detected enemy shipping sailing from Dover (AX23) towards Dungeness (AV20). Put these ships on the bottom of the Channel.
The British have setup large radio masts along their coastline that we believe is a primitive form of aircraft detection. Destroy the installations at Dover (AX 23-9).
Destroy the installations at Dunkirk (AU 25-3). Focus your attack on the buildings at the base of the towers.
Destroy the RAF airbases at Manston (AX 26-3)
Destroy the RAF airbases at Hawkinge (AW 23-5)
Destroy the RAF airbases at Lympne (AV 23-2)
Destroy the RAF airbases Eastchurch (AU 26-5)
