Mission Debriefing:As freelance pilot i was drop in the nr 1 plane by Redcoat as a joke.
The Poor Kg26 Commander dint like it buht he was to late to chance it , so we started the plane`s and i lead the formation from Schrunden Airbase till I/KG26_Alpha took over the lead.
As Madjeck reported i spotted 2 plane`s on 12 , i got the messige from Aircontrol that it most have been the 2 Ju52 transports.
Soon i spotted a singel smoking fighter on my 3 heading for home base , the poor pilot i hope he made it.
On grid T-22 just over the front line, Alpha spotted a singel tank and he gave I/Kg26_Diesel the command to atack it.
We head to riga wihtout spotting any more tanks or collums on the main road.
Alpha gave the command to split up in two groops and recon the aria West of Mittau and East off riga.
I had to Mittau as i was a the black sheep of the SQD , hehehehe.
Soon i spotted two tank collums near mittau at the nord side off the town.
Lucky me , the collums where just before a bridge so i call out fast a report of the position and nummbers , than i atack the first collum and hit two tanks.
On my second atack i waited till the last two tanks of the first collum where on the bridge , as i know that my SC50 were not able to harm a tank.
On that moment i dropt my two pairs on the last part of the bridge and i distroyd two more tanks.
Now it was the turn of the second tank collum.
I turn my plane and recon the situation , the Second collum was still moving to the bridge, so i turn my plane i to position for a second atack on the bridge.
I waited on the moment that the last tank drove on the bridge and i dive bomb the bridge and drop all my bombs on tha last collum.
I got tham all the blody stupped ivans , that learn tham to deal wiht the UberDutchman.
To my supprice my tailgunner call out that one tank escaped , huh how is that possible?
??.
He soon anser that the last tank was sinking in to the river , the tank most have driving from the bridge in to the river.
I turn my plane again and gave my gunner the order to shoot all tank personel that try to escape from there burning/sinking Hell.
On that moment i reported to Alpha that the tanks where distroyd and no need for support anymore.
He soon gave the order to proceed recon and i dint have to wait long.
Under my nose we spotted a supply collum and i reported that i was empty, So i supported I/Kg26_Madjack with his atack on that collum.
He distroyd it , exept one truck.
Madjeck me and alpha proceded the recon , in to the direction for home.
We dint spotted any more targets , and i slipt away to the west side near the cost , to recon the costal road , buht that was empty to.
So i Heading for home base and moments later we got a SOS from Aplha , He ran out off Fuel and had to glide in to the nearest base.
We followd him to safty and i was the last plane to land on Frauwenburg Lufwaffe Base.
Home of the Great JG2001 SQD.
I most report that the fighter boys diht had done a great job by making the target aria , clear off enamy fighters.
Now lets cut off riga from the Souht part before the end off the year.
Go for it.
