MiGMan's Combat diary: My first campaign in Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3 (2002)
| Mission type | Aircraft flown | Starting Location | Date | Time | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anti-Ship | Typhoon IB | Eastchurch, UK | 3/11/43 | 0630 | I had to refly this 3 times.. read about it here
The blast radius of a 1,000 lb bomb is apparently greater than 1,000 feet... |
| Anti-Ship | Typhoon IB | Eastchurch, UK | 3/11/43 | 0745 | I chose to keep at ship busting .. because it's fun !
|
| Combat Air Patrol | Typhoon IB | Eastchurch, UK | 3/11/43 | 0830 | A change of pace - Messerschmidt BF-109's turned up to play. |
| Anti-Ship | Typhoon IB | Eastchurch, UK | 3/11/43 | 0945 | My right aileron control cable was damaged by a wingman as we both strafed a ship. It was my fault.... I flew through the path of his rocket attack. On the way back to base trim control was difficult and I nosed over on landing. Try again. |
| Anti-Ship | Typhoon IB | Eastchurch, UK | 3/11/43 | 1033 | Second attempt. This time - if the plane gets wobbly I'll bail out!
Hmmm... famous last words. This time it wasn't my wingman or my
erratic flying but the heavy FLAK which got me.
At least I survived the mission. Mission ended at 1044. |
| Combat Air Patrol | Typhoon IB | Eastchurch, UK | 3/16/43 | 1111 | This CAP was over friendly territory - right over my home base in fact.
A flock of Ju-88's were atacking - I shot down one and landed slightly damaged
amongst smoking wreckage and a crumpled hangar.
|
| Strike | Typhoon IB | Eastchurch, UK | 3/21/43 | 1150 | Strike Bridges on the French coast, 61 miles, just North of the proposed
invasion zone at Calais.
Got the bridges... then went hunting for vehicles.... 
He he he .... I got a little too cocky after decimating a convoy of vehicles. I don't know exactly how low I was flying but it was below the tree tops and I was following the road. Must have clipped a wingtip and I crashed and burned. 
Oh yeah... that's low! On my second attempt we got the bridge, attacked a convoy - blowing a bridge first so half the convoy was trapped. Then on the way back to the coast I buzzed an enemy airfield, attempting to strafe the control tower (I missed). As we reached the French coast again I noticed coastal defences near our invasion zone... I'll go for them next time. 11:50 - Mission begun 12:06 - Destroyed ground unit - Kubelwagen 12:07 - Destroyed ground unit. Gas truck 12:09 - Destroyed ground unit - Wirbelwind 12:26 - Mission ended |
