This mission is about a bomber intercept that took place on the 2nd of March, 1945. The III.JG/301 took off with a dozen of Ta 152 and another dozen of FW 190 A8 and A9. On this mission the Ta 152 pilots were ordered to focus on the Mustangs escorts. Unfortunately, as the Ta 152 was a new fighter, some Bf 109 of the JG 301 misidentified the Ta 152 formation and opened fire on them, preventing the Ta 152 to meet the ennemy (there were no losses for the Ta 152, contrary to the other formations that took off that day which suffered heavy losses). You will lead your flight of Ta 152 and this time show what this plane is capable of!
In this mission, for the German side I am using the fantastic Ta 152 H-1 by Captain Kurt. This plane looks so good my first ETO mission had to be with this one. I am also using some planes by Team Daedalus Bf109G10 16.JG301, FW190A-8R2 JG301 and FW190A-9 JG301, FW190 D9 5JG301, they are also really good, can't recommend them enough.
For the US I am using exclusively Allen's planes, his B-17G, his B-24J and his P-51D. I am doing it this way in order to not have too many different planes and for performance issues/limitations on my end, I still remember the disaster I encountered when I tried to use Ghostrider/Gnoopey B-29 in one of my PTO mission... I would suggest changing the planes for the US side with B-17s from FDGv2 or P-51s by Alphasim or AcWai for example, in order to have more variety in skins, planes behavior, payload options etc. For my next missions I think I will stick to this method.
I made a ETO install by stricly using Rami's ETO installation guide, really detailled and easy to follow.
For sceneries I will list everything I am currently using in my ETO install, so you will have everything ready for my next missions.
There are quite a download to do for objects but follow the readme files of the different sceneries and you should be set, everything should be available in the CFS 2 Library Objects section here at SOH https://sim-outhouse.org/sohforums/resources/categories/cfs-2-library-objects.227/
I will put some links to I think most of the things needed for a ETO install and some that I may use in my missions (sceneries, scenery objects and vehicles).
I am using some objects by Wolfi, Xavierb and maybe some default ones for the target of the bombers. I am also using some vehicles by Captain Kurt from his Luftwaffe airfield vehicles pack.
Thanks again to Cody Coyote for his Mission Building Handbook.
Thanks to all the creators of every objects, vehicles, aircrafts, skins, scenery etc used in this mission, I hope I didn't forget someone and that I was clear enough in this readme. Please see the readme of the different downloads.
I tried to make this mission accurate, historical and enjoyable as much as possible but it is certainly far from perfect so feel free to modify or change anything and everything in this mission. Don't hesitate to leave your feedbacks, advices, rants or anything you would see fit too.
This mission is freeware and should be available only on sim-outhouse.org.
