Maybe it was hard cause it was arcade mode. I checked it in sim mode - and I didn't shoot down any fighters at all. I did hit one - from pretty far away. On the way back. The fighters are too fast to catch, and they take turns darting in so I stopped chasing them and just flew with the il-2's and it was mission complete.

I thought about turning to escort the second wave, but then I figured orders were probably to stay with the yellow ones. Maybe they get attacked if you leave them.

They didn't even get any sturmoviks, I had all 16 at the end. The sturmoviks did get some of them though. Try it on sim mode

My take on the he-162 is it's a great way for other pilots to get confirmed kills. It was made to asplode
Niet, the mission takes place above cloud level, so no weather to worry about. And no IL-2's to speak of, all La-7's and IL-4's. This is the mission that no one else could find info on (Took me friggin long enough to scrape by it).

Give me a video of someone beating it with 16 IL-4's left, and I swear I'll find you a $20 PSN card. Not your style, then 1600MS Points. I was happy to make it at all. Downtown Berlin is the mission.

yeah, that's what I meant by bad weather. I didn't pay attention to the bombers before, I don't have an il-4 so I didn't recognize them.

Before I ended up with 16 and didn't even hit one enemy... so I went ahead and tried to make a video, and this time, all 16 got to the target while I flew around above them, and most of the way back, and then one german plane sneaked up out of nowhere and shot one down.

Next time they got one on the way back again.

So I stopped ignoring them and started trying to shoot them down instead... the more I attacked them, the more bombers they shot down.

So then I started attacking them better, and trying to tell my wingmen to attack at the right time... and the better I attacked them, the more bombers they shot down.

This mission is a luck mission like Free Hunt, where you win if your wingmen do their job and lose if they don't. It doesn't matter what you do, you can't cover all the attackers, and if your wingmen miss theirs, they will rampage through the formation tearing the il-4's to pieces.
