Heh, I just came back from doing a bombing mission - I went for the airfield south-west of calais (loaded 2x500lbs). My plan was to approach from the south, so I went from Littlestone (Blen's home airfield) to Le Touquet, proceeded eastwards and then set a northerly course towards Calais. Despite my beginner's level in Navigation, this worked surprisingly well!
Sadly, though, I must have done something wrong with my bombs... after releasing them, I circled repeatedly over the target and couldn't spot any explosion, smoke or something
. So there's still some educational work for me ^-^
After heading out to the channel, I somehow lost my elevator... it just didn't work anymore. But I got home and managed to land (a bit roughly) on my home airfield - after ending the mission, I could look at my plane via external view and I spotted several holes in the fuselage; just under the elevator and on both sides, so a flak must have gotten me.
It was quite fun tonight, so the next step is to figure out the bomb thingy and to start to communicate with the red guys on vent (I was on the server and thought they were all native english speakers, so I was a bit shy for today...
).
Cya next time ^-^
P.S.: Achieving good accuracy may be a major task as well with the blenheim. Perhaps there are really more blenny pilots to be found, so we can up our chances on a direct hit onto the runway
