Thanks. This was Mission 1 from the "DCG Tobruk '41" Campaign. KlarSnow and myself have been flyin' on/off for a while but we've never really attempted an actual campaign. Our first mission was pretty intense. The low level haze made it difficult to see anything at ground level for more than a few hundred feet, which made landing an interesting exercise. And the sky was crawling w/ German Ace's. I'm surprised we made it home alive.
I love the P-40 (Tomahawk IIA). The majority of screenshots (which are all in-game and unedited) feature KlarSnow, but I managed to make it home w/ only one elevator which you can also see. The haze made it difficult for me to land and I didn't quite clear the runway when my landing gear malfunctioned upon impact. I didn't realize that the damage to my elevator was so complete 'til after we landed, which explained why I couldn't quite pull up enough and flare on landing.
I didn't get credit for any kills (I did however rain on more than a few parades), but KlarSnow was credited w/ 3 kills (all Ace's), and we made it home alive. Not too bad for our first mission...
