This is from a 45 minute multiplayer mission last night. I flew alone and came into contact with numerous enemies. I did not hit any, but I like to think I gave them a run for their money - in that they did not get me either. Although it was a fun mission alone, I'd love to hear from any IL2 BoX pilots in NZ, or anybody who flies NZ evening hours (my evenings coincide with Fiji, Samoa etc and a desolate part of Russia) - for some comms teamwork.

I was not surprised to meet numerous axis enemies at high altitude:




Some cat & mouse - I thought I was being chased home by a 190 who I had annoyed and I was desperately trying to hide in the clouds. I watched the replay and laughed when I discovered it was a wounded La5 trying to get home also.


Made it. Not a bad landing, if I may say so myself.


I pull off the runway, open the cockpit and consider my RTB a success.
