La 5FN: 9 kills, Bomber Intercept near Saratovskaya | IL-2 WW2 Air Combat Flight Sim

2nd Guards Fighter Air Regiment, September 2, 1943
Mission: Intercept a large raid approaching Saratovskaya. Your wingmen will engage escort fighters while you focus on the bombers. Good luck!!
Debrief: Major 'V' downs 9 Luftwaffe heavy bombers in this mission with 2nd GFAR. Ace in a Day!! He now has 16 career aerial victories and receives the Order of the Red Star!

These kills were made during one mission created by the Pat Wilson Campaign Generator using the 'Bodenplatte map' for a September 1944 German fighter pilot career. PWCG is a mod that generates dynamic pilot campaigns for the IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles series (Battle of Stalingrad, Battle of Moscow, Battle of Kuban, Battle of Normandy and Battle of Bodenplatte). I don't think there are any dynamic WW2 campaign generators for DCS World?

The enemy AI in a PWCG mission is randomly generated for each NPC to be either Novice, Average, Veteran or Ace. This specific pilot campaign is set to 'veteran' with a 40% chance of any AI encountered during the mission being Ace-level. The Ace AI NPCs are deadly shots and I usually find myself KIA before I even know one is close! The gist of it is, this is NOT set to 'Hold my hand Daddy/Easy' level. It's closer to 'Hurt Me Plenty/Hardcore' level but not quite 'Nightmare!'.

The Lavochkin La-5 was a successful Soviet WW2 fighter designed by Vladimir Gorbunov. The definitive FN variant was introduced during June 1943. It had a fuel injected, two-speed supercharged engine capable of 1,850 HP at sea level, however, engine management was complex. Below 3,000m, it could out-climb and out-turn an FW 190 A8. With 2 x 20mm cannons mounted in the cowl it could cause considerable damage, delivering a salvo weight of 3.4kg/s!!!
