Good
morning!
Today we have a supply base for submarines as a
target. The base itself is not significant in size, but it's located at strategic
area, near our convoy routes and has been pain in navy's butt for some
time.
The main goal is not to wipe out the entire base - we don't have enough resources for
that. There are two buildings to be destroyed instead:
1. A maintenance hall and 2. a storage
building. (they are marked into aerial photo which was taken
yesterday, see below).
In these two buildings Germans have stored torpedoes and ammunitions for
subs. By destroying these we can cause enough damage to that base to keep it out of order for some
time.
The base is located in a
bay. On the western shore there are mainly insignificant storage buildings but the operational part is located on the eastern
shore.
Target number one, the maintenance hall, is a long hall in North-South direction on the North-East corner of the
base. Target number two is the Northern end of a long building near a factory located at
South. There is a long pier sticking out from its corner as a
landmark.
Now, we've just received an information that a single Condor is heading to the island without
escort. We also have a reason to believe, that there is the commander of submarine fleet onboard that plane on his way to perform an inspection in that
base. It's not possible to stop that plane before its
destination, but if we hurry we can take some advantage of the
situation.
We know that the Germans are unwilling to use their AA-fire while friendly aircrafts are in the
area. Also, unless they send fighters to cover his landing in
advance, those fighters will stay on ground until that Condor is safely
landed. Both will give you more time to do the attack and then to get the heck out of
there.
This guest will be driven to base by car, so if you get the
opprtunity, try to eliminate him too. That is only a secondary
target, though.
Now, the resistance to be
expected...
As mentioned, the base has its own airfield on that
island, so sooner or later you will see enemy fighters. The AA-fire should be medium
level. They have several 88's but only a couple of short-range
guns. But don't forget that the submarines and ships have their own AA-weapons so it's impossible to say at this
moment, how much firepower there is waiting for you.
Ok, fellows. Go to blow up a base and good
luck!
