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!!!
2nd Guards Fighter Air Regiment, September 1, 1943
Mission: You are on high-altitude patrol near Guriyskaya. You spot three flights of heavy bombers at 12 o'clock and order your flight to attack. Good luck!!
Debrief: Major 'V' downs 7 Luftwaffe heavy bombers in his first mission with 2nd GFAR!! Ace in a Day!!
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!'.
