St. Mihiel Salient, June 1918
In June 1918, American pilots were flying Nieuport 28 scouts from Gengoult, near Toul. Their sector was the relatively quiet front near St. Mihiel. After the move of Jasta 18 to the area and the introduction of the Fokker D7, the intensity of fighting increased.
Date: June 5, 1918
Mission Objective:
Each side needs to accomplish three important objectives. The side that completes all three objectives first will win the battle. See the map for the location of the target areas. Hover with your mouse over the target icon (in game) to see a description of the target.
To be successful on a photo-recon mission you need at least 10 photographs at 2500-3500m (10,000ft). To successfully direct your artillery fire you need to hover over the observation area at 2500 m for at least 6 minutes. The only plane that can make photos or do artillery spotting is the two-seater that is named likewise. Only one such plane (per side) can be in the air at any time. There are more two-seaters available for escort purposes. There is no particular order in which the targets should be accomplished.
Special notes:
When a side completes one of the objectives it will receive a small batch of new, more advanced aircraft (Fokker DVIIF for Central-, SPAD XIII for Allied side).
Weather: Clouds at 1250m, wind 3m/s from the north west.
