Laon - Early 1917

This is another early 1917 mission. The plane set consist of DFW CV's, Albatros DII, Albatros DIIIs vs Nieuport 17 SPAD 7 and some RE 8s for ad-hoc bombing sorties. Units and skins are historical (thanks J.j.!) except the RE-8, which doesn't belong here.

The Central Powers are on the offensive. In preparation of their next "Push" there are 4 objectives that need to be accomplished before the day is over. These are:

1. Photo Recon over the Soissons train station. Photos need to be taken at at least 2500m. You need to land safely at your home aerodrome to complete this objective.

2. Artillery spotting to direct fire onto French field guns. Fly at 1750m so you have a good view of the enemy battery. The shoot will take about 6mins, so you need to hover over the designated area, see the map.

3. Disrupt enemy communications by destroying vehicles heading to the front. Destroy at least 10 vehicles.

4. Bomb the Army depot. Complete destruction is the goal. Because of heavy AAA, don't go in low but do a level bomb run from at least 2000m. You may need multiple bomb runs to destroy the target.

Note: Objectives 1 and 2 can only be accomplished (one at a time) by the special two-seater that is available in spawn point "Recon Plane".

It is advised that everyone has downloaded and installed the official skin pack + the community historical skinpacks.

We encourage all players to make use of the Teamspeak server so it's easy to work together, who will fly as leader? Which flight? etc. You can of course use your own teamspeak/ventrilo if you are already flying in a team.
