OK. I was in a really foul mood last night when my team lost in the NCAA tournament and I went out and did this. See if you can take a P-51c and hit the Tirpitz with bombs.
Enjoy,
Rick

Name Sink the Tirpitz(bombs)
Short \u0020 The Tirpitz was sunk in November of 1944. The British had chased the Tirpitz through out the war and finally, in late 44, the Tirpitz was caught and bombed by Lancaster bombers killing over 900 crewman when she sank along the coast of Norway. \n
Description \u0020 The Tirpitz was the sister ship of the Bismarck which was also sunk by the British. Both ships hull weights were approximately 44,000 + tons. The Tirpitz fired on Allied ships only once during her career and never caused any serious damage although the British and Allies diverted many resources in the pursuit of the Tirpitz. Germany's failure at using its powerful ships well in nautical warfare would prove to be one of its biggest blunders of the war and a great boost to Allied moral during the early days of the war when the Bismarck was sunk and later when the Tirpitz was bombed and sunk. Over the last three months before the Tirpitz was destroyed the British sent 28, 38 and 32 bombers after her. Lancasters finally wounded her with "Tall Boys", some of the largest bombs being used at the time, off the coast of Norway and only a hundred yards or so from the shore. She then rolled over and that was where the Tirpitz laid until she was salvaged for the steel after WW2.\n One other footnote to the Tirpitz legacy - she was the first ship to use radar to fire upon another ship.\n\nMission note: As most know there is no way as of right now to produce a completely historical mission based on the events that took place in November of 1944. Over the months there were all kinds of aircraft - including Spitfires and Bf 109s - that were involved in the massive manhunt for the Tirpitz. I've made a mission that is fictional history (semi-historic) with the resources available within the Sim. I have set up static cameras where the ship battle can be watched if the pilot wants to pause or auto-pilot and watch it all play out. In the last 5 replays I tried the Allies have yet to sink the Tirpitz but on two ocassions the Tirpitz went limping off and listing to port or starboard badly.\n\nYou are in a P-51c NT with bombs. Bf 109G2 and G6 as well as Fw 190 A5s are about. Protect the bombers and attacked Tirpitz, if possible.\n\nEnjoy,\nCaptBackasswards\n

Name Sink the Tirpitz(bombs)
Short \u0020 The Tirpitz was sunk in November of 1944. The British had chased the Tirpitz through out the war and finally, in late 44, the Tirpitz was caught and bombed by Lancaster bombers killing over 900 crewman when she sank along the coast of Norway. \n
Description \u0020 The Tirpitz was the sister ship of the Bismarck which was also sunk by the British. Both ships hull weights were approximately 44,000 + tons. The Tirpitz fired on Allied ships only once during her career and never caused any serious damage although the British and Allies diverted many resources in the pursuit of the Tirpitz. Germany's failure at using its powerful ships well in nautical warfare would prove to be one of its biggest blunders of the war and a great boost to Allied moral during the early days of the war when the Bismarck was sunk and later when the Tirpitz was bombed and sunk. Over the last three months before the Tirpitz was destroyed the British sent 28, 38 and 32 bombers after her. Lancasters finally wounded her with "Tall Boys", some of the largest bombs being used at the time, off the coast of Norway and only a hundred yards or so from the shore. She then rolled over and that was where the Tirpitz laid until she was salvaged for the steel after WW2.\n One other footnote to the Tirpitz legacy - she was the first ship to use radar to fire upon another ship.\n\nMission note: As most know there is no way as of right now to produce a completely historical mission based on the events that took place in November of 1944. Over the months there were all kinds of aircraft - including Spitfires and Bf 109s - that were involved in the massive manhunt for the Tirpitz. I've made a mission that is fictional history (semi-historic) with the resources available within the Sim. I have set up static cameras where the ship battle can be watched if the pilot wants to pause or auto-pilot and watch it all play out. In the last 5 replays I tried the Allies have yet to sink the Tirpitz but on two ocassions the Tirpitz went limping off and listing to port or starboard badly.\n\nYou are in a P-51c NT with bombs. Bf 109G2 and G6 as well as Fw 190 A5s are about. Protect the bombers and attacked Tirpitz, if possible.\n\nEnjoy,\nCaptBackasswards\n

I've gotten pretty good at skip-bombing.
Come in fast at 100 meters, dip down to 50 meters, release, and break up and left (or right) to avoid blast damage.
With a little practice, you can get good at it.
With the Tirpitz, I guess you would need lots of planes and maybe some enemy ships to help draw off some of the murderous flak. I doubt one plane would get anywhere near that ship.

I'll give it a try. I usually just do the old fashion drop'em and duck and hope for the best. Problem is: the Tirpitz is hard to damage. There are 16 B 17s dropping bombs and ocassionally one might hit the battleship. I even dropped the bombers altitude down to 2500 to improve there accuracy and it helped a little.
