More battle re-creations! On April 2nd, 1942, Karun "Jumbo" Krishna Majumdar took off on a solo mission to attack the IJAAF airbase at Mae Hong Son. Escorted by two Brewster Buffalos of RAF No. 67 Squadron, Majumdar successfully destroyed the hanger, some aircraft, and damaged the airfield. The next day he led the entire contingent of No. 1 Squadron's Westland Lysanders on another raid. This is where you come in in the game.
I don't know why flight action games insist on jamming turret segments into their games. I don't think I've ever enjoyed one of them. The same is true for this mission, which unfortunately insists on jamming you into the gunner's seat of the Lysander for the start of the battle. Once that static bit is past, though, it's back to actually flying, and getting stuff done. Aside from the turret bit, this is a pretty fun mission. The Lysander is no dogfighter, but with FTSOC's relaxed take on reality, it can manage okay against the Ki-27s of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force.
