This was supposed to be another straightforward mission but once again I overcooked the AtA load outs on the two Crusaders, which turned out to be superfluous, while the AtG load out wasn't enough to do the job properly. In the strike mission on a truck park, the four aircraft went in low to avoid the SA-2's but were hit by AAA on the first event card and by MiG's on the second, although I was able to cancel the second attack using a Sidewinder. The attack went in and the truck park was destroyed but not before one of the Skyhawks was shot down by AAA, with the pilot - callsign Backfire - now MIA. The stress factor wasn't too bad, as it was a mission in Route Pack 4 but still enough to give one pilot 5 stress points, even after adjustment in the debrief. I gained another 3VP's as well, making it a worthwhile mission and putting me on track for a decent campaign result. Luckily, the rest of the squadron have recovered enough to be fully fit for duty, ready for the next mission, a strike on a VC troop concentration in Route Pack 2.
