An extensive update of a mission I posted previously: Traded unrealistic bombs for actual rockets, used the new weather features to provide the actual snow storm. Excellent Banff Mossie skins are now available at User Files: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3328061/ and https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3328060/

A raid in bad weather to sink a German ship carrying a huge cargo of coke, an essential material used in the manufacture of steel. The raid was led by Wing Commander Jean Maurice Guedj, a French pilot on his 150th combat mission of the war.

The Banff Strike Wing was unaware that two squadrons of FW-190A8s had very recently been moved to a Luftwaffe airfield close to Leirvik. The RAF did not earmark any Mosquitos for high cover and they had no escort. The FWs responded to the RAF raid and the result was the second largest air battle of the war over Norway.
