The Sinai Crisis was an invasion of Egypt and the Gaza Strip in late 1956 by Israel, the United Kingom and France. The aims of the UK and France were to regain control of the Suez Canal which Egypt controlled since July 26, 1956, when it was seized by Egypt from the French-British Suez Canal Company.
In October of 1956 operation Kadesh began and involved all of the air force's combat capable aircraft including the Mosquitos. While they weren't used much in the first couple of days of the war they did take part in numerous missions striking the Egyptian forces. In all the Mosquitos took on 74 combat sorties during the conflict, including the longest range mission to strike in Sharm El-Sheikh at the southern tip of Sinai. Shortly after the conflict all of the remaining piston engined aircraft in the Israeli air force were acknowledged as obsolete and subsequently either scrapped or sold with all Mosquitos being removed from the Israeli Air Force inventory by 1958.
Test experience: Never rush to attack. The plane is too vulnerable, mainly engine damage. Wait for the wingmen to confirm visual contact with the target! Then give the orders (Ch A) to "attack the ground targets". Sometimes it is necessary to enter a command for the wingman 2 separately (Ch C or A). Do not use the command "attack on primary target". Follow the actions of your wingmen and help them.
The navigator helps with navigation. Try to stick to the prescribed route and specified waypoints (WP) in briefing. The plane always has enough fuel for the mission in cruise mode, but sometimes it is recommended to use a weak mixture.The mosquito was valued for its long range, missions are inspired by real events and can last several hours (1-3hours).
All bombs are set to the same delay-information from the briefing, 1 or 11s. Wingmen always report bomb drops.
Follow the rules for takeoff and landing. The mission ends after parking at a predetermined location and it is not necessary to 100% complete mission objectives.
Known bug for all missions: Radio sometimes not working. After takeoff, test communication with wingmen (Ch A). If they don't respond, restart mission.
