Oleg, please do not hesitate to include in to the objects in Battle of Britain some well done special chairs, so called lounge, or chaise-longue. We often have seen them in to the documentary films, with pilots resting over them. Without them, I belive the Battle of Britain would be lost. Total pilot fatigue is equal to certain death in to the air combat.
Thanks!

Don't forget the obligatory wind-up record player and the Squadron 'mutt' while you're at it :wink:

The squadron dog is a MUST HAVE! I have been known to tell the guys to make sure and feed my dog as I am going down in flames.
Don't be surprised if Oleg throws a couple nice objects in for us though.

Too funny...

It always amazes me that regardless of what is actually needed there are always requests for other stuff.

The old Rowan's BOB has sheep. Baaaaaaaa

They say a trained sheep will wag his tail and lay at your feet like a dog, if you treat him as a best friend. Where I come from that kind of sheep buddy arrangement would cause people "to talk".:rolleyes:

Yes, please include dogs that we can strafe!

Seriously though, small "useless" details like that really adds to the immersion - like dolphins in a submarine sim etc. The seagulls in Crysis are really useless from a gaming prespective - but they add to the atmosphere that you are on a real island and not a buch of polygons plastered with textures... There is already talk about double deckers so I guess Oleg has some of that coming!

I remember Fighter Squadron from Activision, where someone had modelled a flying cow droping bombs from her "a**hole" with the bomb bay beeing her tail going up and down.... And she had MK108s in her horns.... And her engine sound was undescriptible.

WAAF stands for Womens Auxilliary Air Force. In the battle of Britain movie of 1969 they're the girls who're placing the plots on boards. Susannah York, the blonde actress, plays a high ranking one. They were probably the only women on the airfield when pilots were on duty.

Thanks JaVA_Sharp :wink: Yes, the WAAF's certainly kept the pilots eyes occupied when stood down :lol:

About the sig: This is from Jeffrey Watson's biography on Clive Caldwell, Australia's greatest fighter pilot.

Barely a year before Japan's attack on Pearl Harbour, the Australian Government had tried to place an order for Japanese combat aircraft to replace it's ageing fleet - in Nov. 1940, Britain and the US weren't in a position to supply ANY aircraft to Australia - and Japan at the time was importing a lot of iron ore from here. The agreed price for the 40 zeros was valued at 500,000 pounds (Aust.), but the exchange was going to take place in export products (ie. different types of iron/steel).

It was because of this that Australia's Prime Minister at the time (Bob Menzies) received the name "Pig Iron Bob"

Anyway off topic, but an interesting "what if"...
