For offline flyers (like me!)
 
Heinkills huge Operation Sealion project has been now completed. It is flown from either LW or RAF point view. I am flying from LW PoV...sorry Tommies?!

I am enjoying the briefings as much as the missions - real sense of history being remade - I like seeing Churchill squirm...sorry again.

There are all possible mission types - intercepts, combat patrols, ground attacks, escorts, supply, level bombing, dive bombing, shipping attacks, takeoffs and landings, trainings, night flying, race against the clock, anti tank, anti train, it seems endless! And level of detail is CRAZY.

Until finally, after eight days of fighting and with the front lines just 60 miles from London, Churchill gives order to Bomber Command to carpet bomb Canterbury and 'to destroy utterly, the will of German troops there to resist' - and thereby seals the outcome of the invasion.

+1 :)


EDIT. Oops, never mind, I missed addman's post.

planespotter 04-07-2012 08:25 AM

Does anyone know how tos keep some of the Map mods in these missions into the standard map? Like I want to keep the build of Folkestone port, with wharves etc, which is completely missing on the 1C map. Also the objects at the airfields Manston, Hawkinge, Lympne, Calais, Le Havre, Peuplinge, I want to keep those, and the shipping at Calais. And Canterbury Cathedral even though it seems it is Winchester at least it puts a Cathedral in the right place at Canterbury which the 1C map does not.

Is there a way?

planespotter 04-07-2012 03:07 PM

Also, HK, if you see this thread (I have also posted at SIMHQ) can you pls post copies of any object groups you have saved, like ships, airfields, flak, camps etc these would be very useful.
