Dear All,
I have had CloD for some time now but have only played offline. today I had a play with the mission builder and thought that I would try to recreate the scene in BoB where a group of Spitfires are "Bounced" by 109's and poor old Canfield buys it. I played around with the settings and rapidly discovered why most fighter pilots in BoB were in their late teens or early 20's and not over 60 like me. I found that it was virtually impossible for me to see the German fighters coming in and only saw them as they flashed by and the chap next to me blew up. The sun blinds you, the clouds (and ice) make it far worse and after several attempts to survive which I managed twice, after at least 10 attempts the second time was with a burning spluttering engine and a crash landing at Manston (and an extremely dry throat!!).
All I can say is if those men went up day after day facing that they were better men than I and I will always be gratefull for their sacrifice. At that moment I said in my mind.........."They just fell on us.....they got my number two........and the CO"!!!
Given time, this game I am sure will grow into a masterpiece if it is'nt already
The poor bastards!
Best regards,
Pike.
