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. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.ph...ml#Post3551718 I have copied his screenshots post: In-game screenies All key landmarks, targets and installations have been rebuilt and populated with appropriate objects. Ports, cities, and airfields on both sides of the Channel. Calais with invasion barges. The calm before the storm. ![]() British reserve encampments placed north of Killingwood Ridge, and at Denton, and dozens of other locations ![]() ![]() Invasion beach-head at Folkestone ![]() ![]() ![]() Folkestone teems with activity as German supplies are unloaded ![]() ![]() ![]() Bridges on the lesser River Stour ![]() An AT crew concealed in the grass, waits for the Leibstandarte SS to approach ![]() A troop train ferries soldiers and equipment from Folkeston to the Dover front ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Each mission features several player flyable sorties, each with its own individual mission targets and briefings ![]() The invasion fleet sails, as an attacking Blenheim is brought down ![]() ![]() While the air war is waged above, the land war rages below ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And the sea war will be decisive: can the Royal Navy prevent Germany from resupplying its troops? Or can German troops hold on long enough to force negotiations? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by planespotter; 04-18-2012 at 09:25 PM. |

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? |

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.
