But overall it is up the the russians. cold war does not exist in video games lol

It's so worth it. I'd have paid anything anyway for to have the joy of dropping a Grandslam from my Lancaster B1 special so was such a bonus when they published it online. Worth taking kav up on his disc offer though as he's unlocked the dambuster co-op mission which is awesome if you play the whole thing through from take off, run over Norfolk, holland and into Germany at minimum height. Its a good couple of hours work mind and i still cant hit the eider dam!

Yeah your right, that particular mission is great on co op if you have the time to play it!!

Was annoying the first time i played i though, my "wave" were second to take off, i was assigned a a wingman to the lead plane.. who clealry had only just got BoP!!!

"How do i raise my landing gear" he would say, or "how do i fire my guns"

Eventually taking off, the idiot manages to drop his bouncing bomb within 2 mins, idiot!!! so he's flying to the target with no bomb, leaving it to the 2 of us that are left. He soon gets bored and quits out.

The other guy i had with me who was the other wingman... decided to WEP all the way after take off. Eventually he pulled away because he had extra speed. I hear he didnt make it far before blowing his engines and also quitting out haha.

Left me on my own anyway... i got to the target and dropped my bomb... only to miss time it gutted.

Great mission though.


Played it many times since, with good pilots to fly with its great.


He does need the disk of KAV, since he's missing out on some great co op missions.


How did you get on with the "tirpitz" mission? Did you manage to find it on your first pass, or did you accidentally bomb the wrong ship? Thats a good one to

Just tried this over the weekend and yep hit the hospital ship in the fjord to the south! Oops! I got mixed up at low level and went hammering down the wrong valley, saw what I thought was a battleship in the distance, pulled the nose up, dropped my bomb only to realise as I did there was a bloody great red cross on the hull! Cue me back to scampton to start again. Quick question on this, is it better to enagae the FW190's that attack as you cross into Sweden or try and run and let your escorts attack them?

a guy i was playing online last night was talking about that same mission. he said he dove for the deck and ordered his escorts to cover him. he made it through BUT got butchered by the AA at the mouth of the fjord...its like the rear gunner on a 17...very accurate! so keep that in mind.

Ah the hospital ship!! Yeah its an easy mistake to make. I think had i not gone for the smaller ship then i would of probably done the same and gone for the hospital ship to.

I found that being vulnerable underneath, i hit the deck so that i couldnt be hit from below, then headed for sweden while letting my gunners do what they could, and also having the escorts help out.

Its good to see the increase in speed once you release that bad boy of a bomb though. Crawling back across the north sea with 3 engines is also a bit nerve wracking.

A good mission.

If i can get a good 360 player to use the fighter with drop tanks, then they will help get the lancs all the way to the target and back. The AI can be a bit poor sometimes.

I flew top cover in the P51 with fuel tanks, thy unlocked the corsair. If you do it in the Blenheim you unlock the Catalina and "Bismark Search" mission. It takes a ton of runs to down Tirpitz with the Blenheim. Rock hard stuff but worth it
