Will SoW BoB include all planes or just BoB time?

[Blackdog_kt]

That seems to be a pretty accurate list to be honest, with the 11 mentioned flyables. However, in one of Oleg's interviews (i think it was either the check six interview or his last simhq interview), he stated that they increased the number of flyables to 17.

Now, we all know mr Maddox doesn't promise anything unless he's 100% sure he can deliver, so i guess we'll see those extra flyables. The mystery for me is not if we will get the extra 6 aircraft but what aircraft exactly they will be, because even though an increased list has been mentioned i haven't been able to find any information as to exact aircraft types.

Does anyone have any information on that? Would be interesting to see

That number may include all the possible variants. I think there are supposed to be a few Bf-109 types: two guns, four guns, and two guns with two cannon, as well as a couple Hurricane types: one with two blade fixed-pitch prop, one with 3 blade variable-pitch.

Correct, this statement was including all modeled variants.

Another example, why we should be careful with quoting things out of the context.

OMFG!!!!!
"Helos"!!!!
Cool!!!They will be interesting to shoot down.Still,Do-17,He-115 and Defiant should be flyable.

You guys know that an autogyro is not a helo, right?

The only autogyro I know of was the one that the germans towed behind U-Boats in order for them to be able to recon the area. I think they were later than BoB though.

Avro / Cierva C.30



(note that this image is from the really early days of SoW development snapshots, and I wouldn't take it as a guaranteed inclusion)

"Twelve C.30A built by Avro for the Royal Air Force (RAF) entered service as the Avro 671 Rota Mk 1 (Serials K4230 to K4239 and K4296 & K4775). The twelve were delivered between 1934 to 1935. They equipped the Army School of Co-operation at Old Sarum near Salisbury.

Many of the surviving civil aircraft were also taken into RAF service between 1939 and 1940. In 1940 they equipped No. 1448 Flight at RAF Duxford. Later they equipped No. 529 Squadron RAF at Halton on radar calibration work. They disbanded in October 1945. At the end of the war the twelve survivors were sold."

Sorry, correction:

Btw. I'd assume that 2/3rds of my predictions are off (and probably won't be in the first product). However...

Autogyro is an helicopter wannabe.

Also,I hope Oleg add in later versions the R-4 for Pacific,Kayaba Autogyro,Flettner 222,Focke Achgelis Fa 223 Drache...
