Will SoW BoB include all planes or just BoB time?

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.


Focke-Achgelis FA 330 Bachstelze

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...

No, it's not. Completely different design.

A helicopter uses a propelled rotor to push air down to generate lift and thrust.

An Autogyro has a propeller that moves the aircraft forward, while the comparably slowly rotating "rotor" acts as a rotating wing and provides lift by air resistance.

You can notice the difference in the axis of the rotor in forward flight:
A helicopter has the rotor tilted forward to provide lift and forward thrust.
The autogyros rotor is tilted aft to provide more air resistance against the airstream to generate lift.

@ Friendly_flyer:
I doubt limited material is the primary problem.
