Hi csThor,
Well, the kind of attack you describe here are still being done. I know from personal experience (last night f.e.) that operations like this are still being executed in online campaigns. You need a good operating squad to do this, with equally trained opponents. Good examples are the AKAFA campaigns and the Ghostskies campaigns. But you won't find the them on regular online servers, unless you join them with your squad. example: http://70.87.121.84:8082/campaign/Map_View.aspx Only problem is the timezone... ![]() cheers, 352ndBP |

Because of historical bad planning and tactics......
This is and will be the main factor of alot of whining when COD comes out. The luftwaffe will encounter things they will se as wierd, the Brits will se things they will scream out was not historical.... We get a game that is a portal back. We are given the tools to recreate battles, but we cant recreate the outcome unless those flying Luftwaffe accept this and will play there game acordingly.... Im looking forward to COD, but i hope someone out there have the same thoughts as me... Not recreate the BOB, but use it as an arena to create our own BOB Not using a Historical unit, but create one, make a unit where you make the history and not a Tac that was used by someone else.. Use the interest in history and the skills earned in flightsimming for years. Have a campaign leader who realy understand it is not about re-inactment, but letting us creating our own story... We all should learn from history are told over and over again. We have learned from history, we know what was good and wrong...this is what we should do. Using these tools of fun createt to us, use them to bring us into history...our own history.....our battle of britain LTbear Last edited by Ltbear; 01-22-2011 at 10:53 AM. |

I'm wondering if we'll be able to fly under the British radar. The Germans didn't think it was a big deal so they kept comin in at normal altitudes but surely, if they knew the importance of it, they'd sneak under it IMO.

I thought they actually did, later in the war.

I'll be flying German kites mostly... more specifically the Bf-109E3. They have several key advantages over that of the Hurricane and the Spit: A direct injection system, better dive, better climb, and far superior armament. However, it takes a good pilot to really take advantage of its advantages as it is a cruel bitch to tame. And the 109 was never designed to fly slow, it's at its peak performance at higher speeds. The tactics in the beginning of the BoB for the Luftwaffe was to fly the 109s in ahead of the bombers and keep their airspeed up, making it a much more effective weapon. But then Goering ordered them to stick with the bombers, which means they had to fly alot slower... thus making the act of engaging the enemy a much harder task. When the enemy was spotted you don't have near enough airspeed and momentum to make the necessary combat maneuvers making a nice target for any Spits or Hurris that get in behind you. This was one of the key tactical failures for the Luftwaffe.
So my suggestion for any Bf-109 pilot is to get plenty of altitude, keep your speed up (400km/h and up i would say)... go in fast ahead of your bombers, and when you spot the enemy use one of your planes key advantages: climb climb climb! (unless you already have a good altitude advantage) But it's crutial to keep that airspeed up above 300km/h and your throttle way up in the climb. Hopefully it'll put you in a good position to dive in right behind em... and with a bit of flying and shooting skills you should be pretty successful. If you happen to run into trouble, just throw that stick forward and dive out of harms way. Those Merlin powered birds have a lot of trouble with negative G forces. ![]()
