Let's Put this Battle of Britain thing in Historical Context..

[MB_Avro_UK]

Hi all,

Battle of Britain represents a fight between the free world Democracy and Nazi Germany.

Let's not forget that.

And that the RAF was made up of men from around the world. From memory, over 20% of pilots were not British.

This simulator represents a huge battle. And similar to Stalingrad in it's result.

So let's forget our issues with Frame Rates etc. Just for a moment.

Best Regards,
MB_Avro.

Or one could say that Germany was fighting the spread of conservative rightwing politics

uhm the term "free world Democracy" is not correct in my opinion. What you probably mean is "Allies vs germany". Its naive to say the brittains brought free world democracy to the countries because its like in every empire they still fight for their own purposes. Lots of ppl lost their lives for whatever reason. We should never forgett em because "whole europe" was war-torn by nazi-germany and we should be happy that today still a german native like me can discuss with someone from Greatbritain in this forum without being discredited.

One could say that, but one would be wrong.

Err what historical context are you attempting to put it in? As i see no historical context in your post.

This game represents a tiny battle nothing like Stalingrad. It was important but it certainly was not huge or even large.

Apparently it was intercontinental warfare as Avro is from England but not Europe...

I say let's get back to framerate issues as this could go bad and is pointless from the start...

Without good FPS I can't help the virtual nazis overcome UK! After the beta is released maybe this thread will have some value.

Wouldn't that be like fighting themselves? Nazi-ism is about as far right as you can go. With Stalin being being the polar opposite (extreme left).
Besides, the vast majority of Germans were not Nazi's. That would be like saying all Americans are Republicans.

Well Stephen Bungay put it very well in his book "The most dangerous enemy" (If you haven't already read it then get a copy, it will make you appreciate the game a lot more too.)

If Britain hadn't won the BOB, then the two likely alternatives would have been.

The entire European continent would have been under Nazi rule, or the more likely outcome would have been that the entire European continent would have been under communist rule, and for a very long time. Not really a good result for humanity in either case.

America could never have entered the war in Europe if it weren't for the island of Britain from which the allies could launch the invasion. What were they going to do launch from New York?

The Battle of Britain is of huge importance don't underestimate it.
