1st Multisquad Campaign Battle of Britain

Some further thoughts....

Ford where there were Spitfire Spawn point problems was actually a Naval air base. Local RAF fields were Tangmere and its satelite West Hampnett just NW of Tangmere which may not have the spawn probs.

IMHO I thought the convoy was a bit too far from the coast, I believe they would hug the coast to be as far from the French coast as possible. That would have made it easier to find it

Someone said you were moving the action nearer to Calais next Sunday but it would be nice to keep Tangmere in

One of their Sqdns were involved in intercepting 18 Ju88s of II/KG54 on the way to hit RAF Odiham and 601 intercepted 23 Bf110s of V/LG 1 on their way to attack Portland.

Let`s hope for an extension of the Britain&France map. It is really an handicap for the historical approach to only have such a small map and restricted area available. Portland is something I am missing especially, same as Lille. Actually we have no Ju88 base available on the map, for the Blenheims the same. The squadrons based in Manston and Thorney Island, were made out of Nightfighters and BC is hardly found on the current England Map. Coastal Command has no planes etc... and we have no ships, besides the one Tanker...

so its all a trade off and I guess the position of the ships were one too.

I wondered why you used Ford

The bases need a general overhaul I think.

Seems 1c paid more attention to the "Pas de Calais" area bases as they seem to be in better working order.

Some one asked for briefings, Ill try and get them out for Wednesday 2nd November. Ill' post here when Im sending them.

I had a problem in my assigned airfield at Crepon K3:

I was spawned twice in the first or second most left small aircraft cover building, and exploded both times.

Quick question on skins.

I did accidentally spawn with a custom skin but on realising this I changed to the skin labelled default.

My question is can the other default skins be used as I dislike the yellow nose skins as you can be easily spotted.

Yes the defualt "stock" skins should be uneffected I think. As Rudelmann siad we will be using a line from now on to regulate this.

I'm still buzzing from this. The closest we have currently to an online war, so you guys are to be commended!

Next time I see mishaped Hurricanes I approach them from below...

Same thing happened to me testing the mission... I built it

Did you know the channel is only 60m's at its deepest? Its quite shallow with lots of peaks and troughs.
