Considering the details in SoW:BoB and the limited time - yes it is.

Please keep in mind that after all we're talking about initial release. That doesn't mean that there isn't a chance left to get the requested planes in later releases.

I find it funny that you can just quote that like you were Oleg himself - do you work for 1C?

Thanks Foo'bar for that view. I suppose some hope that this would come complete with all BoB aircraft, as long as at SOME stage they are included and we're not asked to shell out more for each one (bit of exagerration here)

In terms of features, the MkII was vertually identical to the late production MkI's. It had a slightly more powerful engine, had better climb, but slightly less speed than the early MkI's.

It might be hard for the 'Average Gamer' to notice the difference. ( I put myself into the category- Very Average if you ask me!). If they were going to the effort of including another plane, maybe something different would be better?

I know with Il2 a lot of people were complaining about how many spitfires were modelled and how hard it was to tell the difference.

Why does everybody ask me, if I was a part of 1C, just because I understand some difficulties they have?
I want SoW:BoB to be released as much as everybody else. I'd just like to point out, that there are people wanting to release that product even more than we do: 1C !

So if you ask me wether to release BoB (hopefully) before christmas or risking to miss the date for including a Spit, a 110 C or D, I'd rather have BoB released now and addons with those planes. Where do you stop anyway? If you include the Spit Mk.II, you have to add a stronger plane for axis, too. You just can't cover the complete WW2. Just look at IL2 - there was only a fraction of the number of planes we have in 1946, yet it was the release that made this series so famous.

Hear, hear!

I'm all for people taking Maddox Game's side (1C is the distributor). Something needs to be done to balance the whining after all.

On top of this I trust Oleg to make the best product possible. ...I suspect that he may never understand the importance of the night war (not 41' but bomber command) and that he will model Eastern Front tactics instead of the different philosophy of air warfare that developed in the West. But, still I will be happy.

This is wise young ones. It is perhaps a hard earned peace of mind (to accept things as they are without demanding perfection and to give Oleg a chance to succeed in most areas and mess up a few).

I too hope for an add-on with a couple of the earlier and later variants of many of these aircraft. Most of all though, I hope for Oleg's success (which our success is tied up in) and also for his own peace of mind (which he rightly deserves).

My two cents...

Al Schlageter, a short note about squadrons:

No 79 Squ flew with the markings AL during Battle of France and Battle of Britain, only changing to NV as they where retrained on Hurricane Mk.IIb around Newyear 1940-1941.

There is most likely other errors in codes to Petter.

Feuerfalke, you came across as a bit authorative, mayber that's why everyone asks if you're on the 1C payroll. But I appreciate your points you made

I actually thought this request (note - not a whinge - that's a different thing), was a fair one seeing as it required just a few parameters to be changed. I even would welcome as many 109 variants. My driving reason however was to depict the conflict as it happened. There were Squadrons that flew MkII's during BoB and I listed them all in the first post.

If it is not possible then I accept that. So thank you all - I have enough bricks to build a small barbeque now. Once I repair the windows and clean up the broken glass I'll start straight away
