Will SoW BoB include all planes or just BoB time?

What, the 17z as AI only???!1?!one??

Sacrilege!

No body wants to model the 17 (sniff).
NO game has ever properly modeled that bomber, NONE.
and yet is was about 1/3 of the BoB force!

BTW, its a 17z and 215b to be precise.

Also, the:
Boulton Paul Defiant (possible night-fighter variant)
Blenheim MkI (possible night-fighter variant)
should be playable too.


(I know, they probably will make playable in upgrade)

Heres a real one that should be restored soon

The twin-engined Dornier 17, buried in a sandbank, is the last of its kind in the world.

It was discovered when a fishing boat snagged its nets on the wreckage off the coast of Deal, Kent.

The plane, known as a Flying Pencil, was blasted out of the sky during Nazi attacks on Britain in August 1940.

The RAF Museum plans to raise it from the water next year and put it on display in London.

It said the plane was in "remarkable" condition. Museum director Air Vice-Marshal Peter Dye added: "It is a unique survivor from the Battle of Britain."

Here is my attempt at an update/correct the list (also from memory).

Bolingbroke (aka Blenheim Mk IV)
D.H. TigerMoth - 2 seat trainer.

Bf-110 (D Romanator believes)
He-111H-3
He-111P
Ju-87 B-2
Ju-88 A-1
Fiat G-50
Fiat Br.20

Su-26 as a demonstrator of the FM to current pilots, and just for fun
Oleg has a couple Sukhoi engineers on his team, btw.

as AI:

Gloster Gladiator
Vickers Wellington
Avro Anson (2 possible types)
Avro-Rota Cierva Autogyro
Supermarine Walrus
Short Sunderland
Boulton Paul Defiant (possible night-fighter variant)
Blenheim MkI (possible night-fighter variant)
Bristol Beaufighter MkI

Fiat CR.42
FW-200
He-59
He- 115
Do-17
Do-217
Ju-52 (with and without floats)
Bf-108 Taifun

I (Avimimus) predict a flyable autogyro, Gladiator and a drivable truck shortly after release, along with possibly a Fw-190A.

The Westland Lysander was also under development at one point and I wouldn't be surprised to see it as an AI aircraft. They were even working on the emergency ground attack variant (used for repelling Op Sea Lion)

This will be by far the most comprehensive BoB sim ever created.

[Feuerfalke]

The AutoGyro was already confirmed playable AFAIK.

FW's take part in the BoB, at least in the end and as JABO.

I thought they didn't see service before mid 1941 - as fighters. They certainly never took part in the Battle of Britain.

An auto-gyro? Was this combat capable, or an experimental aircraft during BOB? Can't see much practical use for one of these other than maybe recon flights.
