This is a flight simulator after all.
Combat flight sim actually. Combat being the operative word here. We have ground targets and yet no ships. So you last point is moot.

As for SDK I don't believe that for a second. Please show me clearly where it states that ships are 3rd party only? You are guessing.

No ships means a big part of the Battle can not be simulated. None of the Luftwaffe convoy assaults and none of the Blenheim anti shipping strikes. Bad show.

I too am concerned here.

I do most of the mission building for the Pigs and Pubbers, though I can see Hamish stepping in here as well for us.

How can you possibly make combat missions that involve an island nation that does not involve warships, on either side?

In 1940 the Royal Navy was still the biggest navy in the world! We do need naval ships adding in the future to make this sim complete. We also need the German Navy for missions like the channel dash ect.

It's one of my big disappointments with the sim. Now, I don't need the whole Royal Navy or the Kriegsmarine simulated in intricate detail, but at least a destroyer and a patrol boat for each side was too much?

But hey, we got Italian aircraft in the game, and everybody knows you can't have a proper BoB sim without the Italian airforce...

I can't help but wonder based on what exactly they do game design decisions at Maddox games.

What will people moan about next. Seriously, it's one thing after another.

I'd like to complain about the serious lack of wildlife.

And the way those cows move around is just laughable.
