Again, this is the Battle of Britain guys. Read some books if you are not familiar with the battle.
...the more I read some of the posts here the more I am afraid we will see guys popping up and screaming "where is the Memphis Belle?!" once the game is released.

Replace the aircraft in the quote with the Short Sunderland and the Bf 110 and it's no so unreasonable.

I have the strong impression some here believe America was somehow in the Battle of Britain....

*shrug* More likely, some people here think the Battle of Britain was in 1943.

Yeah,
it will be really refreshing to miss the threads about .50's and p-51 who won the BoB

The point some people miss is the map can be used after the Battle of Britain, when other aircraft become available. I'm looking forward to ground attack and air missions into occupied France during and after the Battle of Britain.

Oleg, will their options for the Hurricane and Spits to carry bombs. I know some did later in the war. It would be fun to make some FMB missions into France for a change from constant bomber intercept missions.

Buster Dee is thinking ahead . . . to next theater of operations.

Unless Oleg jumps into Korea after BOB release. That'd be something you'd be scrolling throug the BOB plane set, then the Korea ones show up in there.

What be funny is if Korea had some Italian planes (just joshing / joking ).

Clickable cockpit should be an option you can turn off.

I mean sometimes my non mouse hand is used to hold apples and my cigar.

The .50 cal threads won't show up until P-47, Wildcats, or P-51's show up and when Tiger Tanks are put in the game.




I got a question, were their American volunteers in the RAF in BOB?

With the right ground objects a Battle of France scenario is also possible.

Would need French aircraft and armour, but that map has way more possibilities than just the BoB.

I always thought it'd be cool to start off with the invasion of Poland, then Norway, and then the low countries and France and so on. Through expansions, SoW could eventually model all the major aerial conflicts of WWII.
