Basically, all the area north of Moscow, including Leningrad and Murmansk would have been cut off from the rest of the USSR. Not to mention a huge moral drop, should the city be lost. Plus, loss of the whole industrial region around Moscow.
So, it may not be an end, but a terrible disaster for the country - most definitely. What could happen then - who knows? Quite probably, Japan would join the war against the USSR too, after this. So...

Oh yeah, it was a fight worth winning for sure.

I just don't see an immediate surrender on the loss of Moscow. Leningrad would have been in trouble, but the idea of collapse in total seems unlikely. Though granted, I don't know the country.

So is it true, or not? I'd be interested to know. I have a number of detailed pics like that of the spit cockpit, but none of the Hurricane

ok, i know that german raids over moscow was poors compared with BOB: very low charge of bombs, and incendiary bombs, only to panic the russian center population. offices, theaters and goberment buldings the common bombing target . But not big deal.

only i want is that oleg don't do a moscow city battle small scenario.
But compared whit battle of britain, we have more different planes to choose. nice

What I especially liked was that 'your' eye followed the gun and gunsight along the barrel..I have never seen this in a sim before..I hope it will be that way, and isn't just my imagination.
Usually you just see the gun from a rear position, not aligned with the sights.
