Fairey Battle the missing RAF fighter/bomber

[He111]

I'm willing to pay $20-$40 for patch / dlc with additional planes / flyables.

What i want;

(1) flyable defiant (dunkirk campaign)
(2) flyable Condor (atlantic campaign)
(3) flyable Hampden / hudson (early war campaigns)

Curtis Hawk??? hmmmm, yeah, Battle for France campaign with all french aircraft .. YEH!

I would quite happily pay full purchase price again for a good BoF add-on with appropriate plane, and ground force set. It was an amazing campaign, and if the communications situation had been better on the allied forces side the Germans could have been turned back. It is the one campaign I have always wanted in a sim and I still hope that oneday it can be done. It is the thing that keeps drawing me back to WW2OL time after time since release!

Imagine how cramped the navigator was!

Heh, i completely miss any recollection of reading about the RHAF (Royal Hellenic/Greek air force) operating Battles, but that's exactly what your second picture shows.

I know our guys used to fly a few squadrons in exile under RAF command while the country was occupied and there was also a wealthy playboy who had emigrated to and was living in the UK that made ace flying Typhoons and Tempests (he didn't make it, i think flak got him at some point), but Battles is something i don't really remember reading about. I mean, it's definitely something they would have been likely to have operated, but i just don't know where and in which campaigns.

The well known parts of the story are about 335 and 336 squadrons in N.Africa flying Hurris and later Spits, plus a mixed-crew bomber squad with Greek officers and Commonwealth gunners that was flying Blenheims initially and then transitioned to Martin Baltimores. These outfits also took part in some notable operations, the El Alamein battle and the attacks on Monte Cassino respectively, but i am very curious about the context under which the Battle makes an appearance in Greek colours. Any ideas?

Back on topic, the Hampden gets my vote and as far as making sense in terms of development time, you can't go wrong with a swordfish: it fought everywhere and did everything during the entire duration of the war

Just bought the airfix kit!

I built one in the early 70s that I picked up at a shop in Cambridge when I was visiting the UK after high school graduation.

I still have it somewhere...

in time it would be nice to have these. I'd like to fight the Battle for France and Dunkirk.

Still, there are more important things at the moment and we can simulate the BfF with what's available.

for sure mate, when the time comes and all is complete and running well with the base game.
