I did.. very interesting perspective that was told. Many Brits feared the 109, they saw what it could do in Poland and France. In the end it was the poor tactics and organization that lead to the Luftwaffe's demise. Not this time around though

I think we need some 190's. I need my easy escape route.

You will have to tie someones dynamic game to a static game to do that. Will the German stay close and slow to the bombers?? Hell no, they know it was wrong to do, they wount be forced to do it.

Same problem with IL2 in the pacific. You have Japanese pilots, flying with tactics they shouldnt and they use radios...

Both sides have to accept that the Historical comes from the time and dates and the hardware, not from the what you will se on the servers. You cant park a game with a static result but trying to use a dynamic way to get the static result.

Historical is a scriptet way towards the endgame, making sure that the Historical facts are used to get to the correct ending..... How many do anyone think they can get to do that.....Blues want to beat reds, they will do anything they can to do that....they dont have "stupid" commanders to order them around....they know by history what they shouldnt do.....

Exactly, Exactly. Isn't this what wargaming is about? To try to do the battle better? It's always a "what if" scenario, if not what's the point really?

Can you imagine P-51s being forced to fly wing tip to wing tip wing B-17s. I don't think that would work very well

"It [the 109] had one advantage over the spitfire - it could get higher. We always were at disadvantage - every time we met them they were higher than we were."

interview with spitfire ace George C. "Grumpy" Unwin

REGGIANE 2005/2006 is much much superior to p51 and spitfire and also p38.

No he wasn't, it was in october, and his plane came down near a village called Sarre, about 2 miles away from me. His plane is on display at Hawkinge, and he flew over 100 missions in BoB.

I suggest you re-read the book,

by the way, i finished it about a month ago.

@ Xilon, Wikipedia says the project was started in 1941. After the BoB. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reggiane_Re.2005
An interesting Italian plane, just like the Fiat G.55
