We all know that BoB was mostly about air-air engagements with some elements of jabo missions but will the campaigns have ANY variations other than air-air? I know it might seem a bit picky since this is a BoB sim/game and we don't know squat about how the missions will be really but flying the same type of missions might get a little repetetive. I guess that the triggers/scripting, new A.I and the new dynamic weather system will make every mission unique though.
What about the pics of german armoured vehicles/tanks we've seen? what use will they have if the germans can't "win" and stage an invasion? Only decorative and for "what if" mission builders maybe? What do I care anyway, I'll be over 3000 meters up in the air in a Fiat Br.20 training my bombsight anyway ![]()

well, looking at the so far "known" list of flyable planes , it realy looks like it will be an attack war mostly for the Axis side.........
Bf109 Bf110 Ju87 Ju88 He111 Br20 all can carry bombs. Allied , only the Blenheim (a dream of mine would be as additional flyables the Wellington and Beaufort, torpedo attacks with "correct" torpedo limits ![]() "Online Wars" will not have easy times with the BoB release version i guess ![]() most propably we will have to wait for the next SoW scenario to get in a tactial ground war ![]() ![]() Last edited by JG53Frankyboy; 12-06-2010 at 11:59 AM. |

JG53Frankyboy, the Fiat G.50 is flyable too on the axis side.
I don't think the early version of the Bf 109 E (which is in SoW) could carry bombs.

but the G.50 will not be able to carry bombs.I mentioned only the bombcarriers.
and what is a BoB game without the possibility to simulate the german Bf109 Fighterbomberraids (3./ErprGrp210, II(Schlacht)/LG2 from september on, one squadron of every fightergroup from October on) or the history of the ErprGrp210's Bf110. BTW, in the FMB pictures that Maddox posted in the last update there were Bf109E-3/B and Bf110C-7 (a C-4/B never existed offically) in the planelist ![]() and AFAIK the Hurricane and Spitfire werent able/used to carry bombs in 1940... |

Yes, the G.50 couldn't carry bombs. The armament was 2 12.7 mm MGs and sometimes + 2 7.7 mm MGs in the wings I think. It would be nice if there were both versions.

There will be plenty of action for ground pounders. There will be nothing to stop you from flying with whatever aircraft carries ordnance, looking for targets of opportunity on both sides of the channel..

I thought the earliest Bf109s to fight in The Battle of Britain were E-1s and that other variants had been phased out.

Only in the movies.
In reality the bomber and coastal commands attacked Germany, France and were attacking airfields, seaplane bases and the invasion barges right through the Battle of Britain. They also had night fighters on patrol over France intercepting outgoing and incoming German bombers. By the end of the BoB the new Operation Rhubarb low-level fighter operations also were starting to roll out. From Wikipedia (note the article states "9,180 sorties were flown by (British) bombers from July to October 1940") : Quote:

Well these where more sporadic missions in small numbers, going by that, you can then add all of northern England to the map so someone can do Rudolf Hess´s loony flight in his 110. If one wanted to catch every mini action that happened during that time, I think we would have to wait yet a long time for the game. And not to forget we would have to start then with the battle of France.....
If there where such a surplus on planes and pilots during BoB to do all these kind of missions in a effectiv way there never would have been orders handed out that individual aircraft should not stray out into the Channel area. Let alone a pull back to England from France. |
