The Bf109 just does not look right to me with that canopy and as the Bristol Beaufighter is included as an A.I plane which didn't see service until December 1940, Oleg must be covering the time period up to then, I think most 109s had the square canopy by then...prehaps the E4 and E7 will be downloadable content after the game is released...what does Rise Of Flight charge $ per new aeroplane?


Oleg, a Christmas general update on how the game is shaping up would be nice !!

How many of us will still be checking the forums on Xmas day to see if Oleg has posted?!

All the very best to you all,

Simon
There's the very 109 E-3 in the screenshots. I wish they would display it like that. This 109 was shot down during the Battle Of Britain as you can see the canopy is correct.

I doubt that the canopy of the Duxford's Emil does anything has in common with the original canopy any more. It looks like a replica, not made very well. Last april I went to Duxford and took a closer view to it.

Here's a painting of the event... Not solid proof but it's an older type in the painting also.

Here's the original photo I believe. Canopy matches the one we see in SoW.
I accept that both canopy styles featured in BoB 109s though.

both kind of canopies were in use during BoB - with and without head armour.

keep in mind that the only difference between E-1, E-3 and E-4 were thier wingarmament.
MG17, MG-FF, MG-FF/M

so, an originaly build E-3 , rearmed with MG-FF/M became an E-4!

i realy hope MAddox will include E-1 and E-4 , the most used variants during BoB.
