Which Aircraft Will You Choose?

[bw_wolverine]

As we get closer and closer and closer to maybe possibly actually having this game, I wanted to ask people which plane they're going to adopt for the battle of britain and why. Also, do you play in an organized community? What time do you play online? Maybe we can help get people who want to be part of something bigger involved in online wars or squadrons. Might be a better use of time and forum space than another argument about Steam or Freetrack.

As for me:

Plane?: Hurricane

Why?: My friends and I play missions in IL-2 with the P-40E. When we start flying as a squadron in CloD I think we'll find it an easier transition to the Hurricane. Also, we proudly fight for the allies in this virtual war.

Organized?: Roughly four or five of us play IL-2 with some regularity but not part of a larger online war. We fly as the Bad Wolf Squadron (not historical). We're fairly casual, but can step up the discipline when required.

When?: We fly around 8:00pm EST (Eastern Canada/USA)

interesting question: I'm quite looking forward to try the smaller planes, on which I have some moderate experience (350 hrs on the Tiggie and 24 on the Bf10 and want to see what they achieved there. After that I'm very curious to try the lot, esp the twin engine boys.

Having said this all.. I'm quite fought between the 109 and Spitfire..

As long as I can strap a lewis gun on me Tiger Moth, I'll be right!

The Hurricane's appealing to me at the moment. I'll fly the Tiger Moth training section first though.

Too much RoF, Skoshi?!

At the earliest opportunity, I'll set up a solo Spit flight at Dawn, do some aerobatics over the airfield, edit the track, capture the footage and make a short film, adding Elgar's Nimrod from the Enigma Variations.

Then I'll watch it a lot, and compare it to the identical thing I did with IL2.

After I've done the full training thing in the Tiger, I'm hoping to go direct to a Spit squadron, coz I always find Hurris awkward in IL2.

I can usually be found getting shot down a lot on UKDed1, any evening from 9.00pm - ish UK time, and expect to be doing the same with CoD, as long as my connection is good enough.

Spit for me, every time!

As to team issues, does anyone recall whether voicecomms are part of the package, or will we be using Teamspeak?

My squad and me will fly.........

the Bf110 of course.

And this time not as close escort, but in a free hunt or as low level surprise on some english airport.

I think im gonna try out the Bf-110 online after some practice. Something tells me its gonna be a killer.

[meplay]

I really cant wait to have a fly of the Bristol Blenheim

At the moment I can't say what I'll be happier about: 110 or 88. I think I will take them both
