Not true. II/KG76 operated Ju88's from Creil.

There are a few more groups I think

Regarding the spawn probs @ Ford. There were no SPAWN problems, but TAXI problems with hidden holes and bumps causing wild flips. Once we worked out a safe path to the runway it was all fine.

Since we are in the Calais strait next time are we able to operate No.501 from Gravesend? We had rotol Hurricanes there. No.56 operated Hurricanes out of North Weald.

I had a lot of issues on MP since the last patch but with lots of tweaking my PC and CloD seems to be more stable now.

No.501 are recruiting. You are welcome to join us if we take your fancy.

(please please please). i'm also squadronless btw... ready and willing

We operate JG26 though we are short on pilots for that crew, I'll try to get those guys in next time. We also operate No.64 squadron (Spitfires) and No.501 squadron (Hurricanes). Something for everyone.

Right, but Creil is located 5kmfrom the sourthern and 20km away from the eastern border of the map we have, what is immersion-killing to operate from. At least from my point of view.

I found no other KG equipped with Ju88 on the map, but didn´t use Creil on my template so far. Maybe I will add Creil, but I don´t think it is realy useful, where it is located.

SNAFU has a point, when I researched the bases generally what I found was KG's were actullay off the map in most cases...

The other headache was that the RAF used allot of satellite bases for the day/patrol... meaning you can really only get info for the main bases... Its a shame the Gladiator is not in the game, there were some RN bases on the last map.


The next mission we are running was one of the first I researched. It took about 40 hours and about another 20 to place everything. I also placed the british AAA batterys according to historical sites, as near as damn it. No information could be found for German AAA as they were more mobile at this time. Plus with allot of German things its hard to find docs, maps etc.


Some times you just have to draw the line between historical accuracy and getting it done this year...

Bring it on

Post 56 Sqdn to Manston for the day if you want us closer than North Weald, it'll save us a 60 mile hike.

And yes we can take some public players too.

Farber, could you share that AAA information? Sounds very interesting.

I know what you mean about bases though, squadrons were on constant rotations around the area.

@klem, sorry, wasn't trying to post you out of the way, just referencing your homedrome lol TBH I would have to check the map to find North Weald anyway - no idea!

lol, no offence taken.

North Weald is NNE of London off the M11 (its also on the CoD map). Looking down the runway I'm sure I can just see a Hurricane in the distance....

Yes here you go:

http://www.anti-aircraft.co.uk/HAA_gun_sites_map.html

Some icons are interactable and you can see the remains of the sites. A great resource. Dont forget this map is 1945! So for BoB there would be less.


Bases, red then blue:

(Careful with this one ^ , it contradicts itself. I cross refreced it with other sources.)

Sorry Osprey, looks like we'll have to post you to Croydon for this one!
