1+2) Waypoints are neccessary. Another spech that they should be defined in briffing... and as well as dynamically changed waypoint due to command using radar data for exaple. Triggers will be.

Oleg, could you give us a little more detail here, if possible?. example - will a radar vector give you the ability to change a waypoint in-flight?

We model all structure of HQ that receive information from the Radar and give then commands to ground AA-artillery, to planes, etc. and if you recieve this information in Air then you should redirect your flight according given info. We try to model it with the precise of that time... so it will be not so precise like in modern time. You even may miss the target by altitude or so... like it was in reality, reading recalls of British pilots.

German radars will work by other way. They used it for another purpose.

If I understand Oleg's reply correctly, then we should be pleased to see that the team is attempting to model the imprecision of radar at the time of the Battle of Britain. Hopefully they will find a way of moving what could be called a 'floating' waypoint on our flight maps - though I hope that the maps will be somewhat different from the knee-pad version used in Forgotten Battles. This particular battlefield was much more local than the vast Russian steppe or the emptiness of the Pacific. Vectoring by radio was the rule of the day, based on the calculations (and inspired guesses) of the plotters at Fighter Command HQ.

Oleg, thank you for your answers. Much appreciated.
