Yes, but this was later on. Would be intresting when this done, Oleg could include this improvement some time in the BOB campaign.

Otherwise flutter would remain during whole BOB campaign.

Ill ask Oleg.

Ive already done it...
"10. sorry if this has already been answered, but what is the time line for BoB:SoW going to span? ...
Are well looking at May '40 through September? or will it go on into winter '40/'41?"

Oleg's answer: June 40- October 40

"Is it known if the Spitfire and the Hurricane mkIs will be modeled with the 3-bladed De Havilland Constant Speed Propeller? both planes were fitted with them starting in June 1940... Or will the sim start at an earlier date and therefore have both the older 3-bladed 2-pitch DH Hamilton propeller and the later constant speed DH?"

Oleg's answer: Probably both variants. In code it is already.

"also are you planning on including the Spitfire mkII? squadrons started conversion to them in September '40."

Oleg's answer: No.

^that last answer is unfortunate. i dont really see why it wont be included, its not like there needs to be a completely reworked model, just a slightly changed FM. oh well.

I have to say that I have always enjoyed the BF109's "nasty-mean" looks...and I also love the history and beauty of the Spitfire...but like a lot of people here I'm really curious about trying my skills with the Hurricane. When you read "RL" story's about the air battles of "BoB" you read fantastic accounts of "every-day-joes" battling away with the "bread & butter" Hurricane...

In the end I will fly them ALL...

Since both are nearly as deadly as the next and almost equal in performance out of shear beauty I'm going for the spit.

BOBSOW from June, so cutting out of engine should not be moddeled in game?

By the way this is very intresting read:

Actually Boblast it depends exactly what you mean by later on.

All Spitfires,Hurricanes and were converted to Constant Speed units by 16August 1940.

Spitfires were the first to be converted commencing on 24June 1940. There conversion being completed earlier than 16 Aug 1940.

Ref : Spitfire the History By Morgan and Shacklady. Pages 53 and 54 under the heading of "The Switch to Constant Speed Propellers"

[Bloblast]

I do not exactly know when conversion started and was completed for Spitfires and Hurricanes. A the beginning of BOB say around June 40 may be a small percentage was converted.

As in my previous post:

Spitfires were the first to be converted commencing on 24June 1940.
All Spitfires,Hurricanes and were converted to Constant Speed units by 16August 1940.
