That guy's sig pic depicts MkVb's of 92 Sqn (QJ) in early '41, as he says over the Isle of Wight - The Needles to be precise. The ranking of RAF officers in the game is all wrong - the Corporals would have been riggers/fitters, not pilots, no matter what the shortage may have been they simply weren't flight trained! Their contribution to the war effort is highly under rated none the less... Flt Sgt/Pilot Officer/Flying Officer/Flt Lt/Sqn Ldr/Wing Cdr/Gr Capt (rarely flying) etc are the correct RAF ranks.

Howdilli...well, as I've waxed lyrical about this game before-and now that I've finally finished the campaign on realistic a few days ago [just started on simulation;] I hope I'm forgiven for offering some harsher criticism-in the interests of forging a stronger sequel!
#1; Unless the flak can be made WAY more dangerous [I have'nt been hit yet...so that's 100000% more lethal??:] I'd scrap all the ground attack missions entirely. Without flak they're weak, dull-and far too easy next to the fighter-type stuff [which shines.] #2; Some type of secondary zoom for the 3rd person view would be VERY nice, which you have inside. It's even more important 3rd person actually; as you're already a greater distance from the enemy, than in-cockpit... #3; Ability to fly any plane, in any campaign-once mission unlocked. A staple, for providing replayability. #4; Training is a bit bare-bones. Something like in 'Battlestations"; where you can choose plane types/formations etc, and then place them. #6; One way to add replay with the campaign, is the ability to 'slide' the ratio of ace pilots, to rookies...maybe then, less of them will crash into the ground, or fly in a straight line whilst I'm chasing them;0) #7; After such an inspired gameplay decision in campaign [no consequences for failing a mission...just like real life, you still keep flying;] why is this taken away in the single missions?? Reminds me of 'Heroes of the Pacific'-where I'd fail countless times, for not managing to shoot down xhundred fighters within the first 10 minutes.....means most replay single player, is in the campaign. I mean; 'Heroes', not a sim, was a WAY harder game than this [practically unplayable because of it]...because they'd fail you all the time. Anything that's timed-unless it's in a racing game..... #8; byebye 'recon' missions. Seriously...I was laughing, wondering what people would think of my new 'game'...which consisted in flying in a slow circle, for 10 minutes. Gameplay?? Again, recon missions in campaign are ok...as stuff at least tries to chase you. Again; mucho apologido. Love the game...I just want a stronger sequel;0)

Started to play some simulation games lately, I just noticed something I ignored:
- Now in simulation mode you can use external views by pressing the D-PAD The virtual cockpit is presently a necessity due to the absence of cockpits for some planes, but external views feels a bit more unrealistic. Hopefully in future patches / DLC there will be an option to restrict the use of external views and the use of planes that don't have cockpits.

Are you sure? As far as I'm aware, only the 109 and 190 were definitely getting 'pits in the immediate future, and there was no mention of them being part of the forthcoming patch. I may be wrong, but I don't think there are any plans to provide pits for the bombers, or Italian fighters.

Dear Devs,
would there be any possibility of setting an approx start altitude level for Multiplayer Maps please...I'm thinking this would encourage more high altitude dog fighting, an aspect of your fine game which is slightly lacking in multiplayer... also a strike variant where one side just takes fighters and racks up multiple tickets for each bomber kill, the bombing team can go with just bombers or maybe escorts too... also dlc the low-level Romanian oil fields raid in B24s...real eye-candy potential ________ Buy Silver Surfer Vaporizer Last edited by juz1; 02-24-2011 at 09:37 AM.

2) Can you tell the difference between earth brown and ocean grey in B&W photos? The Spitfire MkV entered service in early 1941 and the Land Temperate scheme was not replaced until August 1941. The first production Spitfire MkVs were factory painted in the Land Temperate scheme, Dark Earth/Dark Green/Sky (Type S refers to the type of paint used - smooth instead of matt - not the colour. There were other Type S paints in use). Squadrons started reequipping with the MkV from February 1941. From 16th August 1941, day fighters were instructed to be repainted in the new Day Fighter Scheme of Ocean Grey/Dark Green/Medium Sea Grey. This was to be done at the first convenient opportunity. From September 1941 manufacturers had to supply new aircraft in the Day Fighter scheme.
