Indeed. For example, RAF pilots patrolling the skies over Dunkirk during the allied evacuation had little idea of the full scale exodus that was happening below.

the complete list of NATO symbols is not born 'good for the mission builder? strange. In my opinion might be a good idea.Si would know if the RAF pilots wore in their plane was a map like this map? an aeronautical map of the Second World War? German bombers had surely a tactical map on board.
The tactics and strategy are two important elements to be included in a simulation professional.BOB's not forget that there are only in aircraft but also ships trups.e means and the various structures.

Oleg have you seen this:

I have no idea how accurate the information is, but it sounds as if he knows what he is talking about.

Could we see some interior shots of the He 111? I can't recall the last time we saw any of these.

For example, an AI RAF flight could be given orders not to engage with Me109s, but only go for bombers. Or AI Luftwaffe could be given orders engage RAF aircraft but ignore shipping etc. Individual aircraft could perhaps have 'obedience' settings, so that orders are not always obeyed!

All this would add the the historical realism of the sim and seriosuly increase the scope/fun of missions/mission building.

This could be done in European Air War. It's a very old sim but it had one of the best command structure interfaces i've seen. For example, you could tell parts of your flight to "target bombers" or "target fighters" and they did just that. They selected the targets, but they didn't break off and attack until you told them to.

There was a lot more cool stuff you could do with them, like attacking bombers in a line abreast formation before breaking off, sending some of them to occupy the fighters while the rest of the flight took on the bombers and so on. I have the original disc and manual lying around, maybe i could upload the html document that explains EAW's command system if i get around to it. I strongly suggest copying that system or using it as a baseline guide, it was that good.

The Fiat BR.20 SN.22621 243-2 of the 243rd Squadron forced down at Woodbridge, Suffolk, Battle of Britain. An officer holds wine and biscuts found in the Italian plane


loock this is italian food during a mission if pilots not have food not have ENERGY not have MORALE not have Good attenction during fly.

The food is important for refuel pilots energy and morale.

As I remarked before when someone posted this pic on one of the forums, I think the guy on the right has come across downed Italian aircraft before.

I think we can agree on this one Xilon_x. No WWII air combat sim is complete without refreshments for the aircrew. If Oleg ever makes us a Sunderland, we can probably have a three-course meal on board. If I'm piloting a Blenheim, I'll probably have to make do with a thermos of tea and a spam sandwich.
