SoW: Battle for Moscow and other Igromir news

[philip.ed]

Great shot.
Does anyone think that the houses should maybe look more industrial in the London area? By this I mean that the city exudes a certain warmth as those houses look as though they all have kent-peg-tile roofs.
Was this true of a 1940 London?
Although, even it was, wouldn't they all be dirt and discoloured from London's smog?
Wellum wrote of how dirty cities look from altitude, and one doesn't get this impression here.
Of course...WIP!

Though the dockyards layout looks different today, this Junkers Ju88 A-1 could be flying over the Port of Le Havre.

STORM OF WAR Battle for Moscow is not the correct name to me.

Germany never comes to moscow capital.

The correct name to me is:

STORM OF WAR Operation Barbarossa (Unternehmen Barbarossa)

It might not be the correct name to you, but it is correct.

'battle for' not 'battle in'. note the difference....

moscow was the objective....

So you also want to change the name of the Battle of Britain? Germany never invaded Britain either, just overflew and bombed it, as they overflew and bombed Moscow.

Barbarossa is the whole Operation, from Karelia to the Black Sea and the upcoming sim will not focus on that whole operation, but just focus on the Battle of Moscow.

Yes the name is right, it was one of the turn points in the eastern conflict, much looking forward flying on the eastern front again!

OOOOOOOOOOOO MMMMMMMMMMMMY GODDDDDDDD

german raid Britain completly. 90% of all citys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but Never Bomb Moscow.


The battle will be from Minsk to 50km west of moscow.
From this way, the name is very very WINGS OF PREY. (city battles) (very small sceneries) this is not good for me. i don't like the idea.

anyway, i think that will be better another scenario, like Leningrad, whit German forces, Finland Forces and Russian Forces in 1941. that will be nice

ok, i know that german raids over moscow was poors compared with BOB: very low charge of bombs, and incendiary bombs, only to panic the russian center population. offices, theaters and goberment buldings the common bombing target . But not big deal.

The battle are 50-150km west of Moscow.

only i want is that oleg don't do a moscow city battle small scenario.
But compared whit battle of britain, we have more different planes to choose. nice
