Dude the British would have been defeated if they had continued to pound the airfields it was due to the bombing of cities that gave the RAF the relief that they needed to be able to continue fighting.

Out-dated view, that is far from the truth.

I remember when COD was released and no was as diapointed as I ,and I even whined for a little while which I regret.After seeing the effort that the guys at 1C were putting in my spirits rose,and I cant thank them enough.The game is cool I dont have many problems now,and the ones I do have are minor,and not worth commenting on well done 1C.
Iam content in the knowledge that the game can only improve,and be the leader it promises to be.I would also like to point out that some people have selective or short memorys I remember Il2 when It was first released and it was not much better but look how that game progressed with the release of each patch,and progresivley there after.Guys if you dont like the game then leave it and go fly some thing else each to their own.I for one have the patience and confidence in 1C to know all is good and I have much to look forward to

The fact that they stopped bombing airfields gave the RAF some relief does not mean that if they hadn't stopped then the RAF would have crumbled.
It just gave them time to reorganize and replenish the pilots.
At the end of the day they came through for Britain and we as a nation owe more to them than any other fighting party

Agreed..

We were in a pretty shi^^y state as far as Airfields and AC goes...them changing the target area at London and other cities gave Britain the time it needed to replenish Aircraft and pilots as well as fix AF's..

Who knows what would of happened if they kept us on the ground...very very hard to stop an evasion if you havent got an airforce to help stop it and the enemy has a free ball park to pound any defense we have/had.

But in that situation Hitler was fighting to many fronts at any given time... i could pretty much guarantee if he chose to not do that and brought the fight to Britain first and when he first thought about it with a continued attack on our Airfields to start...well i think things would be very different

I think everyone makes it a strong point that because germany changed tatics and bombed london that That was why England was able to fight back However i read a a few books and talked to a few vets about airfields around the time To know that alot of the airfields were made to look like roads and farmming fields and the fake airfields as real ones Germany had alot of bad info on old airfields and even bombed a airfield that was used for sea bombing/recon thinking it was a main stronghold for spitfires and bombed almost daily When the real field was 20 miles to the west and missed

Shipping : Canada i know was making Hurries and spits and mossy's, Lancasters and shipping them over the pond along with metal and fuel aswell with US arms o the point that later German U-boats were seen and sunk off the coast of Canada

So was it that Germany Thought they had crushed the RAF already and moved on to demoralize the english people,

Or Gave up on trying to crush the RAF and figured a surrender would come by bombing London. After all Doolittle tryied to scratch Tokyo to prove a point

My thought was. Germany had bombed other countries Airfields then cities with little fight back and stuck with the same tatic figuring they had beaten the RAF from misguided reports Letting the RAF form defence patterns with radar RAF also had time to move air fields and cover those ones that would best suit defence They also knew that Fuel would be a major issue for Germany. I keep remembering a quote a pilot used : Would you rather shoot down 50 esorted bombers with bombs or 100 unesorted bombers after they droped there bombs .....He never told me the answer but that was a tatic used back then.
