Battle of Britain

[gaunt1]

Channel map + flyable Do-217K, M and a Typhoon would be awesome! Battle of Britain is a bit boring, but the following years arent, and sadly quite overlooked. Fw-190 raids, the introduciton of the Typhoon, defence of southern Britain, operation Steinbock... So much possibilities!

Only if/when you've played it 10,000 times. It was the biggest, most concentrated, dogfight in history, I can't see anything to dislike about it.

It was here too, which is also good, though in some senses irrelevant.

I'd say to each his own. I'd bet I could get a lot of fun out of it, as planes should be close in performance. But if there ever were a Channel map, it could be used for a lot of other purposes. I really hope the IL2:CLOD ban of BoB related stuff is no longer in effect.

OK, maybe I played too much European Air War in the old times... I defended Britain countless of times, thats why I say its a bit boring. Im not against it, but the following years are much more interesting for me at least.

But there was a lot more fighting over the English Channel after 1940. It would be handy for simulating RAF "Rhubarb" operations over France in 1941-42, pre-D-Day anti-shipping sweeps in 1944, early USAAF bombing raids in 1943, and Luftwaffe "tip and run" raids from 1942-44.
