Luftwaffe vs RAF

The Poster
 

The battle of Britain Theme will be played during waiting time

Count me in Luftwaffe. I will jump in one of those spit slots if that's ok.

Not that I can participate or anything, since I'm on 360. But, isn't that a bit lopsided? Eight Brit fighters against two German?

Maybe 4 Heinkels/Stukas and 4 109s vs a 3/3 split Spitfires and Hurricanes? After all, the RAF was outnumbered most times.

Germans had the upper hand already
 

I guess ur right my friend but since it is strike bombers have the advantage!.

See 6 He111 with loads of 50x32x6= "if they get near a cluster of bases, and hope they know how to bomb, ur pretty much done"

other thing, I restricted the he111 to the 50lb not just because of historic value, but also, had i included 250lb, the game could might as well end in 4-5 minutes. [of course, if u know how to use the he111]

Besides, after the 5 minute restriction for the he111, I will be using "bearing; N32E--> N90W" a good effective way to bomb unotice.

Is not OK. It's great
 

I see u there my friend, try not to kill me that often. I'll be flying He111 the lady single planes like Brad Spit want to hit hard.

If you are being historically correct as you state in a few replies then you will have to use the He111 H3 as the H6 wasn't around. Neither will any variant of the 109 other than the Emile be historically correct. You seem to be trying to 'adapt' what actually happened to gain the advantage for the Germans???

but surely the germans did have the advantage.... certainly in numbers they did.
I may be wrong

Maybe so, but we know how this re-enactment will end, lots of HE111 wreckage in the channel near Dover

Sorry mate your right. I should have said 'more of an advantage than you originally did'

That was never in doubt; All this has happened before and will happen again.
The beauty of computer games

That said 1 He111 versus 15 spits is going to be a bit one sided anyway! Well will be if Luftwaffe is not careful with what he's saying at the minute about the war!

Sorry but I cant resist:

Yep I having flashforwards now!!!

Who needs an Enigma machine? Loose lips sink ships...

I love this movie
 

I love it so much i must have watch it over 50 times, that's why i want to be in an He111 so at the minute I get smoke coming from either one of my engines I will fly the dam thing to the ground and or crashed in the water. Or may be fly a sittin duck stuka and intentionally bomb the Towers next to the castle in the game mode hoping a spitfire will come and shoot me down. I hope to get shoot at leas 12 times. The flames and smoke look really cool. Though one time I was climing up with a hurricane and a spitfire shoot my engine and killed me, but I could still see the plane climing in the background like a rocket, then it reached its peak and started to spiral downward, It was worth watching, I hope someone shoot me again in the same fashion. If u see me climing go for it.

The Battle of Britain
 

I plan to record this session but still wonder if i should keep it for myself or share it with the world. What do u think?
