Storm of War: Battle over Britain...

[starlord]

I would love to relive the battle of the bismarck in this sequel: Please remember the old swordfish.

The hunt for Bismarck is exciting, but SOW:BOB (or whatever it name will be) is probably going to focus on dogfighting. As you know, the airwar against Bismarck was without any participation from Luftwaffe. I suppose such a mission will have few people flying it. The Swordfish itself is a plane that probably falls under the "crap-plane" designation. As a shipborn torpedoplane it was really good, but only in areas where there was little or no aerial oposition. And as such, it is a relatively uniterresting plane in a dogfight sim.

It is possible to use the stock IL-2T plane and the Tirpitz allready in the game to create a mission that resembles the hunt for Bismarck, but it is of course not the same without the correct plane.

indeed, but remember also that despite being very restricted to the pacific theater, several maritime strikes have occured in the european theater. As such, perhaps you should also incorporate several vessels and specialised planes to deal with them. either military ships, or convoys/patrol ships.

And what about subs?

I always thought subs should have been improved in IL-2. Sinking a submerged sub in IL-2 is almost impossible.
Another feature that would have been nice is if the sub had started out surfaced and then could submerge.

I'm sure we'll see the Swordfish at some point... but really the Bismarck is a boring battle compared to the other crowning achievement of the Swordfish: The attack at Taranto. That's something that's really interesting from an aviation standpoint... Something that I'm imagining that we'll see in the North Africa/Med update that has been talked about for some time.
