Climb and turn gently to see the splashes of your bombs closing on the ship (by the way, the splash intervals reduce progressively as the bomb slows down). Admire the chain explosions of the ship and the pieces falling all around. Then dodge those pesky fighters on your way back to base. Then you will have a vague idea of this sim.

Of course all the above is applicable only is your PC is beefed up enough.



Cheers!

Sounds fun, though hardly the "battle of Britain" is it?

The Battle can be roughly divided into four phases:

10 July – 11 August: Kanalkampf, ("the Channel battles").
12 August – 23 August: Adlerangriff ("Eagle Attack"), the early assault against the coastal airfields.
24 August – 6 September: the Luftwaffe targets the airfields. The critical phase of the battle.
7 September onwards: the day attacks switch to British towns and cities.
