Not sure I follow you there mate... Do you mean that we should set it up with the same numbers as the real battle literally, or by ratio? (i'm guessing the later, as Bop is only 8 vs 8!).
I guess you could have 6 Heinkels and 2 109's vs 6 Hurri's and 2 spits, or something like that? Not sure if enough people would want to fly the Heinkels to get a match going though, unfortunately.

As for the lack of pits problem, I always find it hard to fly without the proper pit in sim mode, as I lose my bearings very easily, which is why I listed it as a disadvantage. The fact that the RAF would have the choice would probably give them the edge IMO.

And 110's are definitely in. I totally forgot they were in game (haven't unlocked it myself, as I've had sod all time to play the game lately )

And good idea to host for different difficulties.. but for that, we need more volunteers.
Also, I'm planning on setting up the game tomorrow (Battle of Britain day in the UK). Can you make it Jareth?

Waht i meant was;

You set up the Game as much possible as you can. weahter, Planes, tactics, and all that comes across it you set it up.

I have no idea on what the amount of rounds you can play online. my copy hasent arrived yet ( Damnit!) but the first round could be the classic way

5 HE-111's Bombers,
4 ME- 109's E's ( Emile)
4 Spirfire's MK.II
and those who enter the Game later either join the Lufwaffe or the RAF? and those who won the dogfight can have the Bombers for them self - or continue the Flight to bomb the Target.

Good plan, with one drawback... you can't join an MP game thats in progress. Also, once the round is finished, everyone gets kicked from the lobby and you have to restart the host from scratch

The only way to get it too work is too have 16 people that all agree to meet at a certain time, and all join the same server. Also, they have to be the sort of players that won't quit halfway through a match, and play by the agreed rules (sides, plane sets etc).

All in all, its going to be a pain to set up, but it will be worth it if we can get it going. If we want to keep this game alive online, then we need to get the community going. Events like this are a good way to do that (IMO)

Gamertag is XBL isn' it? Are you on Xbox or PS3? I'm setting this one up for the PS3 players. (if only MS and Sony would let people cross-connect into online matches!!)

Anyone want to try and arrange something for the Xbox crowd?

You don't know what you're missing! Anyway, lets not get into the PS3 v XBox thing...

Maybe one of you guys should try and arrange an event sometime? I notice that there are lot of complaints from XBL users on here that they can't find matches. Best way to solve that is with a bit of organisation
