Setup for January 30, 2004
« on: January 28, 2004, 03:12:14 PM »
Britain, June 1942

Operation SeaLion is on the backburner but the idea that England is available has Hitler thinking about the possibility.  Churchill is finally getting the support he needs from the Americans with the arrival of medium bomber squadrons.  JG2 has a visiting delegation of Italian C.202 fighters to assist in their training.   The German lion may be unleased yet... an perhaps capture that pesky Typhoon for their own use...

Don't should be there Spit 9 not only 5 for game ballance?

109F overall better then Spit 5, But G2 is clearly outperforms it.
Actually G2 is faster and climbs better then Spit 9 too but at least it is closer.
Limited Typhoon will not really help.


Shouldn't be there at least one fast plane for RAF not only turnfighters - maybe P47D11 or something other for BnZ?
Maybe put Typhoon at more bases?

Add Boom & Zoomer figter for RAF plz ;)

If ya let the balance dog out of it's cage ,we'll end up with another MA type setup.  Looks to me like Fork did his homework for this. Heck theres probably too many choices for both sides as it is. Balance is in the eye of the beholder anyway.

There were no P-47 groups in England in the summer of 42. In fact I don't think there were any P-38 groups in England at this time. Not that we have an early P-38 to put in anyway. If there was another FG besides the 4th FG in the UK , they were probably flying spits as well.

Spit IX would have been available only in the latter part of '42, in limited quantities, so following "normal" CT prcedure they'd have to be perked :)

I think it is funny that in recent past post the axis complain about having only one or two fighters to fight against four or five allied fighters...well, now this is thier map and plane set. Allies have the Spit V and Hurricane vs four axis planes. And, of course, the axis pilots can do the "running" this week. :rofl

oh wait, I guess the Typhoon will be used as soon as the axis guys capture bases so it can be in oldman's furballing distance from the fight:eek:

You whine about everything

Count umm again

Hurricane IIC&D + 2 (the 2d sux but its a fighter)
Spitfire V + 1
Typhoon* + 1

To

Bf 109F-4 + 1
Bf 109G-2 + 1
Bf 110G-2 + 1
Bf 110C-4 + 1 (technically its a Bf 110C-4b Fighter-bomber)

Typhie is the fastest plane and has 4 hizookas.

The Hurri IIc and Spit 5 while slow can out fly any of the 2 109s.

Then the A20g will be flown as a fighter and check its top speed while your at it. The B26 is fast and defended well.

You piss and moan about everything and must suck if you can’t do well flying allied planes this set up. Overall it looks like fun to me.

I would suggest including the 190a5 as a sub for the a3 since their performance is so similar but its no big deal.
