The Blitz has been officially called off, but JU88s from IV.NJG and their 110 escorts from ZG26 have been tasked to raid the docks of London and secondary target to keep the RAF busy on their own side of The Channel.

The RAF Polish squadron No. 315 is just getting aquainted with their Hurricane IIcs and have been scrambled to intercept incoming planes approaching The Channel.

This looks like fun! Think I would like to try my hand at radar intercept.

Didn't the radar have some means of determining altitude though? Is there some special feature for that in AH? Or is it going to be up to the pilots to find them altitude wise?

See ya up!
I'll see if I can get my squadron there.

Cheers,
Spitter

Spitter,

Yes, they did have a primative way of giving alt, and no it does not exist in AH. There are icons though 8-)

I would love to see searchlights, barrage ballons, engine exhaust glow, instrument lights and no icons in a future release.

Night fighting in an accurate setting is a big part of the WWII experience.

See you there.
