BOB'08 Planes!
« on: December 05, 2007, 05:50:03 PM »
How's this for a wish?

How about remodeling the Hurricane Mk.I, the bf110C, and maybe the Ju88, with the possibility of adding an He111 (optional) before BOB'08?

It's tradition to run BOB every 2 years as a scenario!

You know it's coming, most likely toward the end of the year. We've got just enough time to remodel the key players in this setup!!

Scenario events can be any number of setups, but it's a mini-tradition (if you look at the patterns, '02 from what I hear, '04, and '06, we have run Battle of Britain. I hope/expect another in '08!)

So, we have time to get these key BOB players up-to-snuff before the event takes place!

I would love to see more planes re-modeled. These aren't the ones I would like to see re-modeled first but I'll take what I can get.

Having the He111 would make BoB that much more awesome. It is already the best (IMO) scenario I've played so far.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Ju88A-3 for BOB, but that wouldn't really apply to anything but BOB, and would handicap the JU for any other role (including MA).

I think we need several key "early" bombers, among them He111, G3M "Nell" and G4M "Betty," but I don't think we'll see any of them anytime soon.

(Not at this pace :D )

There's reason to believe Krusty is correct:

It seems Bob maps are, "Due for a face-lift." I wonder why?:cool:

Well in BOB'06 they changed the way radar stations showed up. Instead of bombing the tower itself, you now had to bomb the electronics building, and they'd have the huge wide antenna arrays, not the single tower. It was a custom object addition and would have looked sweet (from what I was told). However it was not done in time for BOB'06 so we used the original '04 map. I'm guessing the "facelift" is finally getting these new custom radar towers built into it and getting it out for everybody.

They never came out, but I know they were done, so I think that's the major change.

Don't read too much into it, guys... all terrains undergo a facelift at some point.

But, yes... I'd love to get some proper Chain Home and white cliffs in there. :)
