All water is at 0 Ft altitude.

Unless you know of a way to make a dam that doesn't change the level of water (I call that a bridge), then I don't think you'll see a dam in the game.

if someone blows said dam up what happens to all the sheep in the firing line??

How would the water flood be modelled? it would be a killer on any sort of frame rates.  I think it would be neat to have but if we are only just getting animated /reflective water think how rushing water over terrain would be done and then the water level would have to return to normal and the dam fixed.   Does this just pop like objects do now  (think SB) or would it gradually repair itself and cut back on the water torrent??

First we would need the correct Lancaster as the ones used for those missions were specially modified.

I just watched the movie again the other day. The guy who played Wing C/O Gibson was actually a decorated paratrooper in the war.

Great film, all things considered. Some great Lancaster shots. http://www.dambusters.org.uk/about.htm

Well spotted!
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB
