Incendiary bombs load-out option for Lancs.

Sure, if you don't mind flying low.

At night ... in a Lanc? Why not? Just not too low.  ;)

What are you guys thinking, bombers GV battle?
As Nef said, RAF vs. Luft. RAF mostly did night bombing but did not do so with much escort other than some Mossies or possibly other fighters here and there as the war went on.

This of course creates an issue with plane/fighter balance and would require some fabrication to make it so. Even then, we just ran an FSO with the Lancaster subbed in for a Short Stirling and with 109E/109F fighters for defense, the Lancs did not do that well. It largely depended on escort, but I can't fathom flying a Lancaster with escort versus 190s and later 109s.

As I said, IMO the biggest issue is the ability to circumvent the 'night time' by adjusting gamma. Gamma can be adjusted so much that it is as bright as day time with an awful looking sky. I would be willing to press on with an event of that type if we could 'lock' gamma settings in the arena, but even then I am sure there are 3rd party programs to get around it.

Gamma is a front end hardware setting and can't be 'locked' in an arena. Sorry.

It is hard to be accurate and balanced in a night raid. That is the major issue. The night time issue is secondary.

Fights at dusk or after were fun on the old KOTH map just because you had that big ol' Death Star up there.
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.
