Battle Of Britain: The Channel battles

(http://www.anglican.ca/amo/files/2010/08/battle_of_britain_vc.jpg)

=============================================================
10 July–11 August: Kanalkampf, ("the Channel battles").
 
The Kanalkampf comprised a series of running fights over convoys in the English Channel and occasional attacks on the convoys by Stuka dive-bombers. It was launched partly because Kesselring and Sperrle were not sure about what else to do, and partly because it gave German aircrews some training and a chance to probe the British defences. In general, these battles off the coast tended to favour the Germans, whose bomber escorts massively outnumbered the convoy patrols. The need for constant patrols over the convoys put a severe strain on RAF pilots and machines, wasting fuel, engine hours and exhausting the pilots, but eventually the number of ship sinkings became so great the British Admiralty cancelled all further convoys through the Channel. However, these early combat encounters provided both sides with experience. They also gave the first indications some of the aircraft, such as the Defiant and Bf 110, were not up to the intense dog-fighting that would characterise the battle.

What do you mean "now"?  The AvA, and its predecessor the CT, periodically had setups in which perk points were used to control access to certain units.

Either way its a 1940 setup, no perk rides are even semi relevant..

There are no perked rides, the fw190 is disabled and does not belong in the setup.  The planes enabled are listed above.

This is the 'first' phase of the Battle of Britain some times known as 'The Channel Battle'.

The Battle of Britain can be divided into four parts:
 10 July–11 August: Kanalkampf, ("the Channel battles").
 12 August–23 August: Adlerangriff ("Eagle Attack"), the early assault against the coastal airfields.
 24 August–6 September: the Luftwaffe targets the airfields. The critical phase of the battle.
 7 September onwards: the day attacks switch to British towns and cities.

:headscratch:

Iv'e never seen perk rides enabled in AvA, that would really only work if we could set our own perk prices as many setups are time period specific like this one which features early spits and Hurricanes vs early 109's, 110's and Ju88's.

for you people that missed it, AZ was right. it was a matter of fixing settings and removing aircraft. the spit5's, tbm's, F4f's, 109f4's,190a5's,and  ju88s were all still in the setup. its all set now, i fixed it last night. all he was doing was trying to get a CM's attention. apparently he got more then he bargained for. its all set now. perkies are off, planes have been removed and the correct setup is in place........Carry ON!

You are trying to kill the AvA?

No one is trying to kill anything. Just trying to find out what we can do that will appeal to the largest number of players.

But I thought "AZ was right".

Man it was a joke, you're all turning into a bunch of emotional basket cases.   :)

its pretty much irrelevant since its a new week and a new setup, but the arena was skewed and i fixed it. pretty simple.
