Either 920 or 921 Spitfire IIs were produced, depending on which authors you believe.

So, many more than N1KI's :D

Back to a point about the radio. In RL that was of importance. The Mk II was supposedly a good leap ahead there (new aircraft supplied with upgraded sets),- anyway, point being that the Mk II could hold on to the controller much better.

Imagine AH featuring this, hehe. Crackling 109 radios, non-functional A6M radios etc....

The Mk II probably had the finest set in the world at it's prime. Pity about the carburettor though....

Any Spit expert here that knows more of this?

Okay, things are looking down for the 303rd coming in 88s. We dont have the pilots. But maybe we will take 109s... Are Focke Wulfs going to be used? (I am not going to use one, I just want to know if the 109 will be the only Deutsch-Fighter)

I'll have to climb back into the ride for a few weeks to knock the rust off.  ;)

My current ride in the MA is a 190F8 or A8.  The crazy part is having flown the mk1 for that long straight helped me quite a bit when moving over to the 190 8 series aircraft.  Have no idea why as they don't do anything the same well.  :D

I seem to recall that you beat me up pretty good when we could fight 1 on 1 up near A3 on some map, was a blast to try to find eachother on private text :)

Really looking forward to another BoB :D  Would like to have one running alot but then we might burn out on it so it's ok that we don't get a BoB all the time ;)

Reynolds, the Fw190 was a year after the BoB.
So, the German fighters are the 190E and the 110C versus the HurryI and the SpitI.
Registration has probably started and I belive there is a link if you browse up the thread.

Actually it hasn't, yet. Keep an eye on the Scenario forum, they'll let us know when the registration starts.

They want to get the CO teams in place before opening general pilots to join, I believe.

Hey, can someone PM me when registration does start? I want to bring my patheticly tiny squad into it. Ignore what the server says, we only have 5 active pilots. We need at least 8. :cry

Reynolds, the way it works is you just bring as many as you have. If the actual squad size is 8 and you only have 5, they will try to put all 5 in the same squad of plane-types, then add 3 more from whoever else signed up. You don't have to fill it all yourself.

Yeah, I would just prefer to fill it myself. I have a strange obsession with proper numbers.
