wow, I have almost absolutely no desire to come back to the AvA anymore after reading all this

Actually the first 109Ts were operational by 1941...

1941 Operational date.  1939 BoB

Somewhere in there is the point.

[Shifty]

Actually BOB was 1940. Since they're flying 109Es off CV's and not T's , and we're flying land based Spits, Hurris, and friggin Bostons off CV's... I still don't see the point.
Other than our side is a bigger slap against realism than theirs... Now exactly what is your point?

British historians date the battle from 10 July to 31 October 1940, which represented the most intense period of daylight bombing. German historians usually place the beginning of the battle in mid-August 1940 and end it in May 1941, on the withdrawal of the bomber units in preparation for the attack on the USSR.

This is not a historical re-enactment of the Battle of Britain.

[Anaxogoras]

This is not a historical re-enactment of the Battle of Britain.

So why did the AvA staff advertise is as such?  Why was it called the "Battle of Britain?"  You can put lipstick on a pig, but...  What we have is a Main Arena with an early war plane-set, too many people in gv's, and one side gets 3 cv's that respawn when destroyed, while the other gets one cv that doesn't respawn when destroyed.  When dissected that way and not dressed up as something cool and historical, no one would ever think it was a good idea.  I'm sorry, I respect what you guys do for us, but this was a big mistake.  The AvA staff can bring credit upon themselves by admitting it and moving on.
