First Scenario of 2013

[Gnatz]

Will happily fly in this one -- I may die, but it's GLORIOUS (and a little embarrassing for the allies  ) when StukaMob scores hits.

StukaMob FTW!!

Gnatzor

[Condor11]

I was considering the stuka. Especially if we get lives as 88s aswell

[Gnatz]

Aye, the possibility of a 2nd life in a Ju88 would certainly make Stuka one heckuva lot more attractive!

[Tank-Ace]

Please. Real men don't die in stukas.


Honestly, some of the best times in FSO is when I got stuck in a bomber, and had to fight/escape defenders.

Originally I had thought not too, but it looks like 1 life in an 87 and 1 in an 88 sounds like the way to go.

Personally i like the idea simply because i really like both bombers, but given one life ju88s would be far more decent survivabilty against the allie planeset. Hate to climb like a brick only to be intercepted by everything with wings

Will the introduction of the Sea Hurricane to the game change the Hurricane model we will be flying in the upcoming scenario?

Will the introduction of the Sea Hurricane to the game change the Hurricane model we will be flying in the upcoming scenario?

I'd say we have exactly the model and even the skin we want:

"The Sea Hurricane is from 800 Naval Air Squadron based on the carrier HMS Indomitable during Operation Pedestal, the RN's costly supply mission to Malta in August 1942. This aircraft was flown by 800 Squadron's CO, Lt Cdr Bill Bruen. On the 12th August Bruen shot down three enemy bombers in this aircraft to bring his score up to seven."

Confused the heck outta me until I realized there must be an update.

Gotta be the the Sea Hurricane under these circumstances

Gotta be the the Sea Hurricane under these circumstances

Woohoo!  This will be awesome.  Breaking in a new bird in it's first scenario.

According to Greebo the sea huri is a Ib Ic hybrid with the 8 303 or 4 20mm option.  So, definitely sea hurricane.. if it has been released.

[Stampf]

Any word on how many aircraft will make up a Luftwaffe Gruppe of Bf109F-4's ?

[Fencer51]

How many would you like it to be..

[Stampf]

How many would you like it to be..

 

I would like it to be an ever increasing number...because so many people register and show up that we can't even accommodate them all...of course.   

Short of that...seeing as you so graciously asked... I am a fan of larger units, as I think you might guess...similar to the ones we just had in DGSII.

Full staffeln of 16 is ideal for my personal situation and likes, and my preferred number in Scenarios. 

Of course...some scenario battlefield conditions may demand a less concentrated, and more numerous dispersal of available/projected forces.  In that case I favor a lesser number over one that is only slightly reduced. 

Staffeln of 12, I have found to be difficult to fully staff in this situation across the front(s), thus working against both concentration, and dispersal situations...

So I would prefer many staffeln of 8 aircraft in a situation calling for dispersal of numerous units across a large front.

It comes down to looking at what you would like to see vs, what you project you will see, in terms of attendance, against the minimum needs of the scenario as far as playability, and doing what you think will be best for all in the event.  Some situations may enable units of all sizes...as a designer your judgement and organization of forces is second to none.
