Battle of Britain scenario is epic

[asterix]

Huge thanks to everyone who made this event happen, it was truly epic. Just kept wanting more and more, so many different situations, experiences and feelings you go through in that 12 hour span. There were epic scenes when diving in for the bomber formations, fighting in huge furballs, looking at big groups of planes maneuvering on a map before combat and being completely overwhelmed by incoming information etc. Got everything I asked for and more from this event. Special thanks to BFOOT1 for being a great squad leader. I will try to register the next time to make the job easier for the leaders and organizers.

Keep the screenshots, gun camera compilations, stories etc coming.

Man scenarioas are about 3,000% better then the MA!  Really makes you wish the early/mid war or AvA arenas had life in them.  I must say, with the graphics turned all the way up and icons turned off the absolutely massive formation of HE111's and JU87's being escorted by 109's and 110's was beautiful!

You lasted longer than me.  I had to give up about 1:30 am as my shoulders and back of my neck were aching badly, as well as being extremely tired.

There should be an achievement for 12 hours in VR.   

Excellent event. Everyone did a great job.

Epic, is the right word.  What a great way to pend a Saturday with my friends

This is the game right here.  When we get or new players from Steam in to this they will stay a looooong time in the game.  Great job everyone, let's do this again <S>

I fully understand how you was feeling, Flossy.... I made for the first 6 hours and said I was going to rest for  about 2 hours and come back... Bad idea, for the resting turned into becoming more aches and pains and stiffening up in my neck, shoulder elbow and hand on my right side....i was bummed out... Next time if I'm around, I'll just push through it and keep going until I am not able to continue...

Was awesome fun and good fights/flying on both sides

Thank you for creating this scenario for the AH community members, Nefarious! It is greatly appreciated

Being 1:30 in the morning also had a bearing on it; if it had been earlier in the evening I would have probably kept going as I did last time.  Last night though I really didn't think I could last until 5:00 am.  This getting older lark doesn't help either.  LOL

You mean the hardest day. Not Battle of Britain.

Hey guys I made this newspaper, because back then it was very popular for both sides to announce the major battles that happened over Britain. Hope you all enjoy! 

Edit: It may be hard to read so you may have to zoom in. Yesterday was epic! I thoroughly enjoyed the constant dofights with you Luftwaffe boys. My favorite fight was the fight we had on the deck with multiple 109's just north of Biggin Hill. Odee, and I, were turn fighting what seemed to be 20 109's and 110's. I know JG3, JG51, JG52, and ZG1 were in the fight based on the logs. I bagged one of the 109's, but there were so many Odee and I were just in constant turn fights. Then the 110's came down for the BnZ, and some of them were involved in the turning fight as well. It was the best fighting I've had on the deck in a long time. Kudos to Kanth who got me, and the rest of you that got pieces of me 

Edit: I played around and got what is pictured above for, in my opinion, something that looks 100x's better.
