RE: Filler Names

<r> Hi Hard Sarge, maybe I'm blinder than a bat has a right to be, but I can't seem to find this guy in the game:<br/>

Wilde Sau, how to make it work ?

<t> Hi all, small question.<br/>
<br/>
I currently play the germans in the 700 turn BtR campaign. Doing allright so far, except that my nighfighters are absolutely horrid at intercepting stuff.<br/>
I understand that with window and jamming in effect, my radar intercepts will be really really ...

RE: Does Pilot Nationality Effect Availability?

<r> <I><s>[i]</s>some units will be odd, as they will have higher ranks flying then in command (the RAF had Wing Leaders, who will fly with Squadrons instead of the whole wing, so a RAF Squadron may have a GC flying, while the Squadron has a SL in command) <e>[/i]</e></I> <br/>

Indeed, there ...

RE: Suggestions for future patches

<t> I second the ETA for the waypoints.<br/>
<br/>
One other feature I would like to see would be to add a message log.<br/>
Instead (or perhaps in addition to) all the various messages appearing briefly in the middle of the screen, why not have a message log in the bottom of the window that ...

RE: German Night Fighters and their Radar

One strange thing I noticed is that if my Bf110 unit has the FuG 212 according to its unit overview, and I add extra cannons to the planes, switching them to the R-type, then the unit will lose its radar upgrade and degrade itself to the FuG 202!

RE: Ta-152H in January 1944?

<t> On the other hand, 12 aircraft a day equals about 360 across a month. The Ta152 becomes availiable normally in December 44, so 300 aircraft pr month would see the scheduled availiability date be pushed 3 months forward for every month of research. As you did around 3 months, you should have ...

BoB - AI luftwaffe not using all resources ?

<r> Hi all, brought the game as soon as I saw it was out and just managed to beat back the Luftwaffe from Britian. Bit of a worried time around turn 25 when my spitfire stocks dropped below 15 and I had to switch the hurricanes to fighter attack, but apart from that it went relatively smoothly<br ...

RE: Something for debate

<r> I'm guessing that you're refeering to the late-war idea of LW pilots who flew up to intentionally ram a bomber and bring it down. I've heard them refeered to as Raubvogel (Bird of Prey).<br/>
<br/>
I recall that the old LucasArt game "Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe" had an interview with a ...

RE: Unit Nameing

<t> Disregarding for a moment the AI side of things, I would suggest that it depends on what sort of flavor you want the list of aircraft units to impress upon the german player. <br/>
A neat orderly list of squadrons with progressive squadron numbers will lend the appearance of a well-structured ...

RE: B-29

<t> What you could do is first release the "base" game with the feature list you have on the table, and then start work on a fantasy expansion which contains a number of fantasy scenarios or expanded/early scenarios. Kinda like they did with IL-2 with the 1946 expansion. Or Paradox has done with ...

RE: Filler Names

Hehe, thanks, the joke is actually that I do have a PPL pilot's license (took it in florida 2 years ago), but I'm -4,5 (quite nearsighted) on both eyes so have to fly with glasses or contact lenses. So I commonly joke that I fly by sonar/radar, like a bat [:'(]

RE: Filler Names

<r> Long time lurker here, hello all, I must say I was very pleased to see that BoB/OTR/USAAF (I played that on my C64, good times!) is getting a rework.<br/>
