Eagle Day

Post by langley »

Nice screen shots of bombing the Reich!
However any change of some screen shots of Eagle day?

Also while reading Spitfire mark I/II Aces 1939-41 by Osprey a few points come to my attention:-

(1) Spitfire MkIa Max speed should be 353mph at 20,000ft, service ceiling of 34,000ft.
The Talonsoft manual states the Max speed as 362mph which is Ok for only the very early Mk1.

(2) The Spitfire MkIIa began to enter service with 611 sqn in August 1940, by the end September 19,74 and 266 Squadrons were also Operating this version.

Would it be possible to add an upgrade button to each Squadron which players can choose to use if they wish!
Can we also see the MkIIa added to the 1940 Database and the Spitfire MkIa speed changed as well.

I have been fairly certain that the designers of the original BoB got confused over the MkIB and the MkII Spit.

They gave the MkIb to 611 who actually had MkII. Then made it so other units could change over to the IB as production allowed.

The Ib actually went to 19 Sqn, who used just about all these type that were produced, before dumping them for the original Mk1As.

data base, OOB and changes for BoB are still very early

at the very least, I hope to have all the plane types redone, to reflect better info

we do hope to have more models added in and some other goodies

we do hope to have both games to have the same interface (hopeing)

so if the player can do this or that in BTR, they can also do the same in BoB

biggest hassle with part of the stats in the game are they are based on, best, so while Plane A may have a best speed at 18000, Plane B will have a best speed at 23000 and so on

we got something for that, but...
