Overall interesting game, but seemed to random for battles to me. I sent 1 Spit against 11 enemies and he shoots em all down. Then later i send 4 guys against 2 a JU-88 and a 109 and i lose 3 planes. Very inconsistent fighting, this is the biggest drawback to the game.

I would love to know how the combat system works, cause i had 4 spitfires defend against 5 messershmidts and 6 junkers, and 2 spits were left. But my force of 9 spitfires was shot down by 3 messers and 6 junkers, and they had 1 messer and 2 junkers left. All in all, its a great game, but the combat should be a little less random

uhm design problem found!the bombers in every area in this game shouldnt have any fighter escort except for south east because due to limited fuel capacity the fighter escort would turn back just a little bit offshore in britain.I would recomend a sequel plz its a nice game!

they actually made a ranking system for Jet/Fighter Pilots if you get up to 8 kills in each dogfight you are ranked an Ace, the Red Baron is the worlds bestest pilot having around 75-80*forgot* CONFIRMED kills

So I keep trying the math in my head and I just cant figure out how I keep getting all these negatives. I even managed to lose planes I did not even send into the fight.

How is it that even though the workers don't do anything (they're sick), they still used up several tons of scrap metal?

If you would tweak this a bit it would be a fun game. For instance, having morale hit an all time low on the day the Germans surrendered suggests something is off. Winning without any city dropping to 50% or even close suggests its too easy. Firemen are never needed. Etc. Still, fun game.

The combat system makes no sense how can 2 of their fighters take down 7 of mine when i had 10 AND then 1 of their fighters survived!?!?

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice well crafted game. Seems like it's missing an R&D option, but maybe that could be in a sequel.

Though Matador was a little... loud... in his complaint, i really have to agree. I sent a Spitfire and a Hurricane into battle with two Heinkel bombers, and lost the Spitfire. I seriously doubt that the two massive, sluggish, and lightly armed bombers could have shot down either of those planes. I think that the combat generator could be changed, and better consider that Spitfires were excellent fighters, and many of the British pilots at the start of the fight were skilled aces.

Has anyone actually gotten the "finest hour" medal yet? I've played likely over 500 games and have never had a wave of over 20 bombers ever show up. If anyone happens to know how to set the conditions up please share

In the sequal, it can be about something like cold war, vietnam war afghanistan etc. where we not only defend but also attack enemy cities and we if we destroyed all their cities. And also different types of forces like paratroopers, tank and ships for coastal areas. It can also include more than 1 war/ country. Hope to see these in sequal. Hit + if you agree

The game is pretty easy. Your tactic should include at least 80% intelligence effectiveness, with decent plane production and metal gathering. All damages should be repaired right after it was done and get at least 2 recruiters per turn until you hit 20.
More tips:
- If you have a lot of pilots and not enough metal build Hurricanes and if the other way build Spitfires.
-Never lose more then 40% per raid.Use firefighters to cover the difference.
-Always outnumber your opponent. It will cut down your losses.
-You dont have to defend all of your attacked provinces.
-Avoid attacking to large force. It is better to use firefighters to minimize damages.
-Protect South East first and then other provinces if your numbers can stretch to cover more provinces (depends on attacking forces)
Good luck and have fun!

I love the concept behind the game, and it's got great potential, but... seeing my numerically superior squadron of Spitfires get shot down in droves by a few Ju-87s is... disheartening, to say the least. As has been said, the airplane ability advantage should be clearly in the favour of the British, as even the stellar Bf-109 did poorly in the actual Battle of Britain due to lack of fuel for dogfighting. Not that I'd necessarily agree that the Bf-109 (or the under appreciated Fw-190) was better than a Spitfire or Hurricane even on equal ground, to say nothing of Spitfires and Hurricanes being shot down in large numbers by bombers, particularly Ju-87s (It would be like said Bf-109s or Fw-190s being slaughtered by Fairey Battles).
So, to sum up: British planes should be stronger, but pretty well outnumbered. I want a sense of my brave pilots and civilians struggling on heroically in the face of grim odds, not the sense of "Wow, my planes are terrible."
In the meantime, Achtung Spitfire!

I'm not sure if it's actually built in, but I find that my spitfires perform best if they're just a bit outnumbered. I always get good kill ratios when I start off outnumbered, but if I overwhelmingly outnumber them they will smash my entire force

It's a surprisingly good game considering the simplicity of it.
There seems to be something wrong with the math regarding scrap metal though (I seemed to have more scrap metal than expected at all times).
Some suggestions:
* Rebuilding could be harder
* Firemen could be *slightly* more effective, or the cost of recruiting them should be lower

@sukoi during the blitz the RAF had to let Coventry be bombed to pieces without doing anything about it, as they only knew about the impending attack because they had cracked the enigma code and protecting it would have given away the element of suprise.

Suggestions:
Spitfires should be more likely to attack fighters first, hurricanes should be more likely to attack bombers. This reflects how they were used during the battle. It should mean a combined force would have a purpose.
The enemy planes should be drawn from a pool. In such a way if you concentrate bombers later attacks will contain more fighters.

Not a bad little game but two of the achievements are based purely on luck. Sending 1 plane out against 3 enemies and surviving and the one for shooting down 20 bombers in one raid. I've played through the thing 3 times now and have never had 20 bombers show up in one raid and never had a single plane survive attacking 3 enemies (tried that one about 20 times so far). Still like the game though! 3/5

I really hate the fact that a squadron of 5 nazi planes can destroy 14 of mine, historically, bombers were easy meat for fighters, espacially when they only havd one plane escorting them

Achievements dont work. I sent out 50 planes and didnt get awarded with the "send out 50 or more planes" medal. then i sent out 51 - in case 50 is not "50 or more"... didn't receive the medal. then i sent out 20 planes in one day in each 3 different battles. still nothing. :(
and the medal "prevent a raid containing 20 bombers from dropping 1 single bomb" is nonsense. never happened that 20 bombers came for me...
this game is badly balanced and too buggy for more than 3 stars. 2 stars for cool idea, 1 star for graphics.
not more.
keep on working on this game, dude.

You should Add the number of planes about to attack each area on the areas map. I hate having to go back and forth from the intelligence screen.

It _IS_ a good concept.
However, it is FAR too random. I send two spitfires against 4 fighters and 6 bombers and shot down all but 1 bomber, with one spitfire surviving, and another time 6 spitfires against 2 fighters and 1 bomber and all of mine get shot down? Now, i have nothing against some "randomness" when it comes to things as air dogfights of the era, but SOME consistency would be appreciable.
As would be slightly more options. Let my split my intelligence between finding intel and affecting random events. Start me with hurricans and let me "research" better models/weaponry. Make combat more clear and less random.(e.g. 2 rounds of fire, one fighter vs. fighter, second your fighter versus their bombers, their fighters against your fighters)...

this game really needs to let you manually save unless you send out all 4 of your pilots and they all die...game over

I placed one spitfire in the East Coast and it knocked down around 4 enemy bombers (spread between two waves) before I added 3 more spitfires. Those 3 were shot down the next wave, without killing anything. That one spitfire killed 4 more bombers in that same wave. I think I have a god on my side.
