deserves a sequel, but I wish that you could play longer. I will just get a ton of pilots to fly my hoard of 36 spitfires, but the game will end.

Barely won the game, almost lost South East and gave up defending West Coast, what didn't get attacked once after I abandoned it's defences. Ended up losing around 212 planes and shotdown 310. Better kill-death ratio (for British) than in the actual Battle for Britain.

Great game, i would love badges. And it would be cool if you could get more recruits each day. Another thing, make fire fighters more useful because they didn't seem to be protecting and reducing damage as much as they should have.

How, in God's name, does the factory work? I have all my men allocated to Spitfires but I keep receiving around 13 Hurricanes per day. O_O

For the first turns ONLY recruit recruiters until you have 20, then recruit builders to repair and then spies and firefighters to prevent damage. Put the rest into gatherers and workers. And then get your pilots much later when you have overwhelming numbers and 100% intelligence.

I'm wondering how the boop I'm supposed to be able to beat twice as many German planes as the number of British ones I'm sending out in a single day, unless every single one of my British pilots is doing the "you miraculously survive 1 vs 3" achievement...

War is a terrible thing. I belive this game captures the whole thing. I found myself saluting those pilots that were shot down. I would like to make a special tribute to those brave men and women who gave their lives for this country. Please rate this comment up so others may see this.

Won on day 37. I like the 'ace pilot' suggestion - ground an ace as a super recruiter (85% or better success rate?) or let them fly with a low chance of getting shot down. I like the idea of permitting more recruiters, perhaps on day 15. A major obstacle to a game based on the Battle of Britain is the PSYCHOLOGY of the game set-up, mainly finding ways to increase the player's awareness that they are making progress, that things are improving. Anti-aircraft artillery ... where is that in the defensive structure?

the rule is simple: don't fight
1 enemy fighter with 2 bombers will shoot 6-7 of your 8 best planes...
so just focuse on recon and repair
not too much of a flight game is it?

i love how i send in 23 spotfires and 14 hurricanes at 5 planes. and when the 5 are dead, the rest of my planes flying by are shot down. lol

A very interesting game.
For any who think it is difficult, it is likely you are trying to fight every wave of incoming enemy wave.
As in World War two do not get suckered in to fight the fighter heavy waves, target and kill the easier bomber heavy waves. Early game you can even just let the enemy bomb you a round or two in order to build up forces.

pretty terrible game pretty much game in a nutshell, Overpowered enemies and to few plans and to many areas to defend

Not enough control or action, and not compelling enough of a building engine/sim. I was really looking forward to a good plane shooter when I saw the title.

Wow...apparently their bombers are so awesome that when it's 5 spitfires on 1 german bomber, one of my planes die along with the pilot...Exactly how am I supposed to be having fun with the game with the numbers so heavily rigged against me. Such as I lost 6 spitfires in one turn, to them loosing 2 fighters and 5 bombers. 2/5 till game is fixed.

Why the hell do I keep losing every single dogfight?!?! That is completely inaccurate as the Spitfires were far better planes than the Messers. I call bullcrap on the combat generator on this game.

The main Problem of the game is that enemy shots seem to invisibly stick in the air until a new is fired.
Enemy planes last bullet successfully shoots down a plane: the Bullet will stick in the air and kill anything crossing its position until a new shot is fired by the enemy plane. If the enemy plane is shot down, its last bullet will stick in the air and still kill stuff crossing that position.

Explain this: "Spitfires are better than Hurricanes but cost more to buid."
cost to build spitfire: 250 kg
cost to build hurricane:500 kg
it also seems that hurricanes ae the better plane in this game
