1-50 stukas and 1-30 heinkell hell bombers is going to attack xxxxxxxxx,xxxxxxxx,xxxxxx,xxxxxxxxx or xxxxxxxx. seriously I would rather know where there attacking then how many are attacking.

A little more consistency with plane vs plane combat would be nice.
Watching 4 fighters and 2 bombers wipe out 25 of my Spitfires was definitely a wtf moment.
Especially since it then took me 4 days to get my fighter compliment back up to where I could defend effectively.

If it was just a little bit less random, I think it'd make it a great game. It is indeed supposed to seem hard : somehow I felt desperate and hopeless, surely how the Brit's felt desperate and hopeless during the war, but rethinking the random patterns, maybe adding a 'storyline' would help the out the game.
Random : it's the only thing I have to say about the game. Otherwise, it's a great game.

Put North in Top Middle, SE in Bottom right, SW in bottom left, E in Top right, London in bottom, and midlands in top left.

damn i won its harder at the star my advice is stick to spitfires and builders will save your life, and remember you can move your guys around a firemen can be builder and vice versa, but not the pilots

Not to bad, But after I waste a bunch of planes I shouldn't have moral go down, That should happen after I suffer heavy losses. so only 2/5 for a game with a little more effort could have been 5/5

i think the recruitment cap should be lifted from 20 to 30. At max capacity each day you get 8-12 new recruits but even if you outnumber the enemy 2-1 and are using all spitfires you can easily lose this many and more in a single day.
I understand the number cap is there to stop the game from becoming too easy but to get around this you could remove the cap and just have diminishing returns for each extra recruiter you hire. That way you have to invest large numbers of people into that resource to get a decent number of new recruits each day.

The only thing that bugs me is that if you send a concentrated force it gets blown up like a turkey shootout, and vice versa. Otherwise, great game.

1 Hurricane beats 2 fighters and 2 bombers, leaving one through. However, 1 spitfire against 1 Messerschmidt and 1 Junker, yet they lose without downing any enemy aircraft... What?

Combat is ridiculously random. Losing five spitfires because a single ME109 pilot knows how to do a barrel roll and mine don't is totally not cool, especially when everything I have has such a high investment cost.

There should be a German version of this. And also build AA guns. but seriously 1 spitfire takes down 10 messchimitts and 5 stoikas and then 5 spitfires cant take down 1 messchimitt and 2 stoikas. Game needs serious Re-balancing and just making planes is a bit boring so you should also be able to make barrage balloons and more planes because there where loads more planes apart from the spitfire and the hurricane, they were just the best known planes. Press + so Rob Almighty can see this post and make a better Version. Good Game though.

Please fix the combat system, having one spitfire carve its way through 5 german planes then having three spitfires die after taking down one bomber... its just not...

There should be one where you are germany getting bombed by Britain instead of the other way round. and how the heck can a hurricane take down 5 mass-whatchamecallit and 10 dossers and 5 spitfires cant?!?! needs to be a bit more realistic

Love the game. Only issue s the fact that, for example, when I defended with 40 planes against 10 I lost 25 planes? Is the loss calculated as a percentage? I seem to loose much less if I go max 2 to 1. If I go more then that the plane( and pilot) losses are almost game breaking. 4,5/5

@frenchdude The defiant was more suited to attacking bombers and was actually used in The BoB whilst the spits and hurricanes took the fighter escorts the defiants attacked the bombers

The fact that of 26 aircraft only 6 survived shows that the developed does not place much faith in the famed Hawker Hurricane.

13. After you take 250 German planes, Put all of your Recruiters into Gathering and Working to load up on planes for the final push. Then put gatherers into building and pilots. This is to have massive numbers to match German massive numbers and put you over 300 faster.
These things get me to 300 in about 33 - 35 turns. But I got 32 turns only once. Can't figure how one gets less than that.

Tips for beginners:
1. At the start, put all 4 planes in the South East and all 10 recruits into Recruiters.
2. Max out Recruiters asap.
3. Build Hurricanes at first, but don't build more than 10 before you switch all building to Spitfires.
4. Protect the South East at all costs! That is your base of intelligence gathering, and if it is hit, your intelligence suffers greatly. Rebuild asap!
5. Builders rebuild at about 6%+. More builders in one city increase the rate slightly. But they can die in bombing raids.
6. Don't use firemen. Waste of manpower.
7. You can let cities go unrepaired a little while, but don't lose any. Repair in big chunks at one time to make efficient use of builders.
8. Important: Let the first few rounds go, except to protect the South East, and build airplanes, then train pilots. You need large numbers of pilots and planes to win.
9. After you start fighting for real, build up your spies to target incoming more efficiently.
