Part 3: Now, to the game's developer, "Rob Almighty": Well Done, Sir! 4 out of 5 stars easily! In addition to Xenod's comments, I'd like to add this main one to the mix: How about a 2-player version with the second player in control of the Luftwaffe's staffeln (that's "squadrons", FYI). ["Sheesh! What a show-off!" he mutters under his breath as he quietly chuckles]. To do that, though, it'd probably really complicate the "Intelligence" coding quite a bit. But, think of the fun the German player could have trying to outwit & trick the RAF's defences into wrong moves. A German winner clears the RAF from the skies and the invasion of Britain begins. What the Royal Navy has to say about that is a whole 'nuther game. ;>)

Part 2: First off, great Kudos to "PhoenixW" for the detailed pointers, secondly, thanks to "mpsr" for the +\- button hint and thirdly, I also like & am in full agreement with most of "Xenod's" points with the exception of "...just have a lot more German planes attack as the game goes on...". Xenod, "duderoblox"s comment is kinda sorta right about increasing the amount of Luftwaffe planes. Keep in mind the fact that the Battle of Britain occured roughly during the middle to latter half of 1940 and the German General Staff were already planning ahead for the invasion of Russia less than a year away in June, '41. Not even mentioning the fact that Fighter Command was doing its best at shooting them down as fast as they could (which, as it turned out later, to be about 1.5 German aircraft for every British plane, statistically speaking).

Wait let me get this straight... My six or so planes were shot down by a lone enemy pilot? I guess he must have done a barrel roll or something... Wish our pilots could do that.

The game is highly addictive and really sets the feel of desperation. I managed to win the first time(though it took around 55 days) round and before I knew it I had spent many hours playing the game!

Nice, strategic game, even though a bit buggy. I lost Midlands, day 41, refreshed site, went back and played. At day 43, I apparently lost Midlands again, and got the ''Germans invade! Battle lost!'' but due to having killed over 300 germans, I right after got the ''Germans Surrender! Battle Won!'' message, and it did count as a win, with fireworks and all, luckily ^^

game seems ok, even if the combat depends way too much on luck - only major gripe is an annoying bug which has made me lose the game too early. I lost the east coast because i forgot to put firefighters on it before ending turn, so it was destroyed. It was then attacked again next turn, even though i couldn't do anything to defend it, and destroyed again = 2 destroyed cites and game loss. this needs to be fixed, because it's wasted the entire of that game

i like the concept, still difficult, once you get farther and you have a devistating loss it is very difficult to recover from, try and balance it out some, very good start 4/5

yer its ok game played it for an hour got to day 33 then it just felt like no point to it
but it was good i would find my self with only 7 planes when i would get attacked at 3 places lol 3/5 lota room to put some new stuff in :P

need to get something that tells you when you run out of metal, and intelligence problems make the start of the game too difficult.

The intro qutoe was ironic.At one time the british owned 1/3 of the world.hmmm so i guess the british werent imperalistic?

Seems to be something seriously screwy with the battles. No way I should be able to out number my opponents more than 3 to 1 and they're still able to kill as many planes as they do.

Actually Hurricanes cost more metal to produce, take for example 10 workers in Spitfire production need only 2500 kg of metal, while 10 workers in Hurricane production need 5000 kg of metal. Of cource Hurricane production is 2x more than Spitfire production in a 1:1 worker ratio.
So in the early game concentrate on Hurricane production, then when you hit about 20 workers or you can't produce enough hurricanes off of the metal production start phasing out Hurricane workers, and start producing more Spitfires. By the end game, stop Hurricane production.
Hope that helps :3.

A squadron of aproxx. 1-7 planes spotted. Squadron contains 2-8 Heinkels and 0-6 Messerschmits.
If you can find the mistake, your better then my 73% accuracy spy machine...

On the same day I got these two headlines: 'British morale at all time low', and 'Victory! Germans surrender'. Umm... so why is morale low?

Great game but needs A LOT of fixes with its mechanics especially in the dogfights, losing 38/42 spitfires to 7 junkers and 3 bombers... yea, gotta fix that.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I'm sorry, but i gotta start with the bad things. The balance is completely messed up. Flying with 2 spitfires against 15 or more enemy planes is more effective than flying with 15 spitfires. Sometimes even one of those two planes survives and they shoot down 5 to 10 enemy planes.
Work on a fair balance and the game would be really cool.
For now, its just a 3/5. 3 stars for a cool idea. Not more because of a shitty balance :/ im sorry dude

Nice game.
But the difficulty level should be review : it is to difficult at the beginning.
But once you're on your way, it become to easy. So you have to arrange that.
And having better interface. To navigate between the differents menus is a little boring. At least, you should had some elements on the main menu as metal scraps.
It's also difficult to understand how work the metal scraps. I understand it (and why I didn't produce a lot of planes) in the middle of my game. You should add some message which says that we don't have enough metal to produce a plane.
But, for the rest, nice!
4/5

There should be indicators on the Summary screen for when you haven't allocated workers to planes in the factory or other units to cities.

I just wish the firemen were more efficient in preventing fires. That and a more interactive combat system. Really now, 1 fireman = 1 damage prevented? Might as well spam builders. And what is the logic of having veteran pilots on spitfires all being shot down, but with all the noobs in hurricanes somehow surviving?

Here's a tip, play Warfare 1944 after you are done with this one. It will feel like you're taking down the nazies you just owned in arial combat.

please PLEASE make combat less random example *throw a kitten* entire fleet dies and more controled IE i can see my attack/health/armour(only 3 you acctualy need for this kind of combat) and have a record of the enemy unit example after i fight a junker after the first on dies i see the health the the armour and when i lose a plane it shows the attack also i support every comment I've seen please make a Sequal with advice from theese "so far" good comments please exuse any bad grammar i don't have too good a head for spelling

i had 7 guys, they had 1 and 3 bombers.... the won with no losses + if u think the combat system should be updated to be less chance and give advantages to the team who has more :D

I would like a kind of encyclopedia feature which tells you the stats of both your planes (difference between Hurricanes and Spitfires) and the germans (difference between Stukka, Heinkels, Messerschmitts and Junkers). A 100% accurate report doesn't tell you much if you don't comprehend the level of enemy planes.
