Hello fellow pilots!
I have just finished reading "The first and the last" from Galland and it gave me an idea I find interesting:
Channel Dash!!!
The reds must prevent the german ships from getting out of the map, and of course the blues must defend them.
I know it' s not possible right now since there are quite a lot of planes and objects to create but I'd like to know what you guys think about it.

Could be good... but it would be best with a larger class of ships than currently available.

Yes we would need the 3d models of the german battleships and cruisers... I know it is quite a lot of work but imagine how epic it could be! Especially for the reds... Attacking the Scharnhorst with a flight of Swordfish or Blenheims....

What could be possible right now would be an attack to a huge convoy, even escorted by those terrible corvettes. This could also be done either from the red or the blue side as defenders / offenders, and it could even allow the use of the airfields in western Britain and Normandie / southern Pas de Calais, at least for take-offs and landings.

wouldn't that map last a very long time? just going from English point to dover seems to take 6 hrs.

There could be a time limit....offenders would win if they sink all the ships and defenders if they get to the limit with some ship safe. If I think on it this kind of mission could have another positive side: I'm playing online since a short time, but I've seen that missions have usually 3 targets. This means that every player chooses the target he likes more and runs his way. It may then happen that one target has much more players from one side than another, and this can make some problem. For example, yesterday night at a moment we were three bombers trying to hit the british fleet while the blue fighters were somewhere else. Not so the british, unfortunately :)
I think that focusing all the players on one single big target could be something to try. Has it already been done any time?

lol. I know what you mean... the passing of time distorts in the game ;)

English Point to Dover = 22 miles. At 240mph you can travel this distance in 5-and-a-half minutes. Seems like 6 hours when no-one else is around. Although, if you're chasing an enemy, it seems the time to cover the distance is around 30 seconds......

Abbeville to Tangmere, on the other hand, is about 125 miles. That distance would take half an hour. In the absence of any likely contact, that journey can be rather tedious for a gamer.
