    Kanalkampf: Redux in testing

    Kanalkampf Redux - Now in testing on ATAG Axis vs Allies




    This mission is based on the Battle of Britain phase in July 1940 where the Luftwaffe made a number of convoy attacks to close the Channel to English shipping.
    I have done a little testing to make sure the mission is actually working but I will need feedback from a larger number of people to determine if defences are too much or too little around the targets. Ideally they should be such that it is extremely difficult to make a single-aircraft attack, especially at low altitude, but much easier with multiple planes.


    I hope you all enjoy it!

    I took a quick recce flight last night and it looks great seeing such a large convoy, and the same with the barges etc in Boulogne.

    Mission building goes way beyond my comprehension so hat's off to you. I think many will appreciate fresh scenario content as we wait for 5.0.

    Cheers

    Loose the 109E4Late for the 109E4.
    Most pilots wouldve taken off the backplate anyway.
    At least the overhead part of it.
    Too bad there is not an option to do that in the loadout screen.

    Kiwi - just tried to bomb Beachy head radar site and neither TGIF (low level) or myself (high level) could spot it. TGIF pretty confident he knows where it is (me less so) but he couldnt spot it despite flying around for a while at low level looking.

    At the time the chat msg was saying that Rye radar site was destroyed. Maybe this was a mix up and it should have said beachy head destroyed (i didnt check Rye)?

    One bit of feedback from newb / relearning bomber pilot - would it be possible to include an airfield tgt for blue bombers to hit? Airfields are good tgts for newb high altitude bomber pilots like me still relearning how to do high alt bombing whereas the radar sites are trickier at high altitude (good for more experienced high alt bombers). Just a suggestion - no probs if you'd prefer not to.

    In addition to what reported by Ezzie I have attempted 3 times to bomb the British convoy and there seems to be something very strange happening. Every bomb I've dropped on the ships instead of exploding bounced on the ships exploding then 200-300 meters away from them. I have attemped also a slow speed approach getting the same result.
    In the case that this is something that can't be solved due to a game bug or similar could be a good idea adding the Bf 110 C-6 to the aircraft set so to have the chance to sunk them anyway.

    Apart from these small glitches, surely not depending by your will, the map is beautifull and you have done an excellent work! Keep up the good work!!!

    Thanks for the feedback guys!

    Hackl; the idea with having only the E-4 Late was to move some pilots into flying the E-3 and E-1 but if this proves hugely unpopular I will add the E-4.

    Ezzie; the Beachy Head RDF site is one of the smaller Chain Home Low stations without the towers and there are a small number of light flak defences very close to it. It should be hard to spot but not impossible, I might take another look at this.
    I don't have any plans to add airfield targets but I may add area targets such as ports for the Axis.

    Moelders; I haven't had any issues skip bombing the ships in the past and as far as I know it should work on all parts of the convoys' course. Maybe try bombing it at different times during the map to see if it's location-related.
