Full plane set list

[ATAG_Snapper]

Thanks to Hellrider and Pernix, I’ve been advised that the planeset I earlier posted were just the AI flights. My bad!

Here’s the full list of flyables which is greatly expanded - to everyone’s joy, I’m sure!

Note:

1) D520’s flyable on both sides (Vichy and Free French)

2) Wellingtons are not flyable (aircraft freezes when entering bombardier station). There will be AI Wellies, though.

I’ll revise my earlier post to link here!

Cheers!

With all due respect I think this planeset... needs a bit of work

- Do we really need the nightfighter versions (NF) of the Beau and Blenheim? They add no value and just bloat the planeset up.
- D.520 is available on both sides!? I'd prefer it be exclusive to blue side.
- Spitfire Mk.I is available!? (lol)
- Do we really need both 110C-4/B and 110C-7? I'd just keep the C-7 and kick the C-4/B out.
- Could we get rid of the Spit Vs and 109Fs? Everybody will be in those I can already tell.

- Alternatively keep only the Spit Mk.V HF and 109F-2, kick the Mk.V trop and 109F-4/Z out

The planeset still WIP.

The list will be different.

I fully agree with Karaya.
Tomahawks and Kittyhawks would fit much better than late Spitfires to the setting (no please, Artist, stop shouting at me, I know, I know, but it's true!)
I always thought Beaus and Kittys would make very nice combination down low.
But 109 Fs spoil the fun for everyone else.

There might be a few people mad enough to have a go with Tiger Moths or Gladiators, though.

[5th Hellrider]

Most likely it will be something like this:

Blue side
C.202 serie III
C.202 serie VII
G.50
Cr.42
D.520
Bf 109 E-7/Trop
Bf 110 C-7/Trop
Ju 88 C-4
Br.20M

Red side
Hurricane Mk. II Trop
Tomahawk
Kittyhawk
Martlet
Beaufighter
Blenheim
Wellington (bugged)

Looks like a big improvement

Only one issue left:
Could we please get rid of the Bf109F-4 on blue side? It absolutely dominates the red planes in this setup.

[DerDa]

So, the 109 F is still there but no Spitfires V?
Well ...

Yea, would be better without 109Fs.
At the very least the 109F-4 needs to be deleted.

[ATAG_Snapper]

I’ve requested the F2 and F4 be deleted.

(Then add the Spit Vb in just to piss you off! ). J/K

Airfields:

3) CRI-R.A. (Noofy's Nightmare)

What does CRI-R.A. stand for?
Croce Rossa Internazionale - Regia Aeronautica
Cucina Regionale Italiana - Regia Aeonautica ?

No idea. Hey, I just work here! LOL

Some of these airfield names drive me nuts. Totally unpronounceable!

[OBT~Polak]

Any plane,any side for me,just pleasure to see many pilots (and many squad I hope) in the air on this fantastic simulator My parachutes is ready… (all apologies for my poor English) see you tomorrow gentlemen

[ATAG_JackMaxx]

So, the 109 F is still there but no Spitfires V?
Well ...

We shall just have to zap the blue meanies with the tools the omniscient Snapper has gifted us.

I will be forced to use the most desperate means!
Tiger Moth for me!

With bombs!

I’m more of a go-between messenger boy, but the tips are good.

Reminds me of the definition of gynecologist: he who works where the others have fun

Some of these airfield names drive me nuts. Totally unpronounceable!

Not to me... Some of them are actually funny. For example airfield #1 of the red team "al'ukht alddayiea" translates into "the lost sister"... go figure.

[ATAG_Snapper]

Final plane sets are posted. No Spitfire Vb’s, nor Bf 109 F2’s/F4’s.

Many thanks for everyone’s input, to Pernix and Hellrider for putting this final mission of the Operation Compass series together, and to Oskar who worked hard behind the scenes adapting all this for the TFS #3 Server.

See you all in about 6 hours!!!
