Just picked up this game from matrix and it looks pretty interesting. Can you guys help me with a few campaign questions:

1. Any way to change the airfield of planes assigned to your command?

LW or RAF ? , I not sure about the LW but the RAF, yes, bring up the unit page/popup, where it shows the Dairy button, it will show airfield and command, you can change those to what you want, it may take a day or so, for the order to go though

2. Is there a way to pick which planes go on which raids. Whenever I generate a Raid the game seems to pick the planes from the worst airfields to attack the specific location.

I have to go look, in testing, I been working on the RAF side for the tests, so out of patices with the LW

3. Lastly, which setting allows you to have the plane identifiers shown on the screen when in combat? My old monitor cannot pick out a plane at more than 600 yards.

if I read you right, you can hit the T key, and it will bring up a color line saying what the plane type is, in the settings, you can work with what colors you want



Thanks,

Hey Guys -

There is definetly a Britt perspective to the game. Don't get me wrong, I do like it. I just wish the LW campaign was a little more polished. A few more questions and comments after a few more hours of playing:

1. I knocked out the low range Radars but keep getting intercepted in the channel when attacking at the lowest allowable height. Do you think this is do to faulty intelligence or does the game not really model the radar stations?

one of the setting for the RAF is to patrol holes in the radar screen, you may be hitting patrols ?

2. There has to be a simpler way to show on the map which units are where. I just want to click on a handful of airports to select the proper groups, click on the target or a location for a sweep, and select a RAID button for the raid to be generated.

3. I am getting frustrated trying to get the bombers and fighters I want for a particular raid. The groups I want seem to be available and ready, but I am not allowed to access them. Do you think it is cockpit error (me) or game bugs?

4. I would love to send ME110 fighter sweeps but it appears they can only be used as an escort.

5. Frequently my fighters and bombers seem to miss their renedvous resulting bombers attacking alone and getting slaughtered. I guess this is real life circa-1939 but I wish I could have an option just to come home if the fighters get lost.

we working on this

6. Would be nice if the strategic map showed the location of the individual groups. I would love to know without jumping in the cockpit whtrher my bombers were by themselves.

which settings are you using, you can set the icons for the screen, to I believe, JG, Gruppen, or Staffel, I think it is the filter button

I will stop the rant here. Again, great game. My plan was to play LW and get use it before playing the RAF as it was probably intended.
