What bothers me is the game is using the E-3 version in the first place. Only in July was the type more prevelant than the E-4. For the remainder of the battle it was the E-4 that carried the brunt of the offensive.
Likewise, I'm guessing the Spit and Hurricane will have armour plate modeled for the pilot when in actual fact, this was a rarity during the early part of the Battle.
Having said that, I understand why Oleg and the team had to slant the odds in favour of the RAF. You can't have a 'true to life' game that changes the outcome of history :lol:
Would be interesting to know just how many veterans and scholars Oleg et al contacted in developing the game or whether they just relied on performance charts alone (which in the case of RAF Farnborough are a little skewed, IMO, but that's another story.)
With regards to Planemad's comments, I do think all the planes are a little too clean in their apperance. They all look as though they have come straight off the factory floor.
