Large size Airbattles

Hello(my 1st post here ),

with EAW1.28c we will be able to select up to 64 planes per group, resulting in up to 256 planes in fighter sweep, what is the actual max limit.

So when we escort a B17 formation, we will see up to 72 B17´s + 64 escorting fighters, the rest can be interceptors.

Here are some screenes of a scramble mission, where the 1st piture show my Group taking off and close nemys in the background.




Here my squad is just up, the enemy group on the right sight is closing in, on the left hand a group of 109G´s clash into a SpitiXc group.






After only a few mins it looks like this:


















Greetings,

Knegel

Hi Knegel, good to see you here mate ,

the new 'supersize me' battles are great fun, at last the feeling of approaching a major bomber formation comes true ...







and flying an He 111 in BOB can be a little worrying too :



cheers,


Pobs
