Scott,

That's the type of generic information I've been finding. Numbers of bombers are good, but no specifics are given insofar as what types of bomber types were used, and the units they came from. If I know the aircraft type composition of the formation (Heinkels, Junkers, Dorniers) and the units they came from, I can determine which airfield to use for the starting point for the raids.

I have the second half of my question: http://ww2.dk/

Mongoose,

The WW2 dk site is what I use to determine airbase location and aircraft type. That's half of the puzzle, yes, and the part that I have. I did try the Axis history forum, and have gotten no response yet. I can also try Twelve O'clock High.
 
Hi all! it seems BoB is quite popular as it covers the dark days Britain faced against a far superior German air force.
I have downloaded a few mission sets that iv`e tweaked to run on my rig in ETO Rev 1.5.they are BoB Ruff,BoB_RAF_Missions,Black Summer,MGM.Missions and many by the House Hobbit and others.
These missions keep me busy for hours and a big thanks to the people who have the talent to bring these great historical War time events to us.:applause:

If you are into the Battle of Britain then you need to check this out. http://bob2wov.com/battle-of-britain-ii/ A great site and a great combat flight sim. Has everything you could want in one package. Battle of Britain II WoV is one of the best sims for this era. Can't go wrong with this one and it's cheep to buy also.
 
BoB Wings of Victory

Hi all,living in the most southern partt of Africa makes obtaining stuff like this almost impossible as most postal items go missing :mad-new:, so if downloadable that might be the best option but where?

Just remember it's a older sim so the graphics are not as good as Il-2 BoS. But they are good to me. The ai is one of the best ever bar none. Very well worth the little amount money spent. Will give years of enjoyment. Recommend Win7 64bit as it won't work on Win8 and may work with Win10 after some modding ,i'm told.
 
This used to be my desktop wallpaper from BoB II

Those are beautiful pics Major.. Can't wait to get it in my mitts . How did you like it after being updated ? Do you still play it ?
 
I liked it well enough, but have not played it in years since I changed computers, and didn't reinstall it.
 
CFS3 with all the expansions available and some custom (9 total) and Il-2 '46 (2 installs) take up most of my time. Will have to make some special time to play BoB II WoV . New key mapping to learn and am reading up on the sim to help with game play.
 
Looked to get into Il-2CLoD but will not deal with steam to install. Interested in single player only. Sim is terrible stock and must be modded to work at all. Graphics isn't everything. CFS3 and Il-2 '46 graphics are good enough for me. Really like the CFS3 ETO BoB install and Pat's CFS3 BoB.Especially since i love quick combat and single missions . Not so much into campaigns because of time constraints . One can only hope there will be some new missions for Pat's updated BoB expansion coming out in the future.Get well Owen !!
 
DITTO ,,,, agree ,,,,,,,,,,bob ,,,,,eto/bob ,,,, and all the addons,,,is fantasticcccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
 
I was able to pick up CLoD for 5 bucks a year ago. It's pretty but just couldn't hold my attention. I appreciate the depth they tried to model the workings of the aircraft in, but they still got a lot wrong. I sometimes use it for ideas for my own CFS3 mods, but that's about it.
