KodiakJac Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 Hi guys! I'm pouring over all the content I'm going to catch up on, and I've got a couple questions about some of the Collector Planes... 1. Hurricane Mk.II In what campaigns can I use the Hurricane? 2. Ju-52 Shows it can be used in BOS, BOM, and BOK. How about Battle of Bodenplatte? I plan on updating with the Premium Edition of all modules eventually. And I'm counting 19 Collector Planes in total right now (including those listed for the upcoming BON and the C-47). So is it the case that there are some Collector Planes that will never be part of the Premium Edition of any module? I just don't want to double up on purchasing them. I've made a little chart to sort this all out, as I understand it...lol Any tips on the "ins and outs" of Collector Planes would be appreciated. Thanks!

I can't speak to which campaign the Hurricane might fly in. But I think you might be confusing some of the Premium planes with collector planes. The Premium planes are just two extra aircraft that can be purchased with the Premium edition as opposed to the Standard edition. Those are not Collectors planes. Collector planes are a total separate purchase from any other Map purchase. Any and all planes can be used on any map, just not in certain campaigns. 1

Yes, the Ju-52 is flyable in Bodenplatte. I tried a career with it once, but gave up after the first mission, because it’s mostly just flying for an hour, landing, and flying back. I enjoyed it, but just don’t have enough time to be doing that sort of stuff. 1

KodiakJac Posted September 8, 2021 Author Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Thanks, guys! "Ju-52 - I tried a career with it once, but gave up after the first mission, because it’s mostly just flying for an hour, landing, and flying back. I enjoyed it, but just don’t have enough time to be doing that sort of stuff." My two go-to sims have been MSFS 2020 and IL-2 1946 BAT lately, so a little of that in Great Battles also sounds fun to me. Civilian pilot one day, combat ace the next! ? Going to pick up Tobruk in the near future, too. Edited September 9, 2021 by KodiakJac 1 1

1CGS BlackSix Posted September 9, 2021 1CGS Posted September 9, 2021 We didn't manage to include the Hurricanes in the BoK career, since during this period they provided air defense for Rostov, which is located too far from the northern border of the map. 1 3
JG4_Moltke1871 Posted September 12, 2021 Posted September 12, 2021 I think this must be the right place for my topic…. In the single player careers are some night squads like the „Nachtschlachtgeschwader“ on Rheinland Map or some light night Bomber squads with U-2VS on Kuban and Stalingrad. Also is there a Bf 110 night fighter squad on Kuban. Until now it was undiscovered content for me and I am excited about it because it closes a gap that no online server offers. How about BoN? Is there any night action planned? Like „Unternehmen Steinbock“ in early 1944…. The Me 410 seems the right choice for some night sorties over the channel maybe in Career or scripted campaign… Maybe some Mosquito attacks in the other direction… Is any content like that planned for BoN?

We will have I./KG 51 which used Me 410 until May 23 from Evreux-Fauville but I cannot say now whether night missions will be made for it. As for the Mosquito, there will be five playable squadrons in the career: No. 305 (Polish) Squadron 'Ziemia Wielkopolska' RAF No. 418 Squadron RCAF No. 464 Squadron RAAF No. 487 (New Zealand) Squadron RAF No. 605 (County of Warwick) Squadron RAF and three AI squadrons: No. 21 Squadron RAF No. 107 Squadron RAF No. 613 (City of Manchester) Squadron RAF But we need to ask @LukeFF who wrote their stories, whether they made night flights)) 1 2

If not scheduled already maybe it’s a nice idea bring some unique single player night action into the game ? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Steinbock
