Which campaign would you like?
« on: September 01, 2012, 02:58:12 PM »
I will let the cat out of the bag a little bit: I am now making a Winter War campaign for the Finnish Bulldog, it is based (with the limits of the game) on history and will have 6 missions. Digging out history I found enough sources for the enemy side too. As far as I know some Finnish Winter War campaigns were made for the Gladiator, Morane and Fokker D.XXI. If I am not mistaken no one has ever made a static Soviet fighter pilot campaign for the Winter War, right? From the sources I gathered I would like to make something for the I-15bis (with skis), I-153 and I-16 (skis). As always my old "child in the cake shop" syndrome appeared and I would like to make all of them at once which is of course impossible as an average campaign takes weeks to build... Can you help me decide? I will run this poll for 14 days and then will announce my decision. Thanks.

Thanks Cracken, nice iniciative!

I am for the I-16 with skis. I really can´t imagine how was to fly and fight in such negative temperatures!

I always have a hard time riding my bike in the cold, go figure flying a canopyless plane... ;)

Good idea - this is a gap to be filled. I have built some Finnish Winter War campaigns but never found it in me to do Soviet ones.

But I'm sure they can be fun - fun opponents, especially if you use DreamK's new aircraft! Go for it. You can't really miss! :)

Yes, flying in open cockpits was more than a standard during the Winter War: Soviets: I-15bis, I-153, I-16 version 6, R-5, R-Z

Finns: Bulldogs, Gauntlets, Harts, Fokker C.X., Fiat G.50

Maybe I missed something but the majority of fighter and recon planes had open cockpits.
