We have had a number of new French aircraft, and I think they deserve a campaign of their own, don't you?
This is a pack of three campaigns for French Airforce light bombers, set during the Battle for France 1940. They are for these aircraft:
*
The Breguet Br.693 Ground attack aircraft - my personal favourite!
*
The Loire-Nieuport LN.411 Dive Bomber, and
*
The Vought V-156F Dive Bomber

These three aircraft all have their special charm. For instance the Breguet is sporting a fixed rear-facing and downward firing MG, and is quite nimble: you can easily doghfight a Bf110 in this one. The LN.411 is quite a ground-pounder, but is a single-seater, and is rather vulnerable as such - you don't dogfight ANYTHING in the LN.411, although it has a 20mm gun that can scare the living bejeezus into any Heinkels snooping around. The Vought will insist on folding her wings when on the ground, but you have to assign a key to stop her from doing this.
All these French ground pounders fought in the Battle for France, courageously and ... with big losses. Not least during the Sedan crossings when they were sent in to face overwhelming odds, in the form of both FLAK and Messerschmitts. Over 60% of all Breguet crews perished before the Armistice.
