A major update has just landed in Scramble: Battle of Britain, and with it comes a new challenge for RAF pilots: the Dornier 17, one of the Luftwaffe's most iconic twin-engine bombers, is now available as an AI-controlled enemy in the core game!

With the arrival of the Do 17, we're introducing a brand-new layer of tactical complexity to bomber engagements. Players will encounter this new threat in fresh missions featuring enhanced mechanics and an improved UI that will help to track, intercept, and break up the new enemy formations.

We have reinforced every aspect of bomber intercept missions in Scramble. Pilots may now find bombers escorted by enemy fighters who join the dogfight on a turn delay. Bombers AI will employ evasive maneuvers, and a depleted bomber formation may decide to turn and retreat rather than continue to their objective.

Scramble bombers are now modeled with animated bomb bay doors and slings. Damaged bombers will jettison their payloads before turning for home, and aircraft with multiple stations will bail all their live crew when fatally damaged.

I spent some time with this, and it really is fun in the same vein as Over the Reich and Achtung! Spitfire, which are my faves of this particular little genre. Looking forward to 1.0.

I highly recommend this game as well
A great little game I drop in and do quick dogfights that last about 20mins
Perfect for a fast wargaming fix

I just happened to not already own exactly five titles in that bundle, so Scramble, Headquarters, and 3 Strategic Command titles for $4 a piece was way too good to pass up...    :RockOn:
