Please read the news:
Each flag represents the nation of the pilot in service with the RAF during the Battle of Britain, collectively known as “The Few”. (Great Britain, Austria, Australia, Ireland, Canada, Newfoundland and Labrador, South Africa, Jamaica, Poland, Barbados, Belgium, USA, New Zealand, France, Czechoslovakia, Southern Rhodesia).
One famous Irish pilot in the BoB is Paddy Finucane, whose profile icon we have in the game:
Ah the battle of Britain film still a classic lol
Nice decal, thanks… :)
Edit:
Oh, and thanks for fixing “Czech” to “Czechoslovakia”. Knowing our eastern neighbours, they wouldn’t be happy about being left out… :D
Brilliant Decal! Amazing to see everyone who did their bit represented on it!
I don’t know if you are joking or not, but just in case: the “Few” are the Royal Air Force and allied pilots, as opposed to the “Many”, which are the British population (and even the free world).
The RAF had actually more pilots available during this battle than the Luftwaffe.
Oh, right, I had the speeches mixed up, it was not about few standing against many, but about many owing very much to the few.
They used to be. The UK tree used to have french vehicles like how germany had Italian vehicles in it.
Really? Every year it is the same discriminatory propaganda. Like I asked last year, did the British solely fight themselves in this “battle”? There is still nothing for the Germans or Italians in this one sided thing. How hard is it to offer a special aircraft or decal for the other participants?
Would be nice to get some camos next time for Italy and Germany.
No.
Why? It doesn’t represent Axis powers like heroes or something, just historical camos, isn’t that acceptable?
That is precisely their attitude toward anything German. If anything, offering a German/Italian pack (ex: Bf 109 E-7, E-7/Z, E-7/U2, E-8, Bf 110 E-series, KG 2’s Do 17 Z-2, He 111 P-series, Ju 86 P-series, CR.42 DB, etc) would attract a lot more people, get a bunch more to open up their wallets, & does not take anything away from the british…
Good event offer, but Prendergast’s Spitfire, as a 414 RCAF Squadron plane should really be using the WW2 Canadian flag on its stat cards (as does for instance, Lanovski’s P-47, similarly). Link here if people want to support the bug report on this: Community Bug Reporting System
They could have added the Boulton Paul Defiant as an event aircraft for the month of the BoB.
This event is bugged on console its locked so you cant finish it… Nice job Gaijin…
Play another round i got This Bug also.
tried it doesnt work its still loked and doesnt count to anythig, nice Gaijin what a joke of a game
tried it still locked and not progressing…
Battle of Britain day is a UK commemorative day marking the RAFs victory in the battle.
There are other events throughout the year with German / Italian centered specials. This one is focused on Britian (and the other nations pilots of the RAF) as it’s a British commemoration day:
“Battle of Britain Day, 15 September, is now an annual commemoration of the battle in the United Kingdom.”
Nice didnt got decale becasue game is bugged…this is redicilous…
