Creator's note:

This is a European-based sequel(?) to my previous 2 RPGs of the same name. I have drastically changed the storyies, ideas, etc, and this is the improved version. I WILL NOT be testing out ideas, so treat this seriously! Also, please enjoy.

Thanks,

British Royal Airforce (RAF) Story:

The British Warmachine is in throes after the ingloriious rout at Dunkirt. Bruised and battered, but not beaten, you prepare for your new assignment: protect Britain from the inevitable assault that will surely come from the Kraut hordes. As leaflets of Hitlers 'Appeal to Reason' rain down, you are filled with a new resolve to win, at any and all cost.

German Luftwaffe Story:

Operation: SeaLion, the plan to invade the British Isles, is now in effect. Your mission? Destroy the RAF. The German Army has already sent it realing. In the words of The Fuhrer '...selected by the fates to deal the final blow to the structure which these men (Churchhill and CO.) have already set tottering...". End. Them. Now.

Both Sides:

Your goal throughout the entire campaign will be in the role as a fighter-pilot. For the RAF, this means defending their homeland. For teh Luftwaft, this includes destroying the RAF and protecting the Bombers from attack as they progress to London and other British Cities.

Perks
British Royal Air Force (RAF) Perks:

RADAR: Your character can 'see' enemy planes and formations sooner.

Self-Sealing Fuel Tanks: If your fuel tanks are hight, less fuel will be lost.

Fisherman-Friend: If you go down, a friendly fisherman will be there to pick you up.

Exaust Covers: Your exaust pipes are covered, making you harder to see at night

Reflector Sight: Your guns are more accurate, due to your upgrade from the WWI-Era tube sight.

E-MARE-IH-CAN: Americans have come to help the war-effort: Your plane is repaired faster.

German Luftwaffe Perks:

Daschund-Belly: You have an extra fuel tank on your plane belly; your plane uses fuel more economically

Red-Cross Buoy: If you go down, a 'Swiss' AID buoy is always nearby.

Self-Sealing Fuel Tanks: If your fuel tanks are hit, you'll loose less fuel.

Londra: Italians have given you additional training; you do more damage.

Size DOES Matter: Luftwaffe's size is on your side: your plane is repaired faster.

Pure Race: Your eyesight is exceptionally good: your guns are more accurate.
__________
A few notes:

1. There will always be one choice out of four or five in which you die or get wounded. If you happen to choose that one, don't worry, I'll give you the option to parachute out a total of 3 times. After that, it's game over. War is hell, and people die.

2. You may have noticed the Armor/Fuel tabs. These can be your best friend, or your worst enemy. More fuel means you can out run the enemy in dire situations, but more armor means you can take less damage. Play to your strengths, because the enemy plays to your weaknesses.

4. Remember that you are not limited to the choices I give you. There will almost always be an answer marked "Other," where you can do something different or even do two actions I've given you, provided they don't contradict. Surprise me with your tactical skill! If you are especially creative, you may be rewarded with a new weapon or even a perk.
__________

Good-luck.

hmmm... Are custom perks allowed? If so, Incendiary ammo or if thats too much synchronized MG's.


Realized yesterday that the Upgrade shot needs some magor work, so I've devised a new one, with lots more goodies. And a points system (Every level=3 points), to spend of stuff. A lot of other ideas too, but they'll have to wait for the next (fourth) Flyboys... (hint hint). And your MGs are already synchronized, or else your propellor would be all shot up... amiright?

*cheating, close your eyez!*

Alright, you head back to base, and its a relatively uneventful journey. You land your plane, and talk with the mechanics. They notify you that your plane will be refueled at 7:40PM (AG TIME).

*waves hand* No there isn't... (mysterious voice)

You circle the airfield (litteraly, a field; your tarmac got bombed by Hypermnestra) a few times, than head off on a patrol (-10 fuel). Not much happens, but as you come back, you spot a lone Hawker Hurricane, limping its way back to England. It appears to be heavily shot up, and its probaly an easy kill. You ease behind it, and it does nothing to evade. You open up with a short burst, and smoke begins pouring from its engine. Suddenly, it jerks up, than back down again...

A) ???
B) Continue following him...
C) *SCREAM* CONSPIRACY!!! *flee*
D) Back away... slowly...
E) Pshaaw... Kill. Him. Now.

F)Make your own option..... Pull up next to him, far enough away for me to have time to evade if he rams into me but close enough for me to look at him.

You do that, and a booming voice comes forth from the Heavens:

"THIS IS GOD. FOLLOW THE RULES. PL0X. OR I WILL SMITE YOU"

Also, you now have a wingman. He remains at base, and can come with you, or you can call him in when you get into trouble. Both have their pros/cons, and I'll let you figure them out.

You signal to your wingman, and he takes off after you. You head towards the channel (-20 fuel), and begin to patrol it. After a few minutes of patrols, you meet 2 planes head on. Lucky you, there Hawker Hurricanes, also on patrol. Both you and the RAF Patrol are fairly fresh, so the fight is evenly matched. You signal to your wingman that you'll:

A) Meet head on, and he should get altitue
B) Both will gain altitude
C) You should try and flank them
D) Fly away
E) Make Your Own (Tactical) Option!

It gives them the false sense of Hope. Which isn't very nice, by the way.

No; for balance, or else it wouldn't be fair to others who don't select the option of having an assistant. But they do offer many advantages, so It should be easier to get kills.

You signal to your wingman, and both of you enter into a short climb, before leveling out. The Hurricanes are rising up to meet you, so the tactical advantage is starting to null out. You need to act quickly, and you:

A) Enter into a straignt climb (your planes lighter, has a higher ceiling)
B) Meet them head on, and let 'em rip
C) Turn around, and try a thatch weave
D) Make Your Own (Tactical) Option!

Ayup. After performing the usual pre-flight ritual, you taxi onto the tarmac, you race down the runway, and lift off into the air. You now have the usual choices to make:

A) Run a patrol, until the sun sets (-10 fuel)
B) Go over the channel (early bird catches the worm...)
C) Head on over to London (-20 fuel)
D) Head back to the German Base(s) (early bird catches the worm...)
