Join the German Luftwaffe or the British RAF in Battle of Britain! __________ 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, Maverick4 __________ 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. __________ Registration
Sign-up is limited to FOUR PEOPLE! And try to balance it out to 2 Brits and 2 Germans; more balanced=more fun. ---------- Name: (I shouldn't have to explain this, I hope) Age: (19-24) Force: (RAF or Luftwaffe) Rank: Pilot (this will increase with kills) Plane: (see below) Lvl: 1 0/20 EXP HP: 30/30 Fuel Amount: 100/100 Armor: (see fuel) Fuel: (you have 7 points to spend on armor and speed. more armor means you take less damage, but can stay up less.

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

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. __________

Out of curiosity, are you an actual pilot? Or did you study. :P
As the Hurricane banks, you attempt a High Yo-Yo to get on his six. As you come down behind him, he continues on with his turn, but begins to climb as well. What do you do?

You head back to base, and land easily on the tarmac. You taxi into the hanger, and after talking with your mechanic, head into your barracks to rest awile (plane ready in 3 Hours AG TIME) __________ Name: Joseph S.

You loop around, and come up from below. Its a decent descision; only 3 guns from both the bombers can get at you. They still cause some damage though, marking your plane up with several large holes (-5HP). You open up with your machine guns, and let at it with the rear bomber. You score hits mostly in the fuselage, and the bomber begins to smoke. You race past the bombers, ending up slightly higher than them. You:
A) Wash, rince, repeat B) Climb up, than dive down C) COme in at a level attack D) Make Your Own Option __________ Name: Conan Doyle Arthur Age: 23 Force: RAF Rank: Pilot ---------- Plane: Hawker Hurricane Plane Name: Uppercut Lvl: 2 20/50 EXP HP: 30/30 Fuel Amount: 50/100 Armor: 6 Fuel: 3 Plane Weapons: (4) .303 Browning Machine Guns (MGs) ---------- Perks: Radar, E-MARE-IH-CAN, Bad Birdie Bio: Formerly a street boxer in London, he joined the RAF to battle it out with the Hun on his own "home turf."

You wheel your plane around and head over to the Dover Cliffs. As you draw closer, you see a few Hurricanes intercepting a large group of Bombers. They appear to be Dorniers, and are holding their own. What do you do?
A) Join in B) Leave them alone C) Make Your Own Option! __________ IMPORTANT NOTICE: Once Parsat gets used to the RPG, I'm gonna start weaning you guys off of the A/B/C options. Eventually, there won't be any options, and you'll actually have to think for yourself. Have fun!

D) Make Your Own Option Cooper knows that bombers are heavier than his plane, and not built for maneuverability. If he can get on the bombers' six, then they will be forced to fly upwards, and if it comes to flying upwards, his fighter plane will win out over their bombers. So, he swoops down quickly, rolling to avoid fire, so that he ends up below them. Then, just open fire on them and herd them upward. Once they stall, they'll be like fish in a barrel.

You get on the bombers six, and start shooting below them inorder to herd them upwards. Its a nice plan, but with a single major flaw: Rear-facing gunners. Dornier-17s have a turret on top that can fact the rear of the plane, to fend of fighters doing exactly what you're doing now. It opens up, and fires a few quick burst at you (-5HP). You:
A) Finish them off B) Flee C) Make Your Own Option! __________ Name: Jorden Adler Age: 20 Force: Luftwaffe Rank: Fighter Pilot -------------------- Plane: Messerschmidt BF 109e (wingman) Plane Name: Wanderfalke Lvl: 2 45/50 EXP Kills: + + + + HP: 15/30 Fuel Amount: 65/100 Armor: 3 Fuel: 6 Plane Weapons: (4) MG-17 -------------------- Perks: Londra, Pure Race, Bad Birdie Bio: Born in Breslau, Germany, Jorden grew up with much admiration of the Red Baron.

You follow the Hurricane, and ignore the G's pulling at you. You manage to remain on his six, and open up a short burst. Most of the bullets fly behind, but a few manage to score hits around the fuselage, causing light damage. The Hurricane rolls out of the turn and into a dive, using its larger weight to attempt an escape. DO you:
A) Follow him B) Break off the attack C) Make Your Own Option?

One more burst and I'm done for... I'll pretend to lose control and spiral away into the ground...get close to the ground, then swerve up(hopefully they won't watch me all the way down) just in time to not crash. Then, I'll keep an eye on them, hidden in darkness, and wait for a good opportunity to ambush them. Then, I'll have a distinct advantage.

You begin your controlled descent to the ground. The bombers send you off with a parting gift, but you recieve only a glancing blow (-2HP). You reach the ground, and begin your climb back up, manageing to avoid detection. The bombers don't realize your their, so:
A) Climb, than dive down B) Abandon the bombers C) Radio Fighter Command D) Make Your Own Option __________ Name: Fritz von Hasselhof Age: 19 Force: Luftwaffe Rank: Fighter Pilot -------------------- Plane: Messerschmitt 109e (wingman) Plane Name:The Channel Wasp Lvl: 2 40/50 EXP Kills: + + + + HP: 30/30 Fuel Amount: 100/100 Armor: 4 Fuel: 5 Plane Weapons: (4) MG-17 -------------------- Perks: Self-Seal, Red Cross, Turtle Box Bio: Son of a Famous Infantry Officer from WW1, at the bidding of his father he joined up with the Luftwaffe to follow in his father's footsteps to Glory

(really making me work to get my ace huh?) A&C) I follow him into the dive, just slightly shallower so when he levels out I am above and behind him.

D) Make Your Own Option It's nighttime, he's in a stealth fighter, and the enemy doesn't know he's there. Cooper knows he has a very distinct advantage. He stays hidden as much as possible, and shoots at one bomber, then quickly and stealthily moves away and hides, far enough so that when the bombers look for an enemy and start shooting, they won't find him and they won't shoot him, but close enough so that they are still in his sight.

It strikes me as extremely suspicious that some bombers would be flying around over enemy territory without fighter escort. I'm going to fly to an elevation above the fight and use my radar to scan for any enemy formations that might be planning an ambush.

(that, and I want someone to die soon...)
The Hurricane's added weight is allowing him to dive faster than you. Coupled with your shallower dive, and he soon gains a considerable lead. He levels out a short distance from the waves, and you pull out above and behind him (as per your choice). You:

You sneak up on the rear bomber, before letting open with a torrefic torrent of lead. Because your behind the bomber, most of the shots land in the tail, causing light damage. The rear gunners of both bombers, seeing the muzzle flashes, open up on you. They spray your general area, and a few bullets find their marks (-4HP).
Your engine explodes, ripping off the front part of your plane. You enter into a tail spin, and only just manage to bail out before your plane sinks beneath the waves (-1 life, 2 lives left). You land in the waves, and inflate your MAE Vest. You get picked up by a passing fisherman, and begin the long trip back to base (Wait 3 hours, AG TIME). __________ Name: Conan Doyle Arthur Age: 23 Force: RAF Rank: Pilot ---------- Plane: Hawker Hurricane Plane Name: Uppercut Lvl: 2 20/50 EXP HP: 30/30 Fuel Amount: 50/100 Armor: 6 Fuel: 3 Plane Weapons: (4) .303 Browning Machine Guns (MGs) ---------- Perks: Radar, E-MARE-IH-CAN, Bad Birdie Bio: Formerly a street boxer in London, he joined the RAF to battle it out with the Hun on his own "home turf."

You radio command, and as for a report on your sector (radar).
"Uh... looks like those bombers are heading for a rendevous with several other groups in other sectors. Nows the time to attack..."

A) Shoot him down. ( I have him where I want him, he can't dive any farther, and I have the advantage in the climb, checkmate)
