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. More fuel means your faster and can stay up longer, but take more damage) Perks: (pick two, see below) Plane Weapons: (see below) Bio: (A short player bio about your character) ---------- 'see below' appendix British Royal Air Force (RAF): Start out with the Hawker Hurricane. Plane Weapons: (2) .303 Browning Machine Guns (MGs) German Luftwaffe Start out with the Messerschmict BF 109e Plane Weapons: (2) MG-17 __________ 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. __________

You bank away, and begin to fly around the Normandy Coast, burning up more fuel (-15 Fuel). You soon happen across another airfield, but their searchlights are scanning the skies. It appears less defended, but there definately looking for you...

Take out the searchlights with my machine guns first, then bomb the place where the fighters are at(wherever that is), and then speed off as fast as I can.

You aim at the nearest searchlight, and begin to fire at it. It blinks out, but now the other two searchlights have a fix on you. Flak begins to come up, and score several hits on you (-8HP). You also see fighters beginning to scramble as you take out the last searchlight.
You line up with the airstrip, and begin to get the planes from behind. You bring down one (+10 XP, Ace, Level Up), but three manage to get airborn. You flee from the airstrip, and head back out over the channel.

"Uh, negative on that. We've got a squadron of bombers that got ambushed enroute to London, and they need assistance."

Hmm... Double back in order to lose any pursuers, then head back to the airfield.

Lets do it, I call up my wingman and we head out to help the bombers.

You double back (-5 Fuel), in the hopes that you can evade your pursuers. But, you manage to fly right into the midst of them... o.O __________ Name: Jorden Adler Age: 20 Force: Luftwaffe Rank: Fighter Pilot -------------------- Plane: Messerschmidt BF 109e (wingman) Plane Name: Wanderfalke Lvl: 3 55/100 EXP Kills: Ace HP: 45/45 Fuel Amount: 100/100 Armor: 4 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 signal to your wingman, and begin the flight to aid the bombers. You reach the sector without a hitch, and see 5 bombers assailed by multiple RAF Fighters. You still a ways a way, and need to do some tactics.

Hm. I'll do some fancy evasive maneuvers so they don't shoot me(I'm assuming they got the drop on me) then open fire to even the odds a little bit(hopefully that will give them pause for a moment) then run! Run away!

You peform a few evasive maneuvers, and then flee towards england. Hurricanes are slower than 109's, though, so your pretty much in the same boat. They open up on your tail, and score a few hits (-8HP). You also do some quick math, and realize you don't have enough fuel to make it to England on your present course...

Nearest non-enemy controlled space? Also; I'm not flying a Hurricane, 'tis a Mosquito.

o.O
*rewinds*
England is the nearest, guarenteed safe zone, in theory. However, ints night, and its raining, so...

Crash land? I don't suppose anyone will be able to see where I go.

You manage to evade the 109s, and begin to head back to England. Your flying solely by your instruments, as the night and rain makes visiblity nonexistant. Soon, your engine begins to sputter, then cough; your out of fuel. You bail out, and land in the frigid waters of the English Channel.
After getting dropped off at port by a passing fishing trawler, you head back to base and explain what happens.
Your superior is very upset, to say the least:
"Very dissapointed... more economic to fly higher on less fuel... poor choices... spent too much time over Normandy..."
You lose a life, leaving you with one more:
1) Watch your fuel level: Don't spend too long in one area, or else you'll run out of fuel and can't make it home (as you just found out)
2) Higher elevations means less air resistance. You can fly further on less fuel. I said *on your present course*, as a hint... (atleast, I'm pretty sure I did...)
