Battle of Britain is a map set in the English Channel. It depicts the early phase of the eponymous air campaign between United Kingdom and Germany.
Description[]
There are no control points in this map. The Germans start off with a ticket bleed, and must destroy the four radar stations and the factory on the British coast before their ticket pool depletes to zero. Each of the target serves as a spawn point for the British side.
The German force has a large number of bombers available to destroy the targets, as well as a smaller number of fighters to help fend off the defending British fighters. In addition to aircraft, the defending British force also has a large number of Bofors 40mm gun emplacements and machine gun posts for local air defence.
There are a number of coupes dotted across the British side of the map, allowing bailed out pilots to drive back to the British airfields.
Trivia[]
- The map is a direct port of the same map from original Battlefield 1942.
- There are two derivative scenarios in BattleGroup42 that are based on the same location: 4204-Channel Patrol and 4207-Intruder Mission.
