I've been playing a fair bit of BF1 lately myself. I would like to second that Operations is a pretty great game mode.

Some of the more interesting manuals:

Royal Air Force Buffalo Mk. I

Soviet Air Force P-39

Lockheed P-80A

Focke-Wulf TA-152

North American X-15

Northrop XB-35

Northrop YB-49

Bell YFM-1 Airacuda

Ah Forgive me, a bunch of these have already been posted. My bad!

May I nominate this terrible T-34 pretending to be some German tank?

P-38L with P-38F style cowlings and a lack of turbo-superchargers. This threw me, and for a split second I thought I was looking at a Model 322 or Lightning I in RAF parlance.

Alright, I like it.

First match too.

Is that a currently flying P-36 Hawk?

Let's call it the B-229 Horten!

I'll admit I've been shockingly ignorant of this program though. So this is a replacement for the B-52 then I take it?

Obligatory XB-70 Picture.

I thought they already had like 4 playable tanks.

I think it does. A guy over in my Cliffs of Dover group posted a video of camping an airfield in T-34s and taking potshots at Fw-190s as they came in to land.

On the subject of the IL-2 Series and Tanks, the Team Fusion mod added drivable tanks to Cliffs of Dover, which admittedly I haven't tried. TF also has the advantage of making Cliffs of Dover a much, much, much better game.

I've been enjoying it a lot myself. The combat is very fun, sailing around looking for battles in PvE is pretty cool. The ships themselves are absolutely incredible looking, and visually the battles are very impressive.

Agreed on the price though.

Latest Unicum's Guide killed me:

 

So, I'm not going to lie. I'm a little surprised (and immensely happy) he got away with this one.

When I remove Animea, I go with the PLA Navy!

Nice one Colli!

As a Des Moines owner in boats, I highly recommend it!

I'll be the first to admit this is odd for no shortage of reasons, but the Bf-108 is easily my favorite German aircraft of WWII.

When I was doing research for work, we covered some of the local Shipyard stuff. I'm eager to see that when it finally comes out.

Rather impressive scoreboard on a USAAF B-17 assigned to the Pacific theater.

As a resident of Richmond, I would have loved to have seen the Henry Kaiser Shipyard and Mare Island Shipyards operating at full swing during the war. The sight had to be absolutely incredible.

What in Hathor's glorious name is the purpose of that monster?
