Is the game set in any particular campaign or time period frame within the war?  Or are we going to see campaigns across Europe and North Africa (I know it's Heroes Over Europe, but the Med can count can't it?)

The Campaign focuses on the Battle of Britain, and then the western European battles between England and Germany.  The Mediterranean doesn't feature in the game, but there's enough action there for a whole game on its own.

More importantly which battles will we be focused on in the game? Will we be seeing the famous Battle of Britain, and how have you made sure that each dogfight included is historically accurate?

The Battle of Britain is definitely included in the game across a series of missions, but we also include other famous engagements such as the Battle of the Bulge.

The goal of the Heroes series has never been slavish historical accuracy, we are more focused on providing an authentic and fun experience.  Every mission in the game starts from the historical event - like the Battle of Britain or the Battle of the Bulge - then we make sure there's enough action and challenge for the player.


Can players expect to be involved in bombing runs and escort missions as well as the obvious dogfight missions?

Yes. Heroes Over Europe has a huge variety of mission types, including dogfights, bomber escort, ground attack, and torpedo bombing.

How will the objectives be handled?  Will we have primary and secondary objectives to complete?

Each of the missions is structured as a series of Primary Objectives.  Each mission also has a bonus objective that the player needs to complete to unlock better variations of the planes in the game.

What variety of aircraft will be available?  Can we expect to fly aircraft from only the Allies?

There are over 40 flyable planes in the game, including the British stalwarts - the Spitfire, Hurricane, and Typhoon - and the American planes that were introduced later in the war, like the Mustang, Lightning and Thunderbolt.  There are also a variety of flyable Axis planes, such as the Focke-Wulf, the Me 262 and the Me 109.

In the straight Campaign mode, you can only fly planes from the Allies.  However, once you've completed each mission you can replay it with any viable plane either from the Allies or the Axis.
