You may note at this point that the Cliffs of Dover series counts aircraft differently with each variation and modification counted as a separate aircraft unlike in the Great Battles Series where they are typically counted as one aircraft and then modified from there. Nonetheless, its an impressive list of types including a few that are rarely or never seen in a flight sim.
Media releases
A lot of screenshots have been released in recent days as well showing off their Ju88A-5, D.520, Tomahawk Mark II, Bf109F-2 and Spitfire Vb.
A new video showing off a Beaufighter attack at dawn is another release that has come out from the team recently.
Release coming soon?
Although no release date has been revealed to the best of my knowledge, it does appear that Team Fusion’s testing of their latest content is going well and that development is potentially on track for a 2020 release. Stay tuned for more!
