0.6.8 Scenario Dunkirk Evacuation


Dunkirk

A highly anticipated new event.

Scenario Introduction

The name of the scenario is”Dynamo”, which is exactly the codename for this operation in history.

This scenario requires seven Tier 4 to Tier 6 destroyers. Player CANNOT use aircraft carriers, battleships, or cruisers.

Players need to escort smaller ships to the south coast and rescue the trapped British soldiers (French, and Belgians), and then retreat back to British coast through a mine field under German's coastal artillery, torpedo boats and air raid.

Dogfight

In the entire scenario, both Germans and Brits will send large waves of aircraft. Luftwaffe have Bf109, Bf110, He111, and Ju87; RAF have Hurricane Mk1, Paul Defiant, and Hudson.

Luftwaffe have unlimited plane reserve, and can send 12 fighters, 24 dive bombers and 3 torpedo bombers at once. Players have the opportunity to counter it with a successful completion of secondary tasks, and reduce that number to 4 fighters, 8 dive bombers and 18 torpedo bombers.

RAF has only 36 planes available, should players manage to weaken the enemy's air force, allied fighters could easily handle enemy's torpedo bombers and scout mines for players.

Survivability of all aircraft are adjusted so that a tight group of destroyers can fight off them. On the contrast, if enemy aircraft managed to make a drop: 10000 damage torpedoes with 40 knots plus extremely accurate dive bombing are deadly threats to an isolated ship.

Minefield

In term of game mechanic, mines are stationary torpedoes, but they have better concealment and each deals 14400 damage, a low-tier destroyer may suffer a sudden death if it hits a mine.

Torpedo Boat

German Scnellboot is a small boat that launches 2 torpedoes at once, but it does not have a main gun. However, every s-boat has 3 AA guns and they do kill allied fighters.

  1. Little correction here, "Players need to escort smaller ships to the south coast to rescue trapped British and FRENCH soldiers"

    Dynamo was not a "British-only thing" (even though it was an evac operation ordered by the British without warning their Belgian and French allies…). There were dozens of thousands French and Belgian soldiers holding the Germans off and acting as the rearguard. Around 40.000 of them were left behind on the beaches.
