Scramble: Battle of Britain - Flight School, Episode #1

The Battle of Britain opened in the summer of 1940 over the waters of the English Channel with precise, harassing attacks on shipping convoys, and eventually blossomed into massive raids of hundreds of twin-engined bombers targeting cities and industry.

Legends were made for cutting-edge airframes like the Spitfire and Me109, while more established, heavier types like the Stuka and Bf110 proved far more vulnerable than in previous conflicts. The Royal Air Force demonstrated that a nation could, indeed, mount a meaningful defense against heavy bombers with a force of disciplined and practiced fighter pilots equipped with fast, nimble planes.

In Scramble players will pilot the most prominent fighter planes of the Luftwaffe and RAF and employ them in fighter patrols, bomber escorts, and raid interceptions.




The initial release will include 4 playable fighters and 5 AI bombers:

RAF Fighters
  • Supermarine Spitfire
  • Hawker Hurricane

Luftwaffe Fighters
  • Messerschmitt 109
  • Messerschmitt 110

AI RAF Bombers
  • Bristol Blenheim

AI Luftwaffe Bombers
  • Junkers 87 “Stuka”
  • Dornier 17
  • Junkers 88
  • Heinkel 111


Spitfires are quick and agile and can hold a high angle of attack. The Me109 can dive and roll faster than any aircraft in the game. Hurricanes pull the tightest sustained turn and can sustain more punishment than the other single-engine fighters. The Bf110 is the slowest fighter in Scramble, but its heavy armament and tail gunner make it dangerous from two directions.



The dogfights of Scramble simulate with real-time physics, and every aircraft is uniquely modeled with aerodynamics and mechanical subsystems that respond procedurally to location-based damage.

Bombers in Scramble are larger, slower, and better armored than any fighters, and full of subsystems and components to be riddled with bullets. Players will relish the sight of an unescorted group of sluggish single-engine Stukas or the undergunned Bristol Blenheims. Formations of Do17s and Ju88s may have enough pace to escape distracted predators, and even a single He111 sports enough turret gunners to defend itself against predictable attacks.

Scramble: Battle of Britain - Announced

Scramble: Battle of Britain was the second of the four big announcements that took place last week during Home Of Wargames Live+, Slitherine's main event of 2021.

Scramble: Battle of Britain is a simultaneous turn-based dogfighting game. Set in a 3D airspace, the game features fast-paced, tactical combat with dynamic flight physics.

Each turn is divided into three phases: planning phase, action phase, and review phase. Survey the aerial battlefield, plan your flight paths, execute spectacular manoeuvres, scrub through time to assess battle damage, and defeat your enemies through masterful tactics and captivating aerobatics.



Marco Minoli, Sltiherine's Marketing Director, invited James Carey, Slitherine's Game Director, and together they discussed the main challenges behind the production and design of the game. If you missed the announcement, have a look here:

Marco and James also had a chat about the game’s origin, which started as a small project and became one of our most promising IPs.
