A major update has just landed in Scramble: Battle of Britain, and with it comes a new challenge for RAF pilots: the Dornier 17, one of the Luftwaffe’s most iconic twin-engine bombers, is now available as an AI-controlled enemy in the core game!
With the arrival of the Do 17, we’re introducing a brand-new layer of tactical complexity to bomber engagements. Players will encounter this new threat in fresh missions featuring enhanced mechanics and an improved UI that will help to track, intercept, and break up the new enemy formations.
We have reinforced every aspect of bomber intercept missions in Scramble. Pilots may now find bombers escorted by enemy fighters who join the dogfight on a turn delay. Bombers AI will employ evasive maneuvers, and a depleted bomber formation may decide to turn and retreat rather than continue to their objective.
Scramble bombers are now modeled with animated bomb bay doors and slings. Damaged bombers will jettison their payloads before turning for home, and aircraft with multiple stations will bail all their live crew when fatally damaged.
Watch the Do17 in action:
Meet the Dornier 17 and New Enemy Formations
Nicknamed “The Flying Pencil” for its sleek, narrow design, the Dornier 17 was a fast, agile, low-level bomber that caught many RAF airfields off guard in the early stages of the war.
Its maneuverability at low altitudes, combined with multiple defensive gun positions, makes it a serious threat in the sky. A well-coordinated Do 17 formation can saturate the air with suppressive fire, forcing RAF pilots to rely on teamwork, timing, and precision. But don’t stick around too long: enemy fighters will be on your tail, diving in to provide top cover for the bombers.
