Players lead squadrons of Luftwaffe and RAF fighters, planning maneuvers, witnessing real-time simulations, and analyzing battle damage with detailed camera tools.

Set in a dynamic 3D airspace, this simultaneous-turn-based game embraces the intricate details of aerodynamics and physics-based simulation unique to the piloting experience while minimizing time and reflex demands. Players lead their squadrons through intense aerial battles as Luftwaffe and RAF fighters clash over the English Channel. Through each gameplay phase—Planning, Simulation, and Review—players strategize and command aerial maneuvers, witness simulation outcomes in real-time, and rewind the action to analyze battle damage using detailed camera tools.

Explore the heart-pounding tactical space of a dogfight within a digestible turn-based environment. Sight the enemy, identify threats and targets, then take control and command loops, rolls, and dives as you pilot each aircraft in a deadly fight for survival.
The planning phase of a Scramble turn grants players the situational awareness and control fidelity to execute textbook-quality fighter combat tactics and maneuvering. Zoom out to a diorama view of the sky and manipulate a suite of tools to understand how each plane and pilot fit into the wider battlespace.

The simulation phase of a Scramble turn resolves your tactics in a high speed hail of bullets and shredded aluminum, and the review phase allows you to scrub through the action frame-by-frame. Assess battle damage, identify pilots in need of escape, and celebrate the exhilarating action at your preferred pace, from your favorite angles.

Strategy fans will soon be able to take to the skies of Slitherine’s tactical dogfighting game Scramble: Battle of Britain.

A demo for the game will be free to download during Steam Next Fest from 10th to 17th June, giving players the chance to experience its thrilling mechanics firsthand.

In Scramble, aircraft are simulated down to the subcomponent level to offer an authentic World War II combat piloting experience. The best tacticians will explore the flight envelope of each airframe and master the trades in dive, climb, and turn performance.
Bullets will tear through fuel tanks, radiators, and engines, springing leaks and starting fires. Ailerons and elevators will rip off under stress, drastically altering aircraft aerodynamics. Pilots will fatigue and black out, and are as vulnerable to well placed shots as any mechanical component of their aircraft.

Nurse a sputtering engine, dash for land before that leak bleeds your fuel tanks dry, or bail out and hope for a rescue; aircraft and pilot vulnerability can shift the objectives of any battle from enemy destruction to survival.

Step into the shoes of an RAF Squadron Commander and relive the historic Battle of Britain. Recruit and train your squadron of pilots, leverage the expertise of your section leaders to guide new recruits through the shock of combat. Patrol the Channel, dismantle and repel Luftwaffe raids, poach vulnerable enemy formations. Manage the physical and emotional strain on your men, identify leaders and forge heroes. With pilots risking their lives every mission, can you keep your squadron alive in the face of relentless danger?

Missions in Scramble: Battle of Britain are designed to challenge even the most seasoned pilots. Players can engage in an Instant Action Skirmish Generator for quick, high-octane dogfights, or delve into meticulously crafted single-player missions featuring iconic aircraft such as the Spitfire, Bf 109, and Stuka bomber.

For those looking to relive and share their most epic dogfights, Scramble: Battle of Britain includes a suite of cinematic tools. These tools allow players to direct camera movement, set reference points, and track targets, with hideable UI layers to ensure your content looks just right. Saveable match replays mean you can return later to capture and share stunning videos and still images of your aerial battles.

Scramble: Battle of Britain is currently in development and will launch at an unconfirmed date on PC (Steam).
