Channel mission local time is +2 GMT

[Pikey]

The local, or mission time in the Channel map is ZULU +2. It should remain on the standard unadjusted time which remains GMT/ZULU +0

 

 

I understand that during WW2 the UK created Double British Summer Time, BDST which was Z+2 throughout the second world war period. But this is inconsequential. All standard times are the winter time before adjustments are made. DST is added to the base standard time, we don't live in it, therefore the map should be in GMT and people adjust their clocks as per the month as they would normally do. In the event that the Map is based on France, then France was the same as the UK post war for a little while until they deviated. During occupation, the north was an hour ahead of the south and basically this logditude has undergone so much change that the only sensible time zone available is GMT +0

 

 

 

The local mission time is found by adding a Hornet to the map and flicking the local time on versus the zulu time. You can also get GMT values for sunrise and sunset back to any date and see that the map is correctly timed against a Zulu+2 sunrise or sunset and this is consitent through 1940's to 2020.

 

 

Can this be changed, not least because it's very confusing for mission designers to find sunrise and sunset as they occur at times like 9.30 am Mission time, and it would save people time scratching their heads.

Additionally, Normandy map is Zulu time as expected.

 

Both maps should have the same time zone as they are in the same latitudinal area.
