No, it isn't. I would welcome some research on that because I did a brief search for the next patch and didn't see anything significant in the way of an effective countermeasures. Also, the axis ground radar seems overly simplified in the game with just the 2 types, but models the overall ...

Is the axis ground radar equipment also updating over time, to encounter "Windows" and the SN-2 jamming?

Returning to the game after a year and restarted as axis with the new patch (v1.06.57) I noticed a few strange things:

When allied bombers bombing through cloud cover and the lead bomber miss, all the following bombers always hit the target spot on.

Night interceptions are more rare than before ...

Agreed. I had 2 aces with 5 victories each and quite a few on 4. Remember the Italians are only in the scenario for 1 week so to test them it would be better to go for the '41 scenario.<br/>

Campaign over on turn 42 - LW victory.<br/>
I had hit 16 points for victory on turn 39, again on turn 40. Was wondering if it needed to be on a turn 31 multiple as on turn 41 I dropped to 15.<br/>
Massive effort on turn 42 took me to 18 ...

Pre-Xmas time didn't allow me much progress but Stuka casualties are still pretty horrifying. It is more than clear that a good escort isn't enough, unlike for bombers where a similar escort works good.<br/>
I will try to consider sweeps ...

The next patch reduces air-air combat effectiveness a bit. Casualties for airbase FS have softened a few versions back so I'd like to hear more about how often you see these types of successes and if it is a viable strategy to victory.

<r> I think that fighter sweeps hovering over enemy bases are way to effective inflicting kills on landing aircrafts.<br/>

I just score 31 kills with a fighter sweep with II/JG 53 over Tangmere, picking off Hurricanes and Spitfires without any losses. Ok I liked it because I'm playing axis ...

I started a new 1943 axis campaign with the new patch and on day four the USAAF raided the Kapsack Goldenberg kraftanlage south of Cologne with 200+ B-17s. <br/>

I set the gruppen at 18, 19, 20 and 21K, not all at one height. The airbourne radar only covers so much height difference, but once you get a positive sighting the plots height is confirmed and any interceptions will be accordingly.

AI nearly always sends in at max altitude. Some of those 12k plots will be Stirlings. Set between 18-21k so you can be in position to either use the SM from below or dive on bombers illuminated by the fires below. The conversion of ...

<t> Is there any hidden quality/morale difference between the various axis allies?<br/>

In my game, currently at 3 jan 1944, the Hungarians and the Slovaks (the 13 Letka unit) seems way better than the Romainians and Bulgarians. They seems to suffer less low morale from losses and produce ...

The supply lines in the south of France definitly seams broken. None of the four divisions along the coast receive supply, and I have no rail damage there. The troble spot seams to be around the Area "Orange", no white lines goes thru that railhead, as if the rail is broken.

<t> I don't want to move around the Stabs if I can avoid it. My Stab units have some of the best pilots (8 of my 10 best top pilot is Stab pilots), they are needed to kill stragglers and take out recons. They are also good at hitting small packs of returning US escorts.<br/>

Speaking of italian units. It would be nice if some of the pilots in the disbanded units do a "comeback" in the Salo Republic air units that appear in 1944, with their previous experience, mission numbers and kills.
