<r> Sorry for the delay in responding - new job and heavy load teaching in the evenings as well.<br/>

I have uploaded a save game in the tech support forum, missions planned and ready for the phase to be ended. The missions are plotted according to the aircraft numbers and types as given in ...

<t> Save file attached to look at problem discussed in the main WitW forum.<br/>

This is the first turn of the Weakest Link scenario with historical raids plotted (actually from the following week, as few raids were made into Germany by Bomber Command during the first game week).<br/>
<br ...

<t> 1. Night fighters could and did escort bombers, usually flying about eight miles to the side of the course of the bomber stream to catch NJ trying to join it from the sides, or patrolling above it. I've just about given up with this pig of a game but will provide a scan of some information from ...

<r> Sorry Helpless I'm simply not seeing anything like historical losses. Here is a typical bomber mission - 24 Mosquitos on escort, 20 shot down. This is with the beta patch, normal settings, no fog of war. <br/>
<br/>
I have a save game if you want to look at it. <br/>
<br/>

<br ...

<r> Several people have commented on the heavy losses Allied night fighters (NF) suffer, especially under the beta patch, so I thought I would dig out some historical information on both NF and German Nachtjagd (NJ) to compare with the game. The table below summarises the information available to me ...

The cannon pads on the Bf 109 were widely disliked by pilots as they significantly affected the aircraft's performance. Aircraft armed with them should fare badly against identical aircraft without them.

Thanks [:)]

Save game uploaded in the tech support forum Helpless, thanks.

<t> Save game file for the aircraft altitude issue described in the thread on the main page. Running under the 1.01.20 public beta this is the first turn of the 'Weakest Link' scenario with only two missions enabled - the main force raid is simply to try and draw up a large number of German night ...

<t> Mosquito bomber losses for September 1944 where 1xMk IV, 5x Mk XVI, and 6xMk XX for a total of 12 aircraft either failed to return or written off on landing out of 1,715 sorties, so if the losses are operational I have lost more aircraft in 200 sorties than Bomber command did for the entire ...

<r> Running the turn again I get the following losses - would operational losses show as this?<br/>

<r> I’ve been playing around with the strategic air war, especially the night campaign as it is the one that interests me the most. There are a number of issues I have seen. The first is the loss rate for Mosquito bombers which are shot down with depressing regularity, in far, far greater numbers ...

<t> Does that abstraction include the see-saw nature of EW during the war? In mid 1943 the introduction of window demolished the effectiveness of the German defences, but they recovered rapidly and by early 1944 had to all intents and purposes defeated Bomber Command as the EW balance of EW was ...

<r> This might interest some people as well. For COBRA the USAAF had asked for a minimum of 3,000 yards between the target box and friendly troops. Bradley wanted to be closer so the heavy and medium bombers target bx was set no closer than 1450 yards, with the fighter-bombers attacing a narrow ...
