Re: Gary Grigsby’s Eagle Day to Bombing of the Reich - Update v1.06.101

Hi all,

I have given this build a good try but have found that there are a number of persistent issues that will force me back to an earlier build. The work by the team, and particularly Simovitch, has been outstanding, but unfortunately a number of critical problems persist despite their best ...

Re: Gary Grigsby’s Eagle Day to Bombing of the Reich - Update v1.06.101

Morning Simovitch,

Quick update, have an Axis and Allied Campaign running under this version. Game currently at 02/09/1943 (15 Turns in). Day combat seems on target though I haven't yet tried a mass assault on a B17 raid, will probably occur when they go for the UFACs in the North. Night combat ...

Re: Gary Grigsby’s Eagle Day to Bombing of the Reich - Update v1.06.101

Hi Simovitch,

Well done on getting out another update, your work is always appreciated and respected. I am 10 turns in and though I haven't attacked any of the 8th AF raids as of yet (they have just hit some clusters in Belgium that I have largely ignored due to the heavy ftr escort, I'll wait for ...

Re: Campaign Games - upgrade bug fixed?

Hi and thanks for the replies. I will hold of buying at this stage because I would really want to play the dynamic campaign (? Long time ago but I think that is the one where you started as a bn cold and worked up to become a Div come). Will continue to monitor the site.

Campaign Games - upgrade bug fixed?

Hi,

It’s been many years since I’ve played these games (EF and WF) and I was considering buying them again. I stopped playing these games campaign games where you start as a coy or bn commander and worked your way up to Div due to a bug which corrupted your upgrades and replacements. Upgraded ...

No worries and thanks for the reply; I will never criticise the excellent work you do and will only try and provide accurate feedback.

Hi Simovitch,

You know I am never harsh in my judgements and have followed the game and your excellent work for over 20 years now. Perhaps in my frustration I may have appeared more direct but I assure you the bug is there still and just as grim as before; from an axis point of view it does make ...

Straggler Chasing makes v1.06.98 Unworkable

Hi Simovitch,

Thought I'd play on a bit further but it seems a bit of a waste of time due to the chasing stragglers issue. Had several hundred Italian and German acft waiting near Rome for an incoming allied raid. Bounced an unescorted B26 Gp with 0ver 200 acft; first contact was by 24 x Macchi ...

Firstly and foremost I wish to again thank Simovitch and all the others who continue to keep this game alive and improving: outstanding work! I finished my last game as Axis vs the computer in the long campaign under the last version of the game (including the hotfix). It finished in ...

Re: Feedback from V1.06.83 including Hotfix - Comments and Issues

Hi,

12 of each type that you wish to field in the end. I started with the ME109 G5 AS and when that came on line started producing about 20 + of them a day and when I had sufficient numbers slowly began changing their production to research on TA 152 and FW190D. The key is to have at least 10 -12 ...

Re: Feedback from V1.06.83 including Hotfix - Comments and Issues

Hi Cones2002,

On day 1 of the Long Campaign convert all the small acft engine factories ( the 1,2,3, and a few 4 capacity) to producing about 12 to 14 of the engine types you will need for; firstly the ME109G5 AS, then the 213A engine for the FW190D, the 213E engine for the TA152H, as many as I can ...

Hi All,

Playing as Axis vs Allied AI long campaign, version as above. Current game date 26th Feb 1944.

OK; in summary day fighting in Western Europe has been greatly improved with the work the team has done on the game. It has taken me until this date to break the backbone of the 8thAF (see losses ...

Hi Simovitch,

Sorry for delay in reply, got deployed for a very short gig. Yes, more than happy to see what you have come up with and give it a test if you like. I note the excellent work you have done with the allied AI in the long campaign, best it has ever been by a long shot! Some time in the ...

Re: Do the SE Night Fighters Convert to Day Ftrs at some point?

Hi Mark, Thank you for the info and reply. I wish more could be turned to day combat as the Night fighting part of the campaign is woeful, though I know the team has been trying for years to find the right balance. Again, thank you.

Cheers,

Re: Feedback from Playing New Patch v1.06.83HFX1

Hi Simovitch,

No, info came from flying Stabs as recon at 3400ft over the incoming formations. also noted that that the me110 G2 couldn't reach them which sort of confirmed it. However, the good news is that it seemed to be an anomaly as they are now flying at 21-23k again. Anyway, playing on as ...

Re: Feedback from Playing New Patch v1.06.83HFX1

Hmmm, further to my previous feedback 9 out of the last 11 x B17G raids have been bombing at 30k and 31k, with an average of 72% accuracy!!! Don't think that should be working like that or bombing from that height???

AI Change to Avalanche Targetting in New Patch?

Hi,

Started a new long campaign as Axis player and I am up to the 05 Jun 43. I have noted that the allied bombers, notably the B17 groups and some of the mediums are hitting power/chem/steel works in Italy. Isn't this against Avalanche targeting requirements or has something changed in the new ...
