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 ...

Feedback from V1.06.83 including Hotfix - Comments and Issues

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 ...

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

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,

AKL

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

Hi,

Just trying to remember if the JG300, 301 and 302 gps can flip to day ftrs at some point? I sort of remember something about that a long time ago ....

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???

Cheers,

Feedback from Playing New Patch v1.06.83HFX1

Hi to the BTR Team as always,

Firstly my continued thanks for the effort to keep this game going and work and effort that you apply to it. I have played the game on and off for about 24 years now I think! Ok some feedback on the latest patch playing as the Axis in the 1943 long campaign; current ...

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 ...

Difference Between Steam Version and Matrix version?

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could cast some light/guidance on the difference between the Steam version v1.12.07 and the listed Matrix version v1.04.01? Are they different? I was thrown a bit by looking at the Hobby General video on youtube by his completely different (and far better looking) UI ...

Re: Significant Problem with Game and Allied AI

Thanks for the reply Simovitch and co,

I'll keep going until Jan 44 and let you know. BC is in a dark period at the moment ref moonlight and has not really had many casualties at all (due to the lack of night fighting and not flying often). I hope that in the next build that you are able to allow ...

Significant Problem with Game and Allied AI

Hi,

I have an inexplicable problem for Simovitch and the team; the allied AI has stopped flying ... completely, not even recon flights and on both Fronts, West and Med. I wandered back into my Axis Game (all games started with new patch) which was at the 10 Nov 43. Played that turn and as usual a ...

Re: 8th AF Bombing Uboat Pens

Hi Simovitch,

I am wondering if this UPEN issue is the reason why the game is so boring playing as the Axis against the AI. It sort of explains why my game has hit December 43 and 8th AF still only hits the Uboat pens in France and about twice a month bombs shallow into Belgium and the Paris area ...

Re: 8th AF Bombing Uboat Pens

Hmmm, it really is a pest. 12 UPEN in a row, then a break for two days to hit other targets, and now another 4 in a row!!! Driving me nuts, can't even hit UFACs (if that actually helps) as they can't be targeted .....

Re: 8th AF Bombing Uboat Pens

Hi Simovitch,

Sorry been offline for a couple of days. No, U-Boat Factories cannot be bombed by 8th AF whilst UPEns are listed as mandatory targets. I had mandatory UPEN targeting for two more turns making it an amazing/appalling 12 times in a row! I then finally had two turns without mandatory ...

Hi Simovitch and others,

I think something is really off in this Uboat pen bombing or I have the unluckiest run in the games history! I have now had my 10th straight requirement to bomb the Uboat pens!!! I note that as at the 9th time it was required I had reduced the pens at Brest, Lorient and St ...

8th AF Bombing Uboat Pens

Hi,

Been playing an Allied Long Campaign with the new patch and am wondering if there is an issue with the ridiculous amount of mandatory missions to bomb Uboat Pens. I am at the 21/09/43 and have just got my 7th turn in a row (!) to hit the Uboat pens. Lorient and Nazaire are already in the red ...

Re: How do you deal with deep raids from Italy - or don't you?

Hi,

In general I pull back to Germany, Austria and Rumania/Hungary after the 15th AF gets active; they have so many long range escorts and as usual I find it near impossible to bounce their fighters!!! Even witha height advantage of 10000 feet they still bounce me, I really have no idea how it ...
