<t> Just to clarify. Related to the point "ongoing game". I do not search someone to take a game over, instead if someone has a <br/>
running game i have no problem to take over if the allied player has stopped. Even if the allied are in a very bad position. <br/>
<br/>
It depends on the position ...

<t> I had an ongoing SCEN 1 PBEM which i took over in 1/43 with 5 allied carriers sunk and china lost. So i deliberately searched challenge. Game went on for 18 months with around a turn a day but my opponent decided to surrender a little bit premature in 11/44. We had a turn 99% of all days with ...

Rerun the test with layered CAP from 6k-12k. I´d expect a better result then.<br/>
<br/>
With CAP at 15k and Betties at 6k you are putting the escorts right between the CAP and the bombers ...

The strange thing about your test is that you achieved the best result with less fighters. In the first test with 200 planes you destroyed a bunch of attackers, the more you added the less you ...

<t> I remembered that it was already stated my michaelm in the tech forum that arrival of CAP also counts as a round which is subtracted from the 200(300) rounds limit.<br/>

My two cents about the leak CAP issue. Of cause the code needs some polish, but as develop team indicated, a "easy fix" probably brings more undesired ramification. Generally speaking, leak CAP(though needs some further tweak) is at least ...

Problem 1: overstacked airfield<br/>
Problem 2: escorts (and good escort fighters as oscars are maneuverable) outnumbering CAP enough to make it useless.

Question: ( just to help me get my head around it ).<br/>

If there are 50 flights of fighters ( say 400 planes with 8 planes a flight ) and 400 bombers in 100 flights do 50 flights of fighters (400 fighters) engage 50 flights of bombers ...

<t> Basically that "problem" is quite old.<br/>
<br/>
Another method to detect is to just recon every available base. The at the begin of your turn quickly check each base and if it is deep red but recon only reports a 20 or 30 planes -> nuke it.<br/>
<br/>
I am not sure if the recon information ...

Hmm, that isn't the way I read it. I read a firing pass to mean a single plane vs single plane but drawn from 8 plane elements. Perhaps michael could clarify. Your reading does put a different spin on it. <br/>

No, the new exe your game and mine is using helps tremendously in the fighter vs fighter round but it appears that as we've looked deeper we've uncovered a hard limit on the number of firing passes vs bombers. Basically whether ...
