<t> Basic question: how does the game decide how many of a given piece of equipment to "export" per turn? I've been playing the Italy 43-45 scenario, as the Allies through the end of April '44 so far (43) turns, and I'm seeing almost all P-38J/K production being exported to F-5Cs, and most B-24H/J p...

RE: Question from Neptune's Inferno

<t> I question the quality of that book in general (yes, I've read it), and this idea of a "duty carrier" for CAP I find particularly questionable for one simple reason: American doctrine in 1942 was to operate carriers in single-carrier task forces, each employed as a separate tactical entity.

RE: Wow, what is this?!

<t> According to Hogg, one or the other of Gustav and Dora (yes, there were two) were used at Sevastopol, Stalingrad, and Leningrad, and probably not at Warsaw (more likely the slightly-less-insane 60cm siege howitzers). Gustav (which was the gun at Sevastopol, not Dora) fired maybe 300 shots total ...
