Its interesting how different players have different experiences. I only pay the Allies so I don't know exactly what happens. My Baltimore's do not appear to be any better than the Bostons, B25 & B26's in the Med. They also don't face a lot of defenders over Italy I also cant see that 4 x .303 are ...

There is too much reliance on all of the interactions taking place in a vacuum.

Maybe the Radar was being interfered with, or having problems in a system only a few years old, dont forget its not the well developed systems of the 21st century.

Europe is renowned for its clouds, maybe there were ...

There are half a dozen options, but in Autumn, Winter 1943 you do not have enough long range fighters to achieve them.
So it plug away, try to create attrition and keep your points rising until the P51 & longer ranged P47 arrive, plus 15AF can start hitting those Southern Germany and Austrian ...

Thanks Guys, I have been mulling over this for a few weeks, and as I typed the thread thought of the answer.

So now the plan is to kill aircraft in the air and on the ground!

Gday, I'm a numbers man and in lieu of having a "Tracker" type program I capture the daily numbers from the Campaign Summary.

Firstly, I assume they are accurate and not subject to Fog of War.

Playing the latest patches through 50ish days I have found many occasions where the Total Aircraft ...

Still in Aug 43, are they reported as cancelled or just not flying??
I'll keep my eyes open.

1. But it could be that the engine allocates fewer RAF types to a combat and they get overwhelmed, or at least are less effective.

2. But why are they fixed whereas the USAAF type are optional. It could affect range, climbing speed and maneuverability until AFTER the 109s or 190s bounce you.

Some thought about Spitfire, and RAF fighters in general.
1. RAF squadrons are smaller than the USAAF units, does the Combat system put them at a disadvantage??

2. Many RAF Fighters, including the IX and XIV seem to have "fixed" bombs and Slipper Tanks. The USAAF fights have an option to change out ...

Re the Pumpkin Pie recipie,
3 Cups of Sugar!!!!
Canned Pumpkin!!!!

Best chance of getting the Brits to perform to expectation!

G'day Hans, We gave up playing it some years back

Be Happy, the Russian Bear is joining soon

IMVHO, the range shown doesnt include forming up, climbing to altitude etc plus I feel that some types of fighters escort some types of bombers better, for example my B26B get slaughtered!

Take Ramree Island an build it up, also take Prome to avoid the river crossing when assaulting Rangoon.

Do rockets have any characteristics such as being fired outside of LAA range etc?

2TAF had distinctive Bomb or Rocket equipped squadrons which allowed experience and skill to build in the relevant field. By D-Day 2TAF had 11 Rocket and 7 Bomb equipped Typhoon Squadrons.

As being said, after 15 ships, there is diminishing return.

That does not mean flak would somehow lessen, just that additional ships don't contribute all their flak. But they still add up.

I always fill CV TF to max 25 ships. There is bit of downside in this, though...you increase chances of ...

You also have to hit Bremen & the other UBoat pens in that area, I also believe that hitting the UBoat factories helps. Dont be afraid to use Bomber Command as well/.

Norfolk Island is overated at (0), there still isnt a port and the slightest seas makes portage awkward.
