Defending the Reich - Dixie vs Swift - AXIS Thread

turn 25 - 9/10/43

I tried to intercept some of his daily tactical raids in Italy.........but my boys were most often too late.......we will try some other time again.
Because of these missions, I moved some of the used units to new airbases.

[wernerpruckner]

During the night BC and 205th Group were very active!
This time some of my nightfighters were able to kill some enemy A/C......most of them with Wilde Sau tactics.....several damaged bombers later crashed into the sea.

My own AA was very active but it did kill more of my own tahn enemy A/C ( 3 NF vs 2bombers were killed due to AA fire..... [:(] )

[wernerpruckner]

here an overview over Dixie´s missions.......

[wernerpruckner]

LOsses were not bad on both sites....we still wait for a big day with 100 and more losses/kills [:D]

[wernerpruckner]

9/11/43 - only minor tactical Allied stuff - Luftwaffe is resting and deploying some units

[wernerpruckner]

9/12/43

still mostly shortrange tactical stuff...but Dixie now starts to use more and more force for these raids.
30 vs 10 losses, and nothing imprtant hit [8D]

[wernerpruckner]

9/13/43

More tactical raids........this time the Allied fighters were able to kill 9 Bf109G-6 on the ground (additional 2 were damaged!)

Also the total kill loss ratio was not very good 16 Axis vs 17 Allied A/C [:(]

During the night several raids against French ports and UPENs.

Only nice thing today - my fist fighter ace!

9/15/43
weather over the UK and Central Europe
 
a few tactical raids in Italy....all very close to the frontlines........many enemy recce missions in Italy - two enemy planes were killed due to AA fire.
 
I use the resting time for refreshing and regrouping my units and strengthen the AA forces in Italy.....

9/16/43

still quite quiet on the Western Front.....only few enemy close range missions during the day.
In the night lots of action with tons of RCM and NIs......I lost 8 nightfighters on two airfields.

[wernerpruckner]

9/17/43

a better day for the Luftwaffe - a bunch of enemy fighter were caught by interceptors and FlaK!
During the night the Luftwaffe was grounded!

[wernerpruckner]

The nightfighters in northern Germany are now only using well protected ( [8|] ) A/Fs.
I moved all railroad AA units for their protection.

[wernerpruckner]

9/18/43

only few coastal daylight raids.
during the night BC was very busy and my NFs once again did not score any kills....but several enemy NIs got lucky (6 more Bf110G-4 lost!)

Overall losses: 6 Allied vs 6 Axis

[wernerpruckner]

9/19/43
 
what a bad day! a Bf109 Gruppe got mauled (9 lost Bf109s in that Gruppe)  and also the other intercepts sucked!
 
15 Allied for 26 Axis A/C! Not a day to be proud of.......

[wernerpruckner]

In the night lots of action with tons of RCM and NIs......I lost 8 nightfighters on two airfields.

How did you lose the 8 night-fighters on the two fields? Were they landing?

[wernerpruckner]

yup.....Dixie had several NIs around them.....

[wernerpruckner]

9/21/43

here is a picture of his NI missions in the next turn.

[wernerpruckner]

I had to stand down the NF force, now I will move some of them around and hopefully I can surprise Dixie in one of the next turns.

hehehe.......it seemed to me that Dixie uses some Mossie FBs for offensive patrols near my airfields.......I just had to react [:D]
