Luftwaffe wins on Turn 10
Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 11:00 am
My Luftwaffe have, to my great surprise, beaten the RAF on turn 10 in BOB full with the following strategy
1) overall aim was to destroy the RAF by engaging them in the air or on the ground as often as possible
2) extensive fighter sweeps were made daily, attacking his airfields, (6500 sorties incurring a 1.8% loss rate) often an hour after a couple of 'bait' raids with Stukas (425 sorties incurring a 13 % loss rate : nothing I did with escorts adequately protected the stukas !)
3) no attempt was made to destroy his radar : i wanted him coming up to meet me
4) most bombing activity was night area bombing of London (7000 sorties for a 0.4% loss rate)
5) small pinpoint raids with 10-20 Me110 fighter bombers were used to destroy his ballbearing industry
6) night intruders were sent over his airfields as often as available intruders would allow
