Understanding the reports

[Hard Sarge]

is there other reports, so we can see what happened during the day ?

July 20th, based on combat, the end of day report makes no sense

from what I can tell from the pilot reports

152 and 43 Squadrons claimed 14 Ju 88s (I claim 2 and 3 in those two battles) we lose 3 Canes and 3 pilots (wounded/Killed ?)

19 and 303 Squadrons claimed 20 Ju 88s, (I claim 1 and 5) we lose 1 Cane, no pilots

152 Squadron claimed 19 He 111s, (I claim 4 of them)no losses

302, 501 and 54 claimed 28 Bf 110s and 5 Do 17s,(I claim 5 0 2 on the 110s) we lose 1 Cane and 1 pilot

85 Squadron claimed 22 Bf 110s (I claim 1) no losses

266 Squadron claimed 3 Bf 109s and 7 He 111s (I claim 1 109) we lose 1 Spit and 1 pilot (me, fatal crash, says I was flying too fast, I was in a climb, broke my flaps and my landing gear, and went out of control, died when I bailed out)

85 Squadron claimed 15 Bf 109s (I claim 2) we lose 1 Cane and 1 pilot

okay, so we claimed some 34 88s, 26 111s, 7 17s, with 18 109s and 50 110s and we lost 7 planes and 6 pilots

end of day

the LW lost 20 109s, 0 17s, 26 88s, 25 111s AND 10 110s (now I got 8 of them myself, all sure kills, I seen massive numbers of my AI brothers taking out others but over all not too bad for claim and kills (hmmm 7 17s and no lost ? I never seen any 17s to be honest) 50 110s vs 10 is a odd one)

but now, I lost 66 planes, 15 Spits and 51 Canes

how where why ?

the 3 AFs on the coast, were bombed, and took light damage (but even then, my guys were in the air ??, so those shouldn't be ground losses (or at least that many, if they are my extra planes ?)

But I got a lot of happy pilots

and I guess the Kanalbattle is over and Altertag has begun

[Hard Sarge]

just in case, here is my last mission I flew today (bedtime calling)

I did see the 17s this time, but never got close to them

[Hard Sarge]

just in case, what may be screwing up my reports, there were at least two Squadrons fighting the 110s, and there were two squadrons closing in, so at least 4 squadrons were in that battle, but the report only shows what happened to the squadron I was flying for


also, when I left that battle, the two LW Icons were no longer on the map, so...

we may of done that much damage

[Hard Sarge]

wooo, that new patch (newer patch ?) is nasty

so far in action, looks like a Staffel is assigned to just hunt me, forget about anything else, been doing a lot of bailing this time around


but, as I was saying about the reports

how is this

[Hard Sarge]

which they joined battle with 19 squadron, so they should be shown also

[Hard Sarge]

hopefully, some one can step in and help explain what the reports can be saying, when it don't match what is going on

I just got one, that "I" shot down 19 Stukas (combined missions) and the total losses were 15, so 19/15 (which after battle is only showing 6 Stukas lost, but I know I got mine, not sure what my AI wingmates really got)

[Hard Sarge]

for my complaints about the reports, I think it is the 110s that are not showing up

two days now, I am still showing the same number of losses for the 110 (they do show up, but not all the time)
