Help Playing 1941 BoB Campaign

Post by bdiamond »

Folks,

Playing the Luftwaffe in the 1941 BoB long campaign. I keep getting my butt kicked by Fighter Command. Has anyone played this campaign? I'd sure love some advice and strategy to win. I can't seem to make it past day 30...

Thanks!

well, it helps if you shoot down the RAF

helps even more if you shoot them down, before they shoot you down

where are you having trouble ?

other then the butt kicking ?

LOL, I can't seem to get my AS score over 4, and thats with taking all the radar out, and bombing a number of the PRI airfields... My losses tend to be only slightly higher than the RAF. Certainly less that 2:1. Any ideas on forming an overall strategy? Should I focus more on airfield bombing than radar. Should I think about trying to take out some industry?

the 41 long, you are going to have to do some of all of it

Radar is a back and forther, it scores you no points, and it repairs fast

but you do a good job at it, and it keeps the RAF from hitting you too HARD, but also keeps you away from the RAF, so a twoedged sword type deal, you have to have the RAF up, so you can knock it down, but if it gets up, it may knock you down

41, you want to try and hurt the RAF and take out Industry, just hitting Airfields is not going to help (that is 40, and only the early part)

soooo, you need to work on all parts, Terror takes a lot of time, but if you do get a point or two there, it can help, but don't expect to get all of your points from Terror
