Using the metrics screen

Post by SaintEx »

Hi all. I'm on my third run-through for the campaign as the allies, and I'm still having trouble interpreting the metrics screen. I've bombed the bejeezus out of the Reich, focusing, for example, on fuel and oil. The LW is flying far fewer sorties (mid-44) but I don't see a dent in "fuel stores and pool". "Oil stores + pool" jitters around like it's a graph of the Dow Jones. Also, while oil stores + pool seems to be somewhat below oil required, fuel stores + pool are way, way higher than fuel required, leading me to think that the Reich will always have enough no matter what I do, i.e. 3M fuel stores and pool compared to 14.500 required. Any insights?
