Bullwinkle,
Knowing that you can blast an entire CV fleet regardless of CAP numbers by setting everything to 1000ft. Do you really care about extra OPS and Flak losses? Probably not... [:)]
As I said I havn´t tried this myself but Captain Cruft has the details somewhere in his AAR.
You aren't playing with the Babes alterations to flak. We are. USN DP guns are a serious threat, for one example.
Ah, I am in my other game. Havn´t really seen the effects yet though! [:)] That being said. Even losing a couple of hundred planes for the exchange of whatever is in the sights is probably something most would jump on. But perhaps the enhanced flak in the BETA throws the aim of enough so it becomes a moot point?
Sorry. Trying to type with a hand brace and I keep hitting random keys because my hand is too big.
What I said bwfore I erasd it is maybe you've been playing the late game so long you think losing a couple hundred planes is no big deal? [:)]
At 1000 feet against CVs you lose all DBs.
Flak does mess up aim, yes.
Going in at 1000 feet makes damage result in ops losses. Also runs up fatigue.
LAter on the Babes AA code will matter more as AA upgrades are done. So far I'm happy with what I'm seeing.
I guess I don't look for engine holes. I just do what I think ought to be done to get hits while not becoming too predictable. Fighters down low can work, but not every day. MAybe in 1945 when the AA castels are running around they don't either. But there's no magic altitude I've seen. Everything in the air game that looksa easy turns oout to have a cost somewhere.

Really looking forward to seeing the DBB changes in effect. Just hit 43 and we havn´t had any major combat yet. Very much doubt I will ever play a "vanilla" game again.
What have you done with your hand?

It seems that often people try to correct mistakes they make with a house rule. There is always a trade off between a tactic you choose and the results you get.
One should ask himself what the reason is why they find themselves in this situation .
In my opinion, to many games have to many rules.
