2nd major air battle took place with victory once again.....

Not much of a victory he had half the planes and only lost a little more then you did.

i would say it is a major victory as that is all the British planes that were near me and i could find. I would say if he had more than that, they should have been brought up and contested my air superiority, cause as it stands now I control the air not only in Europe, but Asia as well.

this tells me that he is running out of aircraft in Asia to fight with and that is a good thing for me. In Europe, he has a large Air fleet in England, but has not committed them. that tells me my large amount of AA batteries are keeping him at bay. My air strength in the west is being brought up to strength now that for the time being at least, I have won the air war in the east.

A German battle fleet has made an appearance off the coast of London in the English channel, in a two phase battle, it was sent to the bottom. Here's a screenshot of the first phase:

Then the naval engagement:

it doesn't appear the screenshot took. has happened too me before, so try again please. I'm looking forward to seeing how this happened. i actually knew this would be a risk to do, but you know if one does not take risks, then victory doesn't happen.

oops, never mind. my connection at work is having issues and so now I see it.

looks like my F-109F took a beating, but that is fine. I now have F-109G and they should be more than a match for what the British can throw at me. Ouch..... I lost around 30+ fighters that go around.

looks like my F-109G's will be moving west ASAP. already had 2 fighter groups of the new fighters there, looks like 2 more will be needed.

The seas around England are again clear, with the exception of the occasional Uboat group that will be hunted down.

A bit premature on that call old chap.

...In Europe, he has a large Air fleet in England, but has not committed them. that tells me my large amount of AA batteries are keeping him at bay. My air strength in the west is being brought up to strength now that for the time being at least...

I hope you have a 'plan B'.

USA turn

-American land based bombers start to pound the Japanese forces in the Marianas Islands
-Lend Lease across the Atlantic is going well, without any losses
-Four German submarines became artificial refs
-The Soviets are complaining about the last Naval fighters we sent them, they were surplus units, so we tought they would be useful in the East Front. It´s possible their situation isn´t so desperate, in the end...otherwise they would be launching everything they had against the Germans, anyway, we are anxious to see how the Wildcat will perform against the Fw-190A

Yes, I suspect you'll have your revenge soon enough.

We thought that naval fighters can be used only with the carriers but it seems that we were wrong. Keep sending them, thanks.

The English could desparately use advanced carrier figthers.

You don't like your biplanes? )

before I came into work tonight, began looking over the turn for Germany and went.....gulp.....i need more planes ASAP. the western front is looking rather thin of fighter cover. when i get home tonight, will begin pondering my next moves. as I could very well lose the air war in the west. I have a good AA defense, but that is only so good to a point. I need more fighters and so it appears a new fighter factory will have too be built and the AA to go along with it. Will have the new turn out tomorrow either before work or after i get home.

.....MAJOR NEWS UPDATE......

large naval battle occurred off the coast of Indochina. The British naval forces have been crippled beyond repair in the Asia theater. Screenshot shows the losses so far this turn. Revenge has now been dealt in support of our German allies.
