Most likely related to the changes in the db slots that were made with Possum and other mod's.  A lot of them are documented, but you can guess that there are still a fair number of undocumented ones.  And it is pretty rare to take the '41 scenario to '44 as Tiger and Tom are doing here...

Our new Kingtigers have been used in battle for the 1st time in large numbers. The attack was launched in the north against advancing Soviet formations. 3 Soviet corps were destroyed with 1 corps surrendering. We have detected many Soviet tank corps in this area but they are in the rear.

Wow!  Astounding that the GER is still able to put up such a fight with everything against her.

Germany has the air now, and launches punishing counters If a counter fail the panzers suffer bad. If VVS can make a draw on his return, the germans on the ground will die.

Germany had the option to continue her attack in the north but decided to retreat and place her troops in ambush positions waiting for the bear to poke its head out again. The Luftwaffle is now fully comitted her airwings to the front expecting the VVS to compete for the skies.

Wow! Astounding that the GER is still able to put up such a fight with everything against her.

Germany might have both of her legs and right hand tied up but its her left hook that has to be watched as it can cause a nasty sting.

That left hook is real heavy. It carries about 7000 fw's followed by a lot of bombers. The 1500 king tigers following only escort the dazed right army soilders in prisoner camps...

VVS has returned in the south as german troop and air movement indicates a big trap for our troops between Belgrade and Budapest. Hope our la7 do better against the fw190d's this time around.

The Luftwaffe saw a fair fight and deceided to flee. We took Belgrad.

The USAAF raids have to be punishing now.  To get all of those 190D's to the east front, the west front must have been stripped....

We have 10.000 fighters now, we have plenty for both fronts.

Wow! What's the largest a fighter group can get to be? (replacement = 100%) 225 planes?

I can have 55 fighter wings x 229 = 12595 fighters.

Then the VVS decides to fly it will be 1 bloody battle

We dont have numbers like that yet. We only have 8000 la7 in air wings, and 3000 in pool. We have 1500 la5fn in airwings, they do the dying on the front now.

German has displayed to much caution this summer. I thought her fighter strength would be much much stronger

Our planned attack against Belgrade had to be canceled due to Luftwaffle bomber airwings not showing up to battle with high numbers. We have lost a important clear turn.

Ouch, missing a counter-attack opportunity hurts ...
