Rumanian front Air loses so far. Rumanian Tact bombers sux monkey ballz now ..... Was able to just barely squeeze out over 1k kills on this front It is what it is, darn Ghosts in the machine.

I was playing under 1.11.0 and was not very much impressed by this record.

Now that i updated to 1.11.1 beta, i realized what a huge mistake I had made. How on earth could you get above 1000 with those Rumanian light bombers nerfed so much? Their effectiveness was like less than one fourth compared to before. I tried numerous times and could barely get over 700... Not that this is decisive to the outcome of war in anyway, but I'm really really curious...

Cannot comment on your game but frequent mistakes are that people leave Rumanian tac bombers on turn 1 in army recon bases or far to the rear in central Rumania. At the very least do make sure you have air transferred all of them to air combat command airbases, and away from ones hundreds of miles away in Transylvania. And that is air transfer - not moving them overground inside airbases.

For what it is worth in the earlier versions of the game Rumanian tac bombers were practically useless. So they have been bumped in a major and ahistorical way. This only a slight return to what it should be.

Actually, after several tries I searched the forum and found your very helpful post on how Rumanian bombers should be handled.

And I believe I did not commit those mistakes. All bombers were transferred to airbases under Rm. Air command, before conducting any missions. And the airbases were placed right next to the border, just a few hexes away from Kishinev. After a series of 15 or so bomb runs, the flying miles are out, soviet planes(in that airfield alone) are not.

That's why I feel so curious. It confirms again that this is a game where one can always improve.

PS: I agree Rumanian airforce could not be that powerful. It's just like a high score one wants to beat, or at least get close to. Not that loss of several hundred planes makes any difference to the soviet, or even thousands for that matter[:D]

It does matter . Just might not seem so but it does. What matters most is how the Soviets use their airforce. That is the key imo.

I hope you understand the supply situation for the Germans going from 1.11.0 to 1.11.1 in 1941. You could be in for a very rude awakening if you don't during your new PVP game you just took on.

I won't worry too much. Never played a PvP game under the old patch anyway[:D]

PS: by the way I think i figured out the reason[:'(]
