joint AAR Nachtjagd 1 - VonShagmeister vs swift

[wernerpruckner]

The only claimed kills so far were made by Halifax crews [X(]

[wernerpruckner]

and here a overview of the Halifax II

[wernerpruckner]

and here part 2 of the Halifax data ( so you can see the electronics and ranges)

[DuckofTindalos]

The game misspells "incendiary" on that screen.

[wernerpruckner]

turn 7 will be a short turn, with only one bombing mission and few NI missions

[wernerpruckner]

only limited Axis response, and those were too late [:)]

turn 8 is a resting turn, weather and some other reasons

thanx,
hopefully HS will not use all his spellings [:'(][;)][8|]

[Hard Sarge]

Bite me buddy

you know that is part of the code, just like the other names you keep wanting Harley to change

nothing I can do with it, other then pass it on to Harley


for what it is worth, the 4 pound and 30 pound are correct, the 100 and 400 are called ICB's (for naming)

that is a old spelling error that is in the code (I never notice it) all I can do is pass it on to Harley (for weapon type)

[wernerpruckner]

because there were no missions, all units have more ready A/C

for the numbers of industrial damage and terror:
this is a small scenario, therefor there is no repair
all damage is cumulative

[wernerpruckner]

lets have a look into the Sterling I units:

[wernerpruckner]

and now to the A/C data.....the Sterling would have been a great A/C with bigger wings ( and therefor a much better altitude )

[wernerpruckner]

uups the data is from the Sterling III

part 2

[GShock]

I'll just never stop asking myself how they could bomb by night without aiming devices, instruments or...sight on target.
Boy this game amuses me and it appears it's also very complex!

Swift ,

How is recon handled in this game you are playing?

Is recon a feature of this scenario at all because if you are just playing BC at night how do you update info regarding damage done and info re possible targets?

This would normally be undertaken by recon units during the day turn.

30Aug43

Bomber Command is out in force again. XII.Fl.Kps. orders a maximum effort despite the thick cloud. It is hoped that results will be better than 27Aug43.

The night proves frustrating for the Luftwaffe. Although many fighters are in the air there are relatively few interceptions. FuG 212 gives 25 detections but because of the weather only three lead to interceptions. We have most success over Emden where there is less cloud and the searchlights are of more help in picking out bombers. In total only 35 enemy a/c are destroyed, 22 of them by fighters. To compound the failures of the night RAF Intruders have a number of successes against returning fighters attempting to land, including two of our pre production He 219s.

We must have new sensors that are immune to Window or all our cities will be reduced to rubble.

there is no recon in the 3 nightbombing campaigns.....
this makes them sometimes very hard for the Allied player, because I do not know ( others than by score ) how much I have damaged targets, or how well protected the enemy cities are.

I do not know if we will get some amount of recce in the final version for the 3 BC campaigns

[wernerpruckner]

for turn 9 I tried once again to hit one target hard - this time Brunswick.
Some smaller raids were made to other targets.

The Brunswick raid is composed of 2 Halifax streams, 3 Lancaster streams and a Mossiebomber pathfinder force.
Halifax will go a long way over the continent and attack from South.
Lancaster will go via the Northern sea and attack from North.
Mossies will fly along the coast ( with all Mossie RCMs) towards Hamburg and than break South to mark Brunswick
