turn 25 - 9/10/43

I tried to intercept some of his daily tactical raids in Italy.........but my boys were most often too late.......we will try some other time again.
Because of these missions, I moved some of the used units to new airbases.

During the night BC and 205th Group were very active!
This time some of my nightfighters were able to kill some enemy A/C......most of them with Wilde Sau tactics.....several damaged bombers later crashed into the sea.

My own AA was very active but it did kill more of my own tahn enemy A/C ( 3 NF vs 2bombers were killed due to AA fire..... [:(] )

here an overview over Dixie´s missions.......

LOsses were not bad on both sites....we still wait for a big day with 100 and more losses/kills [:D]

9/11/43 - only minor tactical Allied stuff - Luftwaffe is resting and deploying some units

9/12/43

still mostly shortrange tactical stuff...but Dixie now starts to use more and more force for these raids.
30 vs 10 losses, and nothing imprtant hit [8D]

9/13/43

More tactical raids........this time the Allied fighters were able to kill 9 Bf109G-6 on the ground (additional 2 were damaged!)

Also the total kill loss ratio was not very good 16 Axis vs 17 Allied A/C [:(]

During the night several raids against French ports and UPENs.

Only nice thing today - my fist fighter ace!

9/14/43
 
Luftwaffe is more or less resting, although the Allied Forces still are quite active
 
135 vs 1578 sorties! BC was active.
 
Losses: 4 vs 12

9/15/43
weather over the UK and Central Europe
 
a few tactical raids in Italy....all very close to the frontlines........many enemy recce missions in Italy - two enemy planes were killed due to AA fire.
 
I use the resting time for refreshing and regrouping my units and strengthen the AA forces in Italy..... 

9/16/43

still quite quiet on the Western Front.....only few enemy close range missions during the day.
In the night lots of action with tons of RCM and NIs......I lost 8 nightfighters on two airfields.

9/17/43

a better day for the Luftwaffe - a bunch of enemy fighter were caught by interceptors and FlaK!
During the night the Luftwaffe was grounded!

The nightfighters in northern Germany are now only using well protected ( [8|] ) A/Fs.
I moved all railroad AA units for their protection.

9/18/43

only few coastal daylight raids.
during the night BC was very busy and my NFs once again did not score any kills....but several enemy NIs got lucky (6 more Bf110G-4 lost!)

Overall losses: 6 Allied vs 6 Axis

9/19/43
 
what a bad day! a Bf109 Gruppe got mauled (9 lost Bf109s in that Gruppe)  and also the other intercepts sucked!
 
15 Allied for 26 Axis A/C! Not a day to be proud of.......

9/20/43
 
small scale tactical raids during the daylight, a few BC raids and tens of NIs at the night
 
15vs 17 losses

ORIGINAL: swift

9/16/43

still quite quiet on the Western Front.....only few enemy close range missions during the day.
In the night lots of action with tons of RCM and NIs......I lost 8 nightfighters on two airfields.

How did you lose the 8 night-fighters on the two fields? Were they landing?

yup.....Dixie had several NIs around them.....

9/21/43

here is a picture of his NI missions in the next turn.

I had to stand down the NF force, now I will move some of them around and hopefully I can surprise Dixie in one of the next turns.

9/22/43

hehehe.......it seemed to me that Dixie uses some Mossie FBs for offensive patrols near my airfields.......I just had to react [:D]
