Bound to be some "teething problems" in such a big mod. The gallery must be patient while these are solved. Easy for us - we do not have our pixeltruppen at risk!ORIGINAL: ny59giants
I think we feel asleep again. I sent back my first turn to Cribtop two days ago. Still haven't gotten it back yet. [X(] The forum knows what happened per John 3rd's and my phone call yesterday, but I don't. [:(] [&:]

Base damage is 26-32-30. Not too bad. I'm surprised that Oklahoma is still afloat with 6 TT hits.

In BTS, you can use PP to buy out the American fighters here. Allies start with 300 PP and get 60 per day.
The Es carry bombs the Bs don't. They all withdraw in summer, but they are still worth the cost to get the use of them for that short duration in a theater where no fighters exist....OZ.ORIGINAL: Lowpe

Do those squadrons get withdrawn in Spring-Summer 1942?
Some of those P40s have a bomb, I think one squadron if I recall. I have jumped it somewhere safe, trained for a week or so depending upon situation, and then used it in strafing naval attacks as a surprise!
