Aircraft Initiative

Fans of the old Panzer General series rejoice for the release of Panzer Corps. Following in the footsteps of the popular SSI masterpiece and sharing with the General series the same level of engagement and strategic depth, Panzer Corps will keep an unmistakable "PG feeling" whilst improving and refining the gameplay and balance. Panzer Corps will feature 26 scenarios on 21 unique maps, covering most major battles of the European Theatre of World War II and including a few hypothetical 'what if' scenarios based on your actions. Now expanded with a full-war mega-campaign and the Afrika Corps and Allied Corps releases!

Aircraft Initiative

What is the basis for computing it in tactical Bombers?

The Wellington, which was used as a strategic bomber, rates as a tactical AC. By strategic, the Wellington was 2/3 of Bomber Harris's first 1,000 plane raid on Berlin. Not exactly a Tac Bomber. Anyway, the Wellington rates 8 for initiative, while the US B26 Marauder rates a 3. The A-26 Invader has twice the horsepower, twice the speed, a HP to weight ratio, in a plane that was IMHO a clearly superior Tac bomber get a 7.

It's a very good question and I'd suggest you post it at the Slitherine forum, which is far more active. I'm interested to see the response.

Best,
