Me 163B: wrong flight radius

Post by K62_ »

The game has the Me 163B radius as 19 miles which restricts it to one hex.

According to Wikipedia its flight radius was 25 miles.

This contemporary Luftwaffe training video (marked secret for internal use; not propaganda) claims it could intercept bombers at 50km (31 miles) and that it was capable of a trip between Leipzig and Berlin, which is 8 hexes in game.

It seems plausible that the in-game radius of 19 miles is a result of misreading a radius of 31 miles as kilometers and converting it a second time (31 km is 19 miles).
