The 200th around 10 guys, and according to history we should go up in a 4:1 or more against them. We should be able to assable enough pilots for it.
Due to the summerholliday 331 is down to about 4 in strenght. 602 where on 3 tonight. I donāt know about 311, 310 or Storno. Our Italien friends do have a lot of pilots but it is the holliday season
Anybody know about the 92nd?
If we set a date I can inform the 200th Sentai.
The trick is to play it right. All planes go high. 10,000ft +. The higher the better for the P51 and the P47. B25 can bomb from 15,000. From experiance I know that a close boxed formation of bombers have can be a real pain.
Not long ago we flew 6xJu88 onlin and it was really funny to se the Spits flying around us. Like a cat around hot milk :rolleyes:
Donāt be sorry. I feel the same way about the Russians
The US planes where generally inferior to the Japanese when it came to maneuvering. The US won becourse they where able to put more planes in the Air. With a 2:1 and later 4:1 advantage there where no way the japanese could win. They did not have industrian capacity, the oil resources nor the pilots. But these odd can heartly be modelled in the game.
There is also grave error in the modelling of some of the planes. Due to lack of strategic materials like crome and the pressure due to their losses, quality control and maintenance where poor.
To quote the book āBrute Forceā p492:
āAnd outstanding case offaulty material and maintenance was shown i a japanese diary covering the delivery of 80 Ki-84 (Franks) from Japan to Lingayen Bay, 4th november 1944., where only 14 planes reached their destination. Trouble with engines, fuel system, hydralics, and failure of landing gears where the principal couse of troubleā
That is an attritionrate of 82,5% due to non-combat couses
If this had been modelled I donāt think the Ki84ās would be so popular :rolleyes:
The book also states that the Allies where able to keep 70-80% of their planes available due to better quality and maintenance.
