RGM Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 I have noticed that when facing off against the Royal Air Force after the fall of France, the Brits tend to kick my Luftwaffe around. Even with level 3 anti-aircraft radar and level 1 jets vs their level 1 radar and standard planes (and we both have a headquarters in the area), the British tend to inflict heavier losses whether attacking or defending. Das ist nicht sehr gut! Are they automatically more effective operating out of Britain than I am from France or something? Thanks. RGM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Dave Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 Now that I have played for awhile, it does seem as though the intercepting force suffers a disadvantage, no matter when, or which side is attacking. :eek: This seems counter-intuitive, since the attacking force, whether Strat Bombers or regular Air Fleet (which includes some fighter-bombers) should be MORE prone to taking losses. After all, they are focused on hitting the target, and not on defense or CAP. The interceptors are concentrating on taking out as many enemy bombers as possible, yes? Sure, there are escorts, and inherent air defense of a certain class of bombers (or FBs jettisoning their load) but my sense (and I may be inaccurate on this... Hubert?) is that the defender is penalized to a greater degree than what should be expected in a "normal" bombing raid? If so, then if this was tweaked, then the problem (pretty well documented so far, I have noticed) of inexperienced units taking too much damage could be solved?
