quote:


Always check the n. of divisions against the number of Corps HQs: adding a division to reach a
total that can be exactly divided by 4 will give you a CV penalty; on the contrary sending West or
disbanding a division to go below an exact multiple of 4 will increase your CV.

That's a threshold problem from the game, ideally it should be something more progressive.

Status: offline 		Great work Bamilus - thx a lot!

My wishlist for upcoming updates:

+ clearer structure (for example Axis: Land/Air/Supply/Production etc) and a table of content at the beginning - that will make it easier to find the search information, if you need just a specific info
+ loadout overview (for example - when better using WerferGr.21 or 2X20mm Pods for the Bf109)
+ lessons learned sections at the end of each chapter for example FlaK chessboard over Belgium/Netherlands vs FlaK cluster Ruhrgebiet/Hamburg
+ do and dont section for allies/axis
+ invasion prep list

...some ideas, coming into my mind when using the guide.

Status: offline 		Your comment about manually swapping out P47s for P38s and P51s caught my eye. I recently red a book called "The Men Who the Luftwaffe". In it the author comments that mid-late '44 by providing bigger drop tanks, making design changes, and modifying tactics and procedures the P47 had almost the same escort range and 38s and 51s. Is this gradual range upgrade reflected in WiTW for P47s?

AFAIR they were never able to achieve the ranges of P-38/-51

Status: offline 		Ok I have to agree. That said, here are several quotes from "The Men Who Killed The Luftwaffe": "Variants of the P-47 were introduced during the spring of 1944, which along with many other features, included nearly 20 percent more fuel. So with more internal fuel and two 108-gallon drop tanks - one under each wing - the P47 was finally able to range over a great part of Germany. The availability of the 150-gallon steel drop tanks by mid-1944 made it that much better. The P47 ...finally had the range to escort the bombers deep into Germany". I see from the 1944 D-Day start that two 108-gallon drop tanks give the P47 in the game a range of 43 miles, while the 150-gallon drop tank only gives it a range of 38 miles. Those ranges do not seem to reflect 'deep' into Germany. Am I missing something here/
