You all will have to excuse me, but as it's my first time cracking 6k I felt I had to strut about a bit.

My maximum ever is about 5,500. Can you walk us through the steps to reach 6k?

Sure, but first let me say that much of it was gleaned from other posters here so I can't take too much credit.

First off if you want to kill something you have to know where it is. So I recon every AB I intend to hit starting from the furthest out and working my way in. I make sure every target base is at a 10 detection level.

Then I go to air doctrine and set my percent to fly at 10%. I intend to run my Luftwaffe ragged on the first turn as it's the only one where you can do serious damage to the Soviets so I don't want to waste the opportunity.

According to my rough calculations that I've got scrawled on my paper here, for target bases in range, there are in AGN's sector 8 bases with 1,388/1,655 (ready/total) AGC = 6 w/ 1,256/1,498, AGS = 13 w/ 1,960/2,238, and the Romanian 7 w/ 1,111/1,347 for 5,715/6,738 total. Again rough numbers and there are a few bases with only a couple planes or 0 that I don't count.

Then sector by sector, going the reverse order of my recon, closet first working out, starting with the big fighter bases close to the frontier, I start hitting them.

Multiple attacks until I run out of miles for my planes or run out of targets to hit.

Couple things I've learned. One I always have the manual selection on for the attack forces. And it's often a good idea, especially in the southern and romananian sectors to manually select the staging airbase as well.

For example with a AB like Kishinev or Stanislav in the south if you just click on it the forces they offer to attack might only be a handful of He 111's or so from the IV Flieger in Romania, whereas if you select a base in southern Poland you might have some guys with miles left to hit from there, or select from a Romanian base and use them instead.

Don't forget to use the Romanians. Western Crimea and the bases around Odessa and Kishinev all have a lot of targets to hit.

Again I run my guys ragged, I don't care, I want to do as much damage as I can. I don't worry about wasting ground support because on the first turn the Germans could be flying kites and still bust through the Soviet lines no problem.

I have the turn saved, I can send it to anyone who's interested, to F11 and see what went down.

I managed 5.9 k. In 1.04.14 you can no longer attack 3 Russian bases and this cuts down your number somewhat.

Sath :)

That's a very nice number. Better than what I get though I use your same methodology. I suspect I just get lazy picking my staging base.

Most of the time I'm right around 5k.

Thanks. I was the same way

I had to go about it methodically and with some planning to get it this high. Before I was just too lazy and saw it as a chore to get through before the fun part of blasting through and surrounding etc.
