Hello folks,

I’m only getting time to play the game in short bursts, so forgive me if I ask some questions with obvious answers:

1. Historically Oboe had a range, being limited to the Ruhr until ground stations came ashore after Overlord, but I can’t find anything in the game which tells me if a target is within oboe range or not. Is there anything?

2. How do I use pathfinders? Do I simply include some 8 Group aircraft in with a raid, or should I plot a separate raid with then to hit the target at the same time as the main force? I’m thinking especially of the Mosquito units which race ahead of the heavies if included in a raid with them.

Greatly enjoying the game

Oboe: the historical limits of it are in the game......look at the range to the nearest Allied airbase

Pathfinders:
use them as lead squadron in your raids, or attack some high value targets at low alt alone with them

I found this very helpful, even though my Bomber Command mission plots now take about 4 times as long
