Is production controllable or fixed (but bombable)?



Contrallable in BTR.

Less. It's huge, but the number of things you need to control is significantly smaller than AE.

There's less to deal with, but the things you do deal with are more in depth. If you send your B-17s to the Ruhr and just tell the Thunderbolts to escort them, then there will be no escort on the way home. Escort missions need to be timed properly to work well.

Exactly. The operative phrase here being "few bombs", i.e. not enough to drastically influence production. This just further emphasizes the fact that the Luftwaffe was designed to support the German army, and not to operate by itself.

KGr 100 did operate later as pathfinders, for instance in the attack on Coventry in November of 1940. BTW, if you haven't already, look up "The Battle of the Beams"; very interesting little side story about early electronic warfare.

But, to answer your question, the German player can not accurately bomb a pinpoint target like a factory at night.


Thanks for info Kristian!


BTW, I have the "Battle of the Beams"...

You disagree that it was a tactical air force not a strategic one?
