In Robert Kershaw's book on Barbarossa he tells of many dawn bombing raids. Out of curiosity, I tried switching a few aircraft to night operations on a Turn 1 of the Campaign. I then tried a few airfield attacks. Absolutely useless. No damage to enemy aircraft. I then tried bombing ground units. Also no effect.

Is this because the crews aren't properly trained for night operations despite being switched to 'night'?

Is it because the aircraft aren't actually capable of night operations despite being eligible for night operations?

Is it because night bombing in 1941 was pretty much useless?

Or did I do something wrong?

Lastly, does anyone use night air operations? If so, when, for what, and why?

Cheers friends,

Tom
