A lot to consider in the following, but I will do my best. quote:
ORIGINAL: Hermann Dinglr isn't a veteran player I most certainly agree with this one, and I never claimed otherwise. I simply have some opinions based on my experience with the game so far. quote:
ORIGINAL: Hermann Building air assets requires a long term outlay of command points. roughly 20% of available command points for 2 years to build up the airforce to the degree needed for it to really affect play. I assume the "command points" above refer to Admin points. If so, building the maximum of eight Air Groups for two years would give you a total of 832 new Air Groups, each containing 20 aircraft for a total of 16640 Aircraft. Add to this the aircraft of the Air Groups you have at game start, and you would be left with an Airforce some 25.000 strong (at least). It would also cost you a total of approximately 1000 Admin Points. Against Pelton I think I had about five or six airfields with 9 U-2VS Air Groups each. At that point, operational and flak losses began to match the production numbers, so I stopped building new Air Groups of U-2VS. In total, my expenditure on U-2VS was about 60 Admin Points over the fall and winter of 1941. From then on, and parallel to that, I invested mainly in fighter bomber Air Wings and IL-2's. I am pretty sure though, that I never intended to hit a total number of 25.000 active Aircraft. quote:
ORIGINAL: Hermann Investing in a large u2 force assumes youre going to play a defensive role with your ground forces. I guess you must judge for yourself, if you feel my play against Pelton was defensive, and if a more offensive stance on my part would have helped to Soviets. Suffice to say that I do not think that neither the Soviets nor the Germans can be offensive on all parts of the front for the first few years of the war. There will always be areas, where little happens and U-2VS bombings are viable. quote:
ORIGINAL: Hermann Im playing Dinglr myself at the moment. Kind of hope he tries the U2 trick on me. Do not worry my friend. I will certainly try quote:
ORIGINAL: Hermann its always funny to see a u2 flight run into 5 Jagdgeschwaders that pop up out of nowhere. I often found that the German fighters flying at night, especially in poor weather, tended to take quite a lot of operational losses. As the Soviet fighter production outpace the German one quite considerably, the Germans at least need to make sure that they can keep their total fleet of fighters at a decent amount. Losing fighters to U-2VS, even at a high exchange rate, might not be a good tactic for the Germans. Besides, who is to say that those five JagdGeschwaders might not be needed elsewhere? quote:
ORIGINAL: Hermann give me my sturmoviks though im not going to sit around. Personally, I prefer having both IL-2's and U-2VS over having only IL-2's. I do not accept that it is a matter of either/or. But as has been said before, and undoubtedly will be said again: "Dinglir is not a veteran player". I have no doubt that I will learn a lot as I dive deeper into this game.
