Knowing how important level 2+ railyards and ports are in this game, for that amount of damage, I'd be willing to loose a lot more bombers! The exchange is worth it many times IMO.

And the Soviets didn't need to use any of their precious fighters.

Not sure it would do much good, interception during the enemy air phase is quite low even during the day and supposed to be even lower at night.

As for balacing...Time will tell i guess if such attacks currently are TO powerfull and needs some additional tweaking.

Yup, used to do this in WITE1. Now people should realize why I took the 110's and sent them to re-train as fighters on the first turn earlier in the AAR. I will set it up the same way I did in WITE1.

It is reminiscent of WITE1 & I was able to handle night bombing just fine. I was mearly pointing out for new people to be aware of railyard bombing. I started turn one by sending my Bf-110's bomber to retrain(takes 8 turns to retrain to fighters) for night fighting. I also now have all my AA to put in to key railyard stations(I play with unlocked HQ's to have all my support in OKH turn 2). These two items did the trick in WITE1 & I just tested the same setup here in WITE2 in a practice game against myself. It works just like it did in WITE1 no problem. Now lets see how it plays out in a real game.

Ya, night interception is pretty low, like in the single digits for a full German squadron. That is why I use the small German 4 & 12 plane fighter groups to intercept just like I did in WITE1. I have it set up for turn 2 now. See what we get if anything if Bobo returns again. He did take a great many losses for sure but he can afford it for awhile but not forever. The question is will it be worth it? That is the question & time will tell.

Still working on turn 2 to send back but work has me busy the last two days. I should have the turn back to 821Bobo tomorrow at the latest.

I did find this Recon battle interesting since I didn't set a directive for that many planes. Seems to be the sum of the recon in the area for this fight. I guess I will look in the manual to try and find anything. Yes, I started reading the darn manual finally :(

Indeed, I hope he continues, I've been curious to see the mid-long term effects of sustained summer 41 Soviet railyard bombing in a HvsH game for a while! My theory is the Soviet player can sustain it long enough to be very annoying for the Axis, particularly in the south. We shall see.

Yup, this is what I thought per the rule from my observation. Nice to know now for sure;

19.3.4. Anti-Aircraft Fire and
Combat Reports
As aircraft fly along their path on a mission, the flak they
fly over accumulates until an air battle or a bombing/recon
occurs. At this point, all the flak they have flown over fires
at the aircraft before the air battle or bombing/recon takes
places (and all of the flak is listed as participating in this
battle). If no battle takes place on the way home, any flak
flown over and the losses caused by this prior to landing
are retroactively placed into the last battle site report that
had been created by the mission.

Im sure he will continue. Will have to see what the counter measures do in WITE2.

Status: offline 		I have to say I am "extremely" disappointed in the Night Air to Air against Soviet Bombers. Seems to be the same "exact" scenerio as in WITE1 runtime in the older WITE1 patches. Germans will intercept with normal squadrons at night and the Soviets maul the Germans. As if the Soviet bombers were the fighters and the German fighters were the bombers. There is literly "NO" reason to fly normal size German squadron at night in this patch to stop Soviet Night bombing! This is exactly the same in the old patch WITE1 before handed over to Morvael. So regular size German squadrons might as well be shooting themselves in the head when intercepting Soviet bombers at night. So in essence German regular size fighters are not a good counter-tactic in stopping Soviet Night Bombing WITE2.(same as in WITE1)

Lets take a look at a Soviet Bomber stream of 7 interceptions before hitting Kaunas & Kaunas itself. I won't include the flak combat in Kaunus at the moment and will save that for later. Here are the 7 combats pictured below.

7 German fighters for 4 bombers. I am sure we have night landings and darkness and all kind of other craziness too. But I digress for now.

Status: offline 		In conclusion;

Scratch off normal size German squadron flying Night intercept. It is TOTALLY WORTHLESS. I do hope the power to be looks into this at a minimum & let everyone know this is "working as intended". Is it?

With normal German Air Squadrons off the table to try and stop Soviet bombing I had much higher hopes of scoring AA hits. Unfortunately, this was a no go too :( I did just put the AA in the hex the turn of the bombing so may have had an impact. But for all practical purposes the "ONLY" delimiter to deter Soviet bombing is to just let them do it :(

I will try the German 4 plane and 12 plane squadrons next. But I don't have any hope left other than pray for small damage from Soviet bombers.

You will notice there is hardly any deviation from last turns AA totals with AA in Kaunas. Guess I should just put the AA back into my Units and Unit HQ's.
