Besides, the stingy high command in LV doesn't give you the really good tank-busting Stukes (maybe they are being saved for late in the campaignk I don't know). You get the ones with the fragmentation bombs; these can do a lot of damage to troops and soft-skinned vehicls in the open, but aside from the occasional direct turret-top hit will not take out an AFV. Slow'em down, yes. Make the AFV crew wish there was a latrine handy, sure. So they help some, but I would just as soon have a dozen or more of those recon guys toting anti-tank mines. They are gloriously successful. Almost as good as the Soviet Superhuman Hell's Angel Motorcycle Corps. When CAS works the way intended in W@W it is a joy to watch - the rocket equipped Typhoons are my personal favorite. Otherwise, per Rommel, I wish they had given me another division. Bing

Well, I guess in the first scenario Roger was asking about, you don't really need tank-busting Stukas...

True. He will, however, if he continues with LV. He really will want them. I promise. What I'm really saying is that thus far in LV, now doing the 5th battle, the CAS has not been anything to write home to meine Mutter about. Bing

I will not hear anything bad said about the Luftwaffe after two BF-110s cooked two KV-1s on the road to Dubno
