During the rest of the day the Germans flew several more low level raids - of which only one was intercepted in Scottland. In the night German night bombers attacked two OILS east of London - the bombers were detected only when the bombs begun to fall [:(] [image]local://upfiles/16527/74C3430F4F694F6E9BF67076D5A00F7C.jpg[/image]

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (1/2/2010 12:22:32 PM)
Overall it was a good day for Fighter Command - only 1 A/C and pilot lost! [image]local://upfiles/16527/C9BDFDDAD4C84461BC874C466C811A34.jpg[/image]

and here another picture of my reserve pool: [image]local://upfiles/16527/C85A8291509342FD924B4A807A666B92.jpg[/image]

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (1/2/2010 12:26:27 PM)
And here the situation of my damaged airfields. Anything damaged beyond 50 is virtually useless for any defence works - because there are no repairs on damaged A/C and the morale goes down fast! [image]local://upfiles/16527/7EB03660D61C4DE08C9DBAB5AB2928E7.jpg[/image]

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (1/2/2010 12:29:45 PM)
Most of the interception work is done by my Hurricane Squadrons. Here is a picture after I moved some 90+ morale units to the South and some below 60 units back to the North ( 2 Spitfire units). You can see that some units still have not seen any battle - but I will only use them if they have a high morale or if some raids stray close enough to those airbases.

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (1/2/2010 12:31:29 PM)
And finally the campaign information screen........Kevin will have to pull some new tricks or he will not have any chances anymore! [image]local://upfiles/16527/CA4E2A13AF2D4696A49D399C612CDBC2.jpg[/image]

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (1/14/2010 6:49:08 PM)
8/26/40 Once again a very busy day for the FC.....Kevin changes once again his tactics and flew scores of small night bombing raids and a few bigger daylight raids. Losses for the Germans were bad.....and FC still grows stronger! [image]local://upfiles/16527/B7E2F389EC234589A9524377CF84FBC8.jpg[/image]

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (1/14/2010 6:51:35 PM)
here some of his raids - tactical raids were mostly day light and all the industrial stuff (ARM, CFAC, AFAC and RUBBER) were bombed during the night! Some of my industries are going close to the critical limit! [image]local://upfiles/16527/D08CA3265CE24DDCB09E0E17B6433DB6.jpg[/image]

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (1/14/2010 6:53:39 PM)
here a picture of my air units of the Groups in Southern England - because of the often damaged A/Fs the ready numbers are not really good [X(] [image]local://upfiles/16527/CB071B46CB0D41E38C84E926A1A570D5.jpg[/image]

and here the picture of the information screen...... [image]local://upfiles/16527/750255B536964AD180BEB08A815E8DCA.jpg[/image]

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (1/23/2010 6:19:38 PM)
8/27/40 very busy turn for the Luftwaffe and Fighter Command. a few highlights: - Kevin is able to damage and kill a few A/C on the ground - LW was not able to keep the radar down [:'(] - LW was able to hit important A/Fs [:(] and to lower my ready A/C counter - LW pinpoint raids seem to produce either nothing or a destroyed target [:(] here a picture of the radar map in the morning [image]local://upfiles/16527/2CF3D764F46248338CEFB2BA404A307C.jpg[/image]

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (1/23/2010 6:20:50 PM)
and now the radar situation at the end of the turn........some imprtant radars are still online [8D] [image]local://upfiles/16527/5C2F64B2E3BF4F51B0ABAC55544BDBC1.jpg[/image]

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (1/23/2010 6:23:54 PM)
here are the daily losses........if Kevin did not fly twice or more often with his bombers per day his losses would be much lower! He seems not always protect his bombers with multiple layers of escorts....and that is good for the British units......one or two squadrons distract the fighters and the rest goes after the bombers [:D] [image]local://upfiles/16527/A39CE96C46E540CE9371AF7F35780106.jpg[/image]

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (1/23/2010 6:25:48 PM)
but on the other hand he does a great job damaging and keeping my A/Fs out of order... Here the situation of my primary A/Fs - not a nice sight! [X(] [image]local://upfiles/16527/CBF95637A7824010BD6FFFED1048014B.jpg[/image]

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (1/23/2010 6:29:07 PM)
I do have many more secondary A/Fs, but they depend on the primary A/Fs => if the primary A/F is damaged the secondary A/Fs suffer awith a higher delay time (communication) and some other factors..... [image]local://upfiles/16527/6382CDE9386041BCA5F7AC9C2AB6E1E8.jpg[/image]

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (1/23/2010 6:30:36 PM)
I am not happy with the amount of my ready A/Cs...... [image]local://upfiles/16527/AEE78D10BDD14BBEA15D63C828A3B504.jpg[/image]

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (2/4/2010 7:19:02 PM)
8/28/40 several enemy anti Radar strikes in the morning....two of them run into my patrols and get whacked [:D] But Kevins strikes complete their missions....and once again Southeast England is without radar cover [:(] In the afternoon several large raids against targets north and northeast of London.... [image]local://upfiles/16527/3237E0B95B81409484405DDACA545D91.jpg[/image]

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (2/4/2010 7:22:40 PM)
After these raids went back over the coast and my units flew back to their patrol area and were able to find a few unescorted bombers from Luftflotte 5! [image]local://upfiles/16527/7DCA275D1B31466EBEB97EABE0E17E3B.jpg[/image]

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (2/4/2010 7:25:56 PM)
here are all of the enemy bomber missions........just look at the damage some of them had done..... [:(] Kevin flew several night raids......I did not detect them before they dropped their bombs....but I got several bomber crashing reports (15+) - it seems that he flew all those night missions below 500ft with probably tired and exhausted crews! [image]local://upfiles/16527/A74F8F3DEA534932A700684C23A625B3.jpg[/image]

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (2/4/2010 7:27:44 PM)
and now the overview - you can see that the turn did hurt me......AS is up to 7!! I do not like this and I have not many undamaged or even useable sector airfields left [X(] [image]local://upfiles/16527/EFDB7E7F526D4F3E91655582D371B961.jpg[/image]

davidjruss -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (2/5/2010 5:47:13 PM)
Swift, I presume this is FOW and inflated RAf claimed kills - post 110- shows you claiming 200 German bombers and 16 fighters destroyed whilst the campaign summary in post 111 shows a total of 72 aircraft as Luftwaffe losses. Can we assume that the attrition summary and subsequent list of types of aircraft destroyed are accurate figures and are not subject to distortion of the truth? DavidR

Hard Sarge -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (2/5/2010 5:56:22 PM)
Yes, in the raid screen shot, FOW is showing, only your own losses are correct (on the other side, if Kev were to look, his losses would be correct, while the enemy losses would be FOW) the summery page and losses page, show the correct numbers (some people don't like it, but since scoring is based on the losses, it needs to be shown that way)

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (2/5/2010 6:01:53 PM)
I always think of the numbers in the after action report as pilots claiming to have attacked an enemy A/C.

Hard Sarge -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (2/5/2010 7:10:59 PM)
it could be part of that also (odd to get those 233 losses when there are only 40 bombers, but it could be the number of attacks made)

Nicholas Bell -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (2/5/2010 7:53:14 PM)
I'd like to know how he knocked out all those radar site with so few bombers flying through light AAA and balloon cables.

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (2/5/2010 10:23:25 PM)
Kevin knows what he is doing (most the time ;) ) He has found many flaws in BoB during the beta tests and because of him there are no more shortcuts to victory in BoB40 anymore [8D] He has made extensive excel sheets with A/C / range / altitude / bombload / daytime / and whatever. But now he also sees that gaming versus a human is different to single player vs AI [:D] (he is a formidable Luftwaffe player!!!) He often copies real world Luftwaffe tactics - the LW did their kind of precision bombing with small units and often with single A/C. HIs Stab units seem to be used for such precision strikes.......for me it seems to be a 20+% chance to put a target out of order.

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (2/27/2010 8:00:56 PM)
turn 18 8/29/40 once again a busy day with mainly daylight anti radar and airfield raids. During the night Kevin tried to nail a few industrial targets. here the raid list: [image]local://upfiles/16527/5D2B5F7969A84444A24287AA0047A5EA.jpg[/image]

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (2/27/2010 8:02:22 PM)
still no double ace....but soon there will be some [8D] [image]local://upfiles/16527/F618C7B63AF94BAD89B28816019D4C88.jpg[/image]

wernerpruckner -> RE: BoB - Swift vs Kevin (2/27/2010 8:03:46 PM)
here is my reserve stock - Kevin will need to make a huge impact before I am out of aircraft. [image]local://upfiles/16527/29BC67123A5845599CFB6253FBB52CFB.jpg[/image]
