Here is what Traemyn found . Here is the link http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=117575&p=1033888&hilit=+luftwaffe
The distribution of the Luftwaffe shows an even more striking shift from East to West from 1942 to 1944. This may be partly illustrated by the loss patterns. In general, they were as follows
Luftwaffe Losses (WF/EF):
1942
1-engine fighter 536/707
2-engine fighter 61/178
nightfighter 83/0
ground attack 169/457
bombers 690/957
total 1,539/2,299
1943
1-engine fighter 2,359/1,135
2-engine fighter 182/132
nightfighter 274/23
ground attack 518/905
bombers 1,164/3,128
total 4,497/3,128
1944
1-engine fighter 6,818/972
2-engine fighter 275/185
nightfighter 1,063/94
ground attack 345/1,237
bombers 1,217/425
total 9,718/2,913
An even more intriguing change may be seen if we look at just the three months May-July 1943 and witness the changes that occurred then. Looking at just single-engine fighters we find that the distribution of strength (as of the first of the month)/losses (during the month) were:
Luftwaffe Strengths (WF/EF)
May 1943
West 1,113/159
East 623/112
June 1943
West 1,361/173
East 533/58
July 1943
West 1,399/487
East 494/183
So over just a three-month period the fighter strength in the West increased by 20.4 percent, while that in the East decreased by 20.7 percent. At the same time losses in the West went from 14.29 percent of strength, to 12.71 percent, to 34.81 percent, while losses in the East went from 17.98 percent, to 10.88 percent, to 37.04 percent.
As of 1 June 1944 a rough breakdown of strength by type is (West/East):
1-engine fighter 1,400/560
2-engine fighter 220/137
nightfighter 834/101
ground attack 265/816
bombers 917/781
total 3,636/2,395
So we both agree that something is broken in the game here and that he won't do anymore airfield strikes. I will put some more fighters up north to be more "historical"
