ORIGINAL: JocMeister ... Donīt think its the Typhoons per see that are great for knocking out tanks but rather anything that can carry rockets. No sure about the historical accuracy about that... certainly this is how the WiTE/WiTW game engine works, the 1943 version of the Sturmovik (with the more effective AT rockets) is a real tank killer compared to anything else. In WiTW, I now tailor my conversions from FB-F to FB essentially on whether or not the plane uses rockets rather than bombs quote:
ORIGINAL: JocMeister ... All Typhoons and bomber trained FBs sent here. About 10-15 additional Fighter squadrons are sent here to retrain as bombers. I tried picking nationalities with low pools. Aus/Can/Nor. These wonīt see any action until summer of 44. I'm not sure about putting low manpower pools into planes that will take heavy losses. Realise you want to rest them till 1944 but I've been making sure that FBs are mostly flown by nationalities with robust manpower pools and leaving those where manpower is a constraint in fighters (which are also easier to stand down if you need to later on)? I fly unescorted in order to hit danzig or berlin, or if I just feel like it. Your bombers will replenish, and the VPs are worth it. Also, don't forget to use Strategic AF to bomb cities from the south, most of the time they need something to do too. Nighttime attacks are a waste of time -- until -- you get a mass of 600 + bombers and a huge 9 hex target area such as the Ruhr. In fact I around turn 10 or afterwards I'd encourage night bombing with RAF this way with one HUGE AD, and they will hit something. Escored by all your NFs. The germans also suck at hitting you at night. Day light bombing on RAF I fly around 19k feet, and for night time I go lower. The American planes can fly higher, so I usually have them go around 23k during the day.
