Alpha77 -> RE: AA Effectiveness: in-game vs. historical (6/28/2019 11:27:21 PM)

I think the AA with the latest patch/beta got better. Or the DBB mod. Here sorted for flak losses. This is a game vs. AI as you can easily see by the huge IJ losses and miniscule Allied losses (DBB, hard). Also of note many recons lost to AA seems the AI uses too low alt...I may post the screen from the PBM I play too later (Stock scen2)

For any comparison between game results (Flak losses) and real WW2 results (Flak losses) it would seem Mods played on Hard or Very Hard (or whatever but not historical) or played past the time of Japan's actual surrender are irrelevant (I recognize that the AI is dumb and offers little competition once one has gotten used to it but only PBEMs and AI games played against a "historical AI" are going to be useful for comparing against the IMBIBLIO claim.

You need to play the game to completion to see that in-game losses not only rival, but exceed the historical:



I have played the game to completion, but I'm not sure what point you're trying to make with your screen shot.

As of Dec 9th 1945 (over three months after the historical end of the war) you're showing 101,999 Japanese aircraft losses, including 3,458 to flak. The first number exceeds historical Japanese production, so the loss numbers must be inflated as well (which three more months of warfare would also imply). If we take 2,000 losses to USN flak as the actual figure, then that leaves well under 1,500 losses to every other source of flak - ALL land-based, RN, RAN, etc. That seems... unlikely.

Thanks to those who posted data - I'm seeing Japanese losses due to flak as no higher than 1/3 the losses in air-to-air (and sometimes well under a tenth), and the Allied loss ratio running from 1:4 down to negligible. That's matching my experience with the game.

Whereas the AAF data has their losses to flak as 2/3 of those to hostile aircraft.

Still looking for more historical data if anyone has any to share!
