I'm very late in 1944 in my slog against the Gorn I've tried many explorations of various historical and unhistorical tactics. I've also been using them in some pretty unorthodox roles. But I'd be very appreciative of any suggestions to get the most efficient use of them. They do spend an inordinate amount of time in the "body and fender shop". [:D] Thanks in advance for any suggestions or comments.[&o]

Park them in Great Falls. They are too precious to lose.

Or melt them down, and make something really useful, like toasters with them.

1. Switch them all to night ops.

2. As Alfred says, restrict them to normal range.

3. Put them on 50% rest. Maybe 10% training, 40% rest.*

4. Send them in at 5000-7000 feet and bomb manpower to start fires.

5. As PP allow, give them inspiring non flying COs with decent skill ratings.

[* or rotate groups.)

#3 is a mistake. They should all fly, just leave sufficient rest periods of at least 5-7 days between missions.

Ideal altitude is 9k, this avoids balloons and the majority of IJ flak (which are 20-40mm guns). You can drop to 8k, but any lower lets the common 25mm guns start to fire.
