HellenicBlade -> Eagle Day LW observations (12/23/2020 11:48:09 PM)

Greetings all, I feels awesome playing these games I used to spend hours on when I was a child, gratitude to the team. I am currently playing a one-week 1940 campaign as the LW. I have the following observations/questions: 1) The Ju-87 units are a God-send, they are capable of putting a radar site out of action and can do similarly against a Primary Airfield. With a few PRI AFs near the shore, these are almost free points for my StGs. 2) The Erprobungsgruppe 210 units are worth their weight in gold, easily able to sneak at low altitude and put the hurt on a PRI AF, while the RAF is busy dealing with the bigger, badder raids higher up. Although not as killy as the Stukas, they can turn a PRI AF from green to orange very quickly and they do not necessarily need fighter coverage. 3) I am baffled by the 110. I've been going through several sources and the general consensus is that the 110s were not as bad as once thought, but were really wasted in close escort duties. Going by that, I usually place them on high escort duties, 3-4,000 feet above the bomber formation, in order to take advantage of their high speed and good armament. Although I do not get mauled, I do lose several destroyers, while only occasionally managing to nab a kill, even against outdated Gladiators. Am I doing something wrong? 4) My Night Intruders are quite inefficient, going around in circles and achieving nothing. What would be the best use for Night Intruder Units? Have them fly over the airfields that the RAF stages its Night Fighters? 5) With PRI AFs scoring so high, is there any reason not to commit to bombing them and them alone? Thank you for bringing this gem back to life and I wish everyone Merry Christmas!
