ORIGINAL: dtravel That's assuming that a unit actually can be hit. Personally I think night-bombing has been nerfed beyond even being in sight of reasonable. When a night-fighter squadron, which is supposed to specifically trained and equipped for night combat, can't score a single hit on an enemy airfield in three months of nearly nightly bombing attacks the system is *bleep*ed up. I disagree. My opponent is using a squadron of Blenheim If from Akyab and in a little more than one month, with raids by 7-10 AC roughly 2 night on 3, had managed to destroy 3 AC on the ground at Rangoon without loss. Not a game breaker and results seem OK to me. These are nuisance raids, no more and no less. The date is May-June 1942 and the experience of the Blenheim If unit (27 Sqn) probably is higher than at the start of the war, where I agree it is useless. But I won't describe 27 Sqn in 1941 as a trained night unit. None of the British air units in Malaya in 1942 had experienced crews.
