Status: offline 		Well been working on the GE pilots and leaders for about the last 6 hours, so it is time to play a bit

okay here are my raids for the first day of the long Campaign

nothing fancy or tricky, just plot right into there face

got 3 raids headed to Biggen, which one breaks off and goes to Hendly, while the other is a gamble and breaks for Tangmare

got a Heavy defended raid as bait, going to a small AF off the coast

got a raid headed towards 10 group to keep them guessing (more to get them into action and to draw attention away from the raid on Tangmare)

got 2 raids from Luft X hitting up north, those are normally a waste

Stukas will try and knock out a Radar site while every one else is busy

I moved 3 Gruppen of fighters from Luft 3 into Luft 2

sometimes plans work too well

the RAF has put up around 320 planes, and most are headed towards my bait

and the other bait is working as well

my "Main" force raids are going in un challenged

Status: offline 		my baits worked good, but not really much fighting there

my Main Force raids snuck in pretty good, but one was cloud covered, knocked out 2 of the Main Airfields, but not really by much

the main enemy losses came from headed back to base while my raids were over head

good turn for me

so it is not as one sided as it may look, plus they went right into the heart of the strongest raid

oh give me a break, what is a BTR pic doing in my BoB folder

make it easy on me, I/JG27

as you can see, lots of work still needs to be done, even after 6 hours of work today on it

But the RAF still came down as the losers at the end of the day of course, as you pointed out.

Nice updates you're showing these days. I really like reading about your raids.

It's Bf 109 E-4/B and not E-4B; same with Bf 110 C-4/B
It's CR.42 and not Cr42
It's G.50 and not G50
MG 15 and MG 17 are 7.92 mm and not just 7.9 mm; or do you have the US small caliber guns at 7.6 mm instead of 7.62 mm ?

Status: offline 		Another question, now regarding the load/bombload. Several planes, especially fighters, have a load of 0/zero. Are they in any way negatively affected by this if load is used for guns and bombs ? Or is this value ignored for planes not carrying bombs ?

Status: offline 		I will have to double check with Harley, but it was my thinking that it only effected planes with a bomb load

but if it effect drop tanks or weapons, I will have to add a total here just to make sure

but, the ones who do, do well (lost 2 109s on the first pass, even worse, spent over a hour digging up all the info on the GE pilot who was shot down and Captured)

the raids in the north fair better

the 109s are busy and have there hands full trying to protect there stukas, but it pays off when the other raids slip though

all in all, a toss up day, hit what I wanted to hit, but took a lot of pain in return (for the test it worked great and learned what I wanted to see)
