ORIGINAL: paullus99 Seeing the OOB totals - scary to think that the Russians still have almost 5 million soldiers available, even given the losses taken to date. ...but the Axis have more (over 5 million in total) plus all the advantages of C&C, organisation etc. They also have just over 5000 AFVs - almost 1:1 (inc the Italians tankettes - but the Soviets have lots of small stuff too), and a 1:1.5 disadvantage in guns. Get to it, Elmo !!! What I am surprised at is the disparity in aircraft, a 1:1.67 ratio - and this after the devastation caused to the Soviets in the first air raids. I had thought the Germans were way ahead in aircraft (and in air superiority) until late '42. Any word from you airheads on the histroical position? Elmo, is this translating into lost air battles, casualties etc or are the number of aircraft less relevant thus far than quality, experience etc? I continue to be completely gripped by this AAR Stuart
