My 4th panzer did counter attack the past turn without reserves (I used the units which were at the front). The result is that I weakend most of the front and the soviets took advantage of it

Traemyn mailed me that because he had not a lot to do during the last turn, he decided to bomb my airfields to see what will happen.

Status: offline 		The fact is that because i don't have a lot of time to play, I have let the AI handle the air war and the SU things.
But here, I would like to have some comments of you guys about this result : I have lost 1106 planes ! 25 % of what I had !. "It is an air pearl harbor in the east"
I would say that at first I was a little furious ! It is 43, am I suppose to lose all my air fleet in the coming three turns ! Should I put them in reserve, save them for the final assault on Berlin ! It seems really that there is a problem here...
Let's understand :
Did I do some mistakes ? Yes, I found one : Up north, only 45 fighters and of course, when Traemyn did 30 attacks on my airfields there, after 5 of them, the sky was Russian and many axis bombers were destroyed on the field...But on the other part of the front, my fighters and fighter bombers were ready but in spite of that I lost a thousand planes.
Second thing : The soviets have around 32 000 planes....I had only 4000...
Third thing : Is that because of the default settings ? Should I change something ? The percent required to fly is to high now ?
If some of you could share with me there thoughts or even their knowledge of the air war in the east in 43, you would be very welcome !
traemyn ask me if we should stop the air field bombing thing...I said "YES" !

Status: offline 		Here is what Traemyn found . Here is the link http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=117575&p=1033888&hilit=+luftwaffe
The distribution of the Luftwaffe shows an even more striking shift from East to West from 1942 to 1944. This may be partly illustrated by the loss patterns. In general, they were as follows

Luftwaffe Losses (WF/EF):

1942
1-engine fighter 536/707
2-engine fighter 61/178
nightfighter 83/0
ground attack 169/457
bombers 690/957
total 1,539/2,299

1943
1-engine fighter 2,359/1,135
2-engine fighter 182/132
nightfighter 274/23
ground attack 518/905
bombers 1,164/3,128
total 4,497/3,128

1944
1-engine fighter 6,818/972
2-engine fighter 275/185
nightfighter 1,063/94
ground attack 345/1,237
bombers 1,217/425
total 9,718/2,913

An even more intriguing change may be seen if we look at just the three months May-July 1943 and witness the changes that occurred then. Looking at just single-engine fighters we find that the distribution of strength (as of the first of the month)/losses (during the month) were:

Luftwaffe Strengths (WF/EF)
May 1943
West 1,113/159
East 623/112

June 1943
West 1,361/173
East 533/58

July 1943
West 1,399/487
East 494/183

So over just a three-month period the fighter strength in the West increased by 20.4 percent, while that in the East decreased by 20.7 percent. At the same time losses in the West went from 14.29 percent of strength, to 12.71 percent, to 34.81 percent, while losses in the East went from 17.98 percent, to 10.88 percent, to 37.04 percent.

As of 1 June 1944 a rough breakdown of strength by type is (West/East):

1-engine fighter 1,400/560
2-engine fighter 220/137
nightfighter 834/101
ground attack 265/816
bombers 917/781
total 3,636/2,395

So we both agree that something is broken in the game here and that he won't do anymore airfield strikes. I will put some more fighters up north to be more "historical"

During the previous turn, a few attacks have been made by my opponent. Now we got Mud everywhere again !
Some strong forces seems to be ready to strike north of Mogilev. I may withdraw in this sector.

The soviets did two arty attacks the previous turn. A few casualties, more on the soviet side ! Here are the results, a little strange, don't you think ?

The soviets are more than 8 millions now...but with the axis allies, they are facing a huge army too ! I feel confident, they won't reach Berlin before 1946.

Status: offline 		3 JUNE 1943, Clear weather, and this should stay as it is until october. The dice are loaded. I withdraw in some places (mostly in the center and up north). It shorten my line, I can make finally some reserves. I merge a few units. In front of the 3rd panzer, I withdraw 20 miles...I am excited to see what Traemyn is up to.
Up north, I have a panzer corps in the back to counter attack where necessary

Status: offline 		Turn 104 June 10th 1943
What I had expected happended. The soviets have launch some massive and violent offensives all around the front. The situation north of Kiev is not critical but I will have to withdraw most of the front and run !
Here, in the south, some very powerful russians armies have broken my front in several places...I was very close to try to count how many guards corps or rifle corps are involved but it will take to many time. I see tank corps, mech corps which drove by the holes made in my line, I see arty div behind. Three german inf are surrounded (LII corps of the 17th army)
I made a lot of recon behind those powerful forces and it seems that the soviets have no reserve.
There must be something to do.
The plan is to try to surround the primary spearhead of the soviets. See the arrows ! Am I dreaming ? I have put my best units to achieve this kind of move and it may be possible ! Anyway, I have to try, I won't get this opportunity again. It's the turning point ! all together.
Now I have to calm down and do my best !
