Hello!

I was puzzled as to why I've lost some planes in the down below ordeal; where a swarm of Bf109s should have minced the biplanes...

I've noticed that one of the two Air Groups of Ju52s is flying ... 'Air Superiority' mission? Where in truth that's the mission of the Bf109s... (Based exactly in the destination hex of the air transport).

I feel that there is a bug in the interaction between Air Superiority of the fighters (that are not assigned as escort but just on an AS directive) and the Air Supply.

South of Talinn - triple debacle for the Luftwaffe!

It seems the air units of both sides were performing Air Superiority in the same region (Soon to be turned into place of clash for Talinn naval sealanes...)

All losses are due to A2A and not OPS here.

This is just bad display info for the transports, no doubt caused by the fact that the intercept code is Gary's and the displaying of combat detail is Pavel's. They don't always mesh together correctly. IIRC, the transport intercepts are being done by a totally different system, with individual a/c intercepting and die rolls determining whether escorts show up, etc. I think it is heavily impacted by weather. If you do nothing in the turn 1 air phase and you start launching transport missions near the front, you will shoot down tons of Soviet fighters, with little transport loss. So I know this is possible. Could be the rain is enough to jumble things up some. Anyway, it is WAD other than the display glitch re mission type.
