3 actually David, it's no wonder Georing thought he was winning
lol
Farber, please don't get the wrong idea about what I am saying. I gave a solution, that is one of honour, that your guys get together before the mission and decide who flies what, more or less. That's what we are doing in the RAF. What is happening from what you are saying is that you have a limit on E4's and that first in grabs one if they can? Why not start with the E-1's and as they run out grab E-4's since it is innocuous.......
Another solution and one that is more historically accurate is that you tell each leader that they can have amongst their groups 50% E4s, 10% E3's and remainder E1's (or whatever percentage). They can then sort that out according to how many turn up. What's the use in posting those percentages if you aren't able to stick with them? All the same I'd like to see the raw numbers, COD is too rubbish to even allow viewing of a second stats page!
Regardless of whether RDF was taken out or not does not matter, the fact that it took a large raid to do it and they were unsuccessful most of the time doesn't mean that sending 3 stuka's to each and being successful is in any way a reflection on history. For instance, Ventnor required the entire group of KG76 and KG26 supported by ZG2, JG52, JG1 (top of my head, prolly got some squadrons wrong), the raid was 100+ just for one site. If you want to do that then fine, perhaps we can just change our tactics to have 1 squadron circling each RDF site (there are only 5) and we'll bag 15 no problem, which is better than what we've managed so far
OK, I'm far more of a cynic than klem, I know it'll rub you up the wrong way and I don't mean to do that, but essentially klem and I are saying the same thing about this
