night airwar features in IL2 would be realy needing a new groundattack "target".
a target circle wich counts the total ammount or (as best selectable) weight of bombs that are hitting the inner circle.

Nightbombombing was no precision bombing IIRC
and hiding trucks in the houses is annoying .................................

Well the mission I have at the moment involves only playing for the defenders. It uses MDS to generate a number of inbound bombers of various behaviours (including rising after dropping bombs, turning away from heavy searchlight concentrations etc) and FoW to generate radar returns that update every 20 secs.

The best tactic in this early Himmelbett/Kammhuber Line phase of the war seems to be to loiter near a Himmelbett Beacon in a searchlight zone and try to pick off the raiders as they come past. Not easy - you have to be in the right place and move fast. And there are problems like being picked up by your own searchlights that makes things tricky.

But it's LOADS of fun.

Put the mission in a dogfight folder and fly as the Germans, trying to intercept British bombers using ground control and radar.

The mission only makes sense full real with just the Fog of War switch off.

Thanks Ian! Really looking forward to having AI radar in Il-2, myself. In the meantime, though, time to swot up on the new nav stuff in 4.10 before I even have the slightest chance of shooting something in this mission.

Thanks Ian, can't wait to try it! I hope, like everyone else, that TD continues with the night fighter content. The new darker night is a welcome addition
