Please understand I cannot convey emotion well in this text and that I am not "laying down the law" or trying in anyway to be rude or "tell you how it is". I am only trying to explain so that you can make sense of it.

The way I read it the stuka came in at say 500m's and just skip bombed, however this was not the case, they came in at a standed stuka height and dive bombed before escaping on the deck which is completely realistic. I was lead to believe something was going wrong in the mission.

Ive checked the mission waypoints and they are correct and it has also been confirmed by witnesses that the low level part was the stuka escaping after their attack.

Well thats tactical. The blue mission was a frei-jagd. We didnt find anything until we (5./JG27 anyway) found the Stuka. Personally I didnt see one single enemy fighter.

We cannot control or alter the flight models made by MG.

We tried to make it historically and realisticly accurate. As was noted before in the explination of the campaign "for those that wish to score it" where the "who wins" and "who loses" explination was given. As we all know, the Luftwaffe will "lose". So for me personally its really the experience of it that holds any value.

Perhaps your feeling like an RAF fighter pilot in August 1940? Stretched to the limit and frustrated?

If you have any suggestions, please send me a PM. I promise to read it but I dont promise to act on it.

I spoke with you on ATAG TS3 before and you seemed reasonable. Just remember, Ive tried to make this as enjoyable but also realisticaly and historically accurate at the same time. I cant please everyone.


I think you will see the blues having a tougher time of it over the next four missions.
