I think you need a new calculator.
I don't have trouble with your reasoning but you should check your math before clicking 'post'.
I also see the usual pattern of two people arguing different things. It is like circles on a map.. how to tell what the overlaps mean when the circles have different criteria.
Maybe A-8's as air superiority fighters were fewer than total A-8's but when did that become the comparison? I was reading A-8's, not A-8 sub-types.
FB, A-8 production for all of 1944... when did A-9 production get into swing that year? I see A-8's in the hundreds from II/44 and wonder how many were still in use 9 months later? Ditto for early A-9's.
Aren't there people with unit strength figures or is that too incomplete?
If it's about what was more used, I don't think that should control player choice. Show that the type was in short supply or that certain units only had them (should not be hard, then the player can pick the unit).
If it's about what was more used, that would be good to know in mission design what AI's to place and the tasks they are assigned. But when in IL2 will players encounter A-8's without massed B-17's coming right around the corner? Last sim I could run that could have even a taste of that was EAW.
Come to think about it.. on the newer decked-out PC's, might there be enough power to fill the skies with AI bombers and escorts? 4.4?
