S3 Series

Ground fog in England stopped a planned assault by Bomber Command on the two advanced airfields of the Luftwaffe near Dover. By the time it cleared the German assault was underway hitting the interior RDF site near Dunkirk England. As well West Malling and Rochester and Southend Port were targetted by fast flying Ju88s. The slower but more durable RAF Wellingtons finally got airborne and in a tree-hoping attack came in on Lympne and Hawking taking down the few structures here and causing extensive damage to the fields effectively closing them to German operations. 24 Wellingtons were lost during the four main attacks hitting hard at Bomber Command morale. Luftwaffe bomber and strike units were feeling just as beaten up loosing 53 aircraft during the day but able to claim knocking out a radar station and airfield. Fighter-bombers for each side were very active with Hurricanes taking out at least 14 panzers and Bf110s several trucks and a Matilda. The main fighters continue to go toe to toe with them both claiming about 25 victories each but Spitfire IIs only lost 15 while Bf109E4 Aas lost 33 to enemy action. Ju88s for the first time hit London causing extinsive damage to the warehouse district but on the long return home several were lost lacking escort to make it back to France.

Frame too close to call. BDA for both sides still not complete as well as pilot losses.

Frame 3 will see 18 and 6 closed as well as 35 and 68. Luftwaffe must base back in France which may not be a bad thing.

Notes:

1. Continue to have overloading issues with AI routines. Some routines were put on hold by the general and then had to be run by CM command. Arena was reloaded at some time due to the lack of a space before .loadmo. Some logging was lost until it was corrected by yours truely.

2. Due to everything hitting the fan both sides had their AI missions launched out of turn or after a substantial delay. Will try and simplify the general AI in the arena to allow the important ones to load when and where they are needed.

I watched all the Wellingtons RTB after their sorties and no axis pilots were credited with their scores... something just doesn't seem right here...

I had 2 kills and 2 assists Sunday and the S6 shows I was there but nothing else. Jabo can you look into this? Thanks.

I also had a kill my first sortie, which the purser shows I only flew one sortie in which I was pk'ed... was the first sorties of some deleted... looking for a screen shot of the buffer showing my kill.

Something in the settings seemed to be off considerably.

We had at least 15 or more pilots attack the Wellingtons over 18 with no effect at all.

Several of us emptied all our ammo into them. I put 1/3 ammo from d2.5 and closer into 3 different Wellingtons with no parts, no smoke, nothing.
All of us pretty much had the same story to tell when attacking them. They seemed to be invulnerable.
I reviewed the buffer the whole time and saw absolutely no Wellingtons go down, or any pilots credited with a kill on them.
Not sure how the 24 got shot down. Ack?, strange reset?

Worth checking into.

If you are missing kills, please see my post about the frame. I will need to know everything that is missing including who you killed.

I aw several Wellingtons run into the ground at 18 but I saw at least 6 land at their home field.
