S3 Series

See Coolon's write-up in the "Operation Crossbow Results" thread.

Fighter versus Fighter combat was largely ineffective this frame, but the B-25Js paid heavily for their escorts inability to take down LW fighters.
Despite their very high loss rate, RAF Mitchells managed to destroy V-1 launch sites at Lottigen (F47) and Bois de Renty (F82) as well as six LW fighters.


The numbers.

Allied
12 unique pilots, 37 sorties
14 B-25J sorties
10 Tempest sorties
2 Typhoon sorties
11 SpitIXe sorties

Losses
3 Tempest, 5 player flown B-25J, and 21 AI B-25s

Kills
Tempest - 1 x FW 190A8
B-25J - 4 FW190A4, 2 FW190A8, 2 V-1 launch sites closed

Axis
7 unique pilots, 31 sorties
8 FW190A8 sorties
7 FW190A4 sorties
16 Bf109G14 sorties

Losses
3 FW190A8
5 FW190A4
0 Bf109G14

Kills
Fw190A8 - 4 B-25J AI
Fw190A4 - 11 B-25J AI
Bf109G14 - 2 Tempests, 1 Spit IX, 6 B-25J AI

Frame ruled another tactical victory for the LW. RAF will be calling up all their reserve Mitchell crews for frame 4.
Five V-1 launch sites remain operational.

A previous post stated that we got Lancs in frames 2 and 4. Bomber command has changed its mind?

Yes. In the frame 2 results I posted:

Daytime bombing???
