Just spewing thoughts out in an incoherent manner....
According to MA chatter the bomber guys think they done did very well, kudoing the escorts yada yada, not realizing how much we didn't attack them. We've stonewalled the northern route so it seems on face value they would try up the gut again. Saying this frame plays out similar and we hold the A-8s. LF 6 has the numbers to shed a few R6s to test for BT effectiveness. The other 109s roll in on escorts, the usual shtick, but in the process, and well in advance of the 190s, some R6s make runs on buffs. Mini shooters if you will. If they are far more killable (unlikely at BT 1.5) then we focus on the humans. If not, the 190s skip through like last frame. Hopefully we can appeal to jabo's sense of reasoning and BT lowers for Frame V. Then we have our heaviest hitters at the most opportune time. Sun Tzu critical mass and all that.
As the guy who cleaned up the bomber hitmaps and in light of other changes in the heavy bomber DM, I will state that we don't need to test the BUFFTUFF settings.
At 1.5, the only POSSIBLE one pass kill is a Pilot Kill and it will be difficult. The kill box for the pilot is smaller than it was in Frames 1 and 2 and they won't die as easy as before.
Here is your briefing if you plan to attack human bombers with BuffTuff above 1.0
