I think there should be a cap for Luftwaffe air superiority fighters such as Bf 109K and Fw 190D, of at least 40 out of 130 fitghters

Both the 370th FG and 474th FGs of the 9th AF were operating 38s in the escort role for the 8th in the fall of 44. The 370th was recalled from it's forward base in Belgium and located to Wattisham with the 479th.

The 474th was sent back from A78 it's forward base in Belgium to Honington where the 361st was based and flew from there in the escort roll in their 38s.

The 38s in the Scenario are representing the 428th and 429th FS's of the 474th.

428th were "The Geyser Gang" 429th were "The Retail Gang"

My bad, i thought it was going to be strictly 8th inventory vs the Luftwaffe.

This will be a change for me using something with cannons!

er... if you're really that unfamiliar with LW cannons (I say this because I don't know your flying habits) I strongly suggest you practice with nothing else until the scenario begins. 30mm can take forever to master, and the 20mm even take some time to learn. On the bright side the G-14 has both!

I'm not that bad with um I personally find 20MM easy to aim for some reason. I will have to work with the taters though. I just need to sake off a lil rust with the German Iron is all

Glad to hear I was leaning towards that one as well. The one in the corner just makes it feel off balance.

Thank you Rider. Remember, your MA squad has nothing to due with the units you may be assigned for the Scenario. As example, there were two JG's flying the 109 K4 on Nov 2, 1944 as represented by the following:

I let the browser sit for 10 minutes and they end up showing outlines (one narrow one wide) with red "X"s in them.

EDIT: P.S. This is killing me. I want to see what's on 'em

EDIT2: They show up now! Must have been a server hiccup!
