No matter how well-meaning, the account was mostly in their minds.  Post-war review of enemy aircraft losses showed that the bomber gunners' claims were wildly exaggerated.

Agreed, oldman. Im sure many gunners in several buffs all made claims on the same enemy a/c they were shooting at and saw go down.  Hence, the bloated USAF stats.

However, I wouldnt totally disregard the 3 documented gunner aces, that certainly sounds plausible in a war that went on for several years with thousands of sorties. The poster stated that there was never a gunner ace, I was curious and did a little googling.

Anyhow, that was a cut and paste from the web page I sited, not my words

One of the things talked about for the DGS scenario is not posting logs until the end of the scenario.

Instead we'd have folks do combat reports for their claims and do the tallies from that

we're curious as to whether that overclaiming would show itself in the scenario, in particular with bomber gunners.

It would also be interesting to see how close the fighter claims would be to actual losses etc.

Guppy35,

I think the holding of results for general consumption is a great idea. I hope it is implemented.

I'd add a 15 kiloton bomb for 50k perk points.  Complete with graphic effects and strange orange/greenish glow.
