Just an Observation on Oct FSO
« on: Yesterday at 12:04:42 AM »
The Hour 2 matchup is a little one-sided in favor of the Axis.  B-25C vs. C.205.  Cannons vs. no tail gun.

If you want Allies to keep the B-25C, then Axis will need to drop down to C.202.  That way, the Mitchell's can have a chance against the horde.

If you want to keep the C.202, then Allied will need to keep the B-26 with formations to defend against the horde.


I did my protest of the situation by bombing to non-target towns.  We like to smash things.

I agree that a B-25C is incredibly vulnerable, but that's also where escorts come into play. I can't tell you how many sets of lone B-25s I saw coming in to a swarm of enemy fighters with absolutely no cover at all.

It's not all that different than when the Axis have to fly Ju-88s or Stukas as their attack plane... they stand no chance when intercepted. Thats why fighter escort is a crucial role.

With the being said however, there will be changes to Frame 2's aircraft. And thank you for pointing out the non-target damage, I was just working out scores.
