Have reduced Fuel Burn to 1.0 in Stalingrad
« on: January 21, 2002, 09:14:52 PM »
S!

Fuel burn reduced to 1.0 from 1.5 in Stalingrad.  People have been saying range is too short for any decent length of fights.

I have also included the Spit V on selected fields to give the Soviets a little choice.  1300 Spits were shipped to the Soviets by Britain.  (2950 Hurricanes were shipped)  And they did see action in the south.

Just to muddy the waters, the soviets were sent 203 P-47's as lend lease, 196 of which made it there.

There picture I have is of a razor back called "Soverign Senators K. of P." with what looks to be extra radio equipment; there's a small loop antenna as wel as the normal "mast" type just behind the canopy on the razor back it's self; I think the loop is for RDF.

S! Seeker

Yes they were sent some P-47's.   But they weren't received till '44.  And I don't believe they were used much either.

S!

I have also enabled LVT2's and LVT4's at Ports.  Close your eyes and pretend they are barges with troops or guns on board.  ;)

And I finally got the Message of the Day corrected.  Was refusing to load for some reason.
