Title: Scores for July 2024 FSO: Barbarossa Blitz

Notes:

The Allies used one extra C.205 than the 12 allotted. I have negated the score gained by the top C.205 pilot, who killed one He 111 and one 109F for a penalty of -12 points.


I am making some changes for Frame 2:

Bf 109F added to Hour 2.

Ground Target points are doubled. I feel I grossly underestimated the ability of the Axis attack planes to score points.

Here is a table with the adjusted scoring. The Allies still win handily.

Also, we have a new squad joining us beginning in Frame 2. The Leper Colony flew as guests of LCA in Frame 1 and will fly under their own name going forward. Welcome aboard.  :salute

Bit of a long post here, please bear with me.

Frame 2 scores with the double ground object point values.

Clearly I missed the mark on the points revision after Frame 1. The Axis definitely was able to destroy some ground targets in Frame 2 and ran up the score.

In fact, the Axis would have won the frame even with the original point values, but by a slim margin.

Frame 2 scores with original point values.

I don't think anyone doubts that the Axis won Frame 2 just as the Allies winning Frame 1 is also not in doubt.

So this leaves me with a conundrum. Do I revert back to the original values and hope the Axis can score enough to make it close, or do I leave the revised system in place and hope the Allies can destroy enough attackers so that the Axis can't score much?

With both sides each having a landslide victory in the frame where they benefited most by the system, I'm inclined to believe that another system change is needed - to a near middle ground in terms of ground object point values.

Here are the scores for both Frames 1 and 2 with Hour 1 hangars and bunkers valued 1.5 time their original value and Hour 2 hangars getting the same x1.5 boost. Hour 2 bunkers are 1 point per the original system.

With that system, both frames have a 113 point margin of victory. I think we'll go with it for Frame 3.

Sorry for moving the goal posts once again, but I want the points to reflect the apparent feel of the frames and not have either side face too much of an uphill battle to win.

The Axis win Frame 3 and win overall, 2 frames to 1.

There were some intense fights all month. Hope you all had fun.  :salute
