Are you aware of just how many ground attack sorties were flown against the Germans in 1944 and 1945? Are you aware of the millions of rounds of 50 BMG ammunition fired on strafing runs in that period? Are you aware of just how many German vehicle columns were repeatedly and mercilessly strafed in that period?
In order to conduct successful ground operations you must either conduct them where your enemy has no air assets, or you must attain at least local air superiority.
If you do not wish to be strafed, do not get caught in the open where there is no cover from air attack, and where you have no air cover of your own.
Ill answer these for you since your tone seems to infer you cannot......
Are you aware that this is a game and accuracy vs playability is a line that is often way crossed to the playability side? in many cases it is such (leaves that historically accurate argument out the window)
Are you aware how many times a 50 plane horde was sent to an airbase NOE and had all hangers down leaving them with only a handful of WW to defend [both a base and a town]? NEVER (leaves that historically accurate argument out the window)
I put those brackets in the last one for you to clearly see another example.......... where in "historical accuracy" was a town needed to be destoyed and ten troops dropped to capture territory?
so you see this is not ............as HITECH himself has said many times and will gladly say again IM sure........ a reproduction of history....... nor is it intended to be
this is a game that has trademarks of WWII equipment.......... and while I would agree that accuracy is nice in some aspects......... its not the end all way to be
lest we forget this is a game and none of our actions and behaviours in the game historically reflect
I will also in going give you one more for the historically accurate crowd......... next time you die......... logoff and dont come back..... after all you want EVERYTHING historically accurate
