Dantoo, I would not oppose a fuel burn change at all.

I'll elaborate further on my timing considerations after frame 3.

Back it up.  Show me your sources and prove me wrong.  I only question it because I am challenging if it is historically correct.

On what grounds are you questioning the planeset? You exhibit no rational thought. This event represents the last days of the war in Europe. There is no possible way that the planes here are being used too early, which is what you are suggesting by questioning the planeset.

Mate I don't doubt for a moment you have your reasons.  I KNOW that you like to fight.  Me too!

I'm just frustrated that there seems to be an element of avoiding combat for no particular worthwhile tactical reason being proposed as a salve for a problem that doesn't need it.
I get really really tired of selective realism disguised as a desire to make bombers easier to kill.

It is my right to question it and search for it if I am right or wrong.  Now back up your sources to show that I am wrong.

Yes,  as I look into it more it dose favor the axis at the same time,  historically,  allies out numbers the luft by 44-45.  Thus this should be a 40/60 set up.
So the Allies get a 40 pilot advantage? Not necessarily a bad thing, I didn't have much to shoot at.

Thank you.  You just support my questionable set up.

I agree with a your frustration towards the trend of timid approaches to making orders. Thankfully the relative proximity of the bases makes it possible for those looking for battle to find it on their own initiative regardless if the CiC tries playing the points saving game.

What exactly are you looking for? Your posts are less a question and more like the ramblings of an imbecile.

And you can back anything too.  My question still stands.

Perhaps if you formed your thoughts into a coherent sentence in the form of a question, I could attempt to answer it for you.

I'll ask again. What exactly about the planeset are you questioning?

On the timeline of the battle of Berlin, did the Russians face against K-4, Dora's, Th-154 and Ar-234?

I suppose you didn't get the tongue-in-cheek bit...not sure a 40/60 would help much. There have been numerous 45/55 setups. Eastern Front is Eastern Front.

" .. the copy of Loos' Flugbuch that I have shows clearly that he had four victories in his Ta 152 – if they are correct, who knows. Nevertheless they appear to have been confirmed by the Geschwader-Adjutant on 07.05.1945. There must be gaps in his Flugbuch – I find it strange that he start into a combat flight with a completely new machine, the Ta 152, without any training-flight before? Not even a short “Platzrunde” took place when he took off in “green 3” on 20.04.1945. The flights with victories were on 24., 25. and 30.04.1945. On 24.04. he claimed two Laag 9 (near Berlin), on 25.04 one Laag 9 (near Nauen) and on 30.04. one Laag 9 (near Berlin) again. All flights took place from Neustadt-Gleve.."

Must I continue, or are you satisfied that there was indeed combat in the Berlin area?
