Or for thos super plane fellas. Expand the air battle over NIS.
November 7,1944.
The actuall battle lasted 15 minutes.
P38L CAS flight vs YAK 3 Bar cap.
But what IF ....
1 squadron of 6 P38s are to hit a targets in Serbia, Select 2-3 so the Ruskie have to fly a BARCAP. 2 Squadrons of Yak 3s
Only when contacted is intiated... do the follow on forces join...
2 other P38 Squdrons nearby on CAS drop ords join air fight.
Local LA 5/7 would be diverted in to control gain air superioity( already in air flight so limit fuel. air spawn at 75 fuel))
Local 51's would be diverted in to control gain air superioity( Already in flight limit fuel. airspawn 75 % Fuel)
Once the initial is done. Area commanders would have the task of destroying opposing forces air bases to end fight.
