Unfortunately, the results in the air and sea environments are much less satisfactory. The ridiculous bathtub navy and the comical "bombers" are not simulations, but a travesty thereof, and testament to the fact that not all change is for the good.
Rod,
I agree with you. I find that the AA is most effective and nine times out of ten the Germans get a significant boost in AA capablility from their scout cars, mg platoons etc. I've yet to be saved by a US scout car or HT which was equipped with a pretty good anti aircraft gun.
I won't belabor the discussion of fixed bomber groups. That is fine for those who have campaigns that can use them. I hope scenario designers that have PBEM in mind will not be using them.
The concept of the spotter planes, helicopters, and "spooky's" remaining on the map is O.K. by me. I just don't need to see airplanes being intercepted by other planes, or dive bombers "dive" out of the sky.
The naval graphics? They are a work in progress. I'm not as jazzed about them. And, I am interested to see how they improve in future upgrades.
