RE: Luftwaffe losses in 1940
Frieser, The Blitzkrieg Legend, pp. 44-54 actually gives slightly higher numbers for the french at the front and lower numbers for the Germans at start. Total losses Allies 1921 planes, Germans 1559.
A large number of french planes in the rear areas never got into the fight.
The Germans had neither numerical nor technical superiority in the air war.
But, the German air superiority in the game is set such that the Allies can do nothing about it. Should, and how might this be changed?
In any case, I hope not to sound overly critical by opining that the air model in these games has its flaws.
