RE: Luftwaffe losses in 1940
Just to follow up on this thread, now that I have the time to post again:
Making air units unavailable:
-Serves the overall purpose. The problem is that this affects entire squadrons/strike packages. Another problem is timing: At just which point does a given squadron become unavailable due to overall losses and exactly which squadron will become unavailable due to this? I guess one could randomize it, but this still leaves the problem that a player might arbitrarily see his most powerful strike missions in HA/SA/Quality terms being removed wholesale.
Higher AA values:
-Works. The only problem is, that this will not affect reconnaisance missions (only Heavy AA does). Another problem is, that non-concentrated units are still vulnerable.
An observation:
Funnily enough most of the on-map SAMs in user-made scenarios of the MC series are not classed as Heavy AA, thus leaving them unable to fire at recon planes.
