Every single plane.
I've flown a lot of missions and half-missions in Normandy 41 as the RAF, but always testing - testing to see what reduces stutter, what increases framerate, which DCG settings I wanted, etc. Every time I started a new campaign fresh, and the RAF always take heavy losses. But this is the first time I played out a mission in full, and it was a long-range mission so all the other flights had time to carry out their missions as well. Not a single plane made it back. I went down in a sea of Bf-109's without another spit in sight (I took two of them with me though
).
It's hardly surprising when you look at the normandy 41 campaign file: A ton of Veteran Bf-109's are pitted against Average Hurricane Mk1's and Average Blenheim bombers. And the Axis have AAA of course. How the hell is that supposed to result in good game balance?
I gave my squadron spits, and there's one or maybe two other spit squadrons, but it's not enough.
Edit:
Those hurricanes should be MkII and Veteran I reckon... or Average MkII's against Average Bf-109's maybe. The Axis
should have an advantage over Normandy in 41, but losing the entire RAF in one hour is just daft.
