Luftwaffe doing hellova job

KeptinCranky · 08-07-08, 01:15 AM

As far as I can tell from a similar experience to yours the one that actually causes the "enemy unit destroyed" message to appear gets the credit.

I once watched a Stuka divebomb and strafe a Large Cargo while my eel was on the way, it was fairly badly damaged but my eel hit and caused the fatal blow so I got the credit.

this is not 100% definite but it seems to work that way :hmm:

How do you get that message of "Enemy unit destroyed"? I´m running GWX2.1 no SH3 commander and the message is always "she´s going down". :hmm:

Shes going down and enemy unit distroyed is the same thing just worded diffrent.

I once was being attacked by a distroyer. Then the luftwaffe bombed him and he was on top of me, so one of the bombs also hit me.

Can't there be joint credit? I pump 2 eels into a Ceramic Liner, A BF-109 straff it and they get credit? that's a bit hard to swallow. Especially they left just in time for me to fend off the destroyers myself...

Nope....no joint credit. Goering always was a fat greedy bastid

In my game only the RAF does a hellova job.

Goering liked loaning "his" aircraft to the KM as much as he wanted his teeth pulled out. Only about 40 Condors, most of which were unservicable at any one time (a converted civil transport???), were available to KG40, based near Bordeaux, and the crews lacked the navigation skills to accurately plot a spotted convoy's position so that U-Boats could home in on it.

The lack of co-operation between the Luftwaffe and the Navy amounted to gross incompetence (something we can only be glad that happened). The Luftwaffe had been designed as an extension of the artillery for supporting ground forces and could only be relied upon (H-U Rudel excepted) to hit something that wasn't moving! They simply never trained for maritime operations prior to the war, by which time it was far too late.

Training a naval aviator takes a minimum of two years, and that's with a fully equipped and professional organisation. I know this because my father took two years to train as a Fleet Air Arm bomber pilot (TBF Avengers) from 1941-1943, and as he admitted to me still didn't know his "arse from his elbow" when it came to actual combat for the first time.

Just my thre'pennny worth.

In the middle of my latest reading (Bitter Ocean - David Fairbank White) in which the author states that some of the Condor pilots were so inept, they had difficulty in working out the course/direction some of the convoys were on.
