November 1940...the Battle of Britain is Lost. Looks like history has repeated itself. The big mistake was the failure to have fighter II (FW-190) researched, and more importantly in production in time. Apologies for the clutter, but I figured context on the 1417 fighters over Britain was necessary. This campaign witnessed the inadvertent creation of Belgian Germany on my part, watching two collaboration government missions for both Belgium and then two more for France go down the drain, was amusing, in a masochistic I like getting punched in the gut, kind of way.
It is evident there was a failure to build enough bombers on my part. CAS was not useful, since they cannot bomb runways, CAS losses on port strike missions were horrendous, of course there were anywhere from 50-100 ships parked in port, so a fantastic amount of AAA fire.
From the graph I was winning, up to the point were Spitfire production kicked in. Belgian Germany, really did a number on me, since I could not build radar in Normandy, Brittany, and Pas de Calais. Now, I will be honest I did not aggressively manage this, I wanted to see what a certain event would do which required working down the National Focus tree namely, the Reich's Komissariat (spelling may be off). Funny thing, looking at the event it looks like it would have created Belgian Germany anyways.
Here was my main line fighter variant, ME-109D
I know there is a glaring issue with resources, lack of fighter II production, at this stage wasn't planning on carrying this campaign forward.
So if stuck with a a fighter I variant, what is the best strategy to rest control of the air over Britain in 1940?
