@Zhukov44:
Anybody have solid numbers on SZ2 strike odds? Roughly calculated I’m guessing it’s 25% that the German fighter lives. I think, in general, this is an excellent attack for Germany if the fighter survives. But if the fighter dies, it may be debatable whether it was worth it, given that those 2 planes could have been used elsewhere and the Kraut sub could have gone for the defenseless transport. The 25-30% chance that Germany gets the BB without losing any planes makes this eminently tempting.
Anybody aware of a web-based calc for the new rule-set?
The only problem with that is the US destroyer and a plane and bomber can take out the sub. It would be a sittin duck. If I wasn’t going after the battleship, that sub could go for the cruiser by Gibralter, that way you don’t risk losing a plane. Or I wonder if it would be wise to try a conservative approach and keep the subs together for a round two attack. You could get three subs and a whole lot of planes for a round two attack in the Atlantic.
