@simon33 said in PtV L25 Simon33 (Allies) vs Nikola1975 (Axis +13) game 2:
Scramble to Normandy or SZ55?
Same Q
Scramble decision in 113
What’s a good rule of thumb to use on whether to scramble or not. I know there’s no realistic chance of victory, but I want to take as much of the Luftwaffe with me as i can. What I’d like to know is what are the odds that scrambling will hurt you more than it will hurt me?
I know it’s super early where you are so just whenever can you point me in the right direction? TY
@max334 I like to use the battle calculator’s TUV feature and average units remaining. If a battle is less than 80%s then I usually go with average units and manually calculate TUV because the numbers can get skewed.
In this case the odds are nearly 100% even with the scramble. So you can compare average TUV swing and see if it changes between the two. In this case I think it is essentially flat. Which means on average each of your fighters gets a plane. But part of that is because the engine is automatically selecting a 12-ipc strat bomber as my 2nd and 3rd casualty, so it would probably be more like a -4 IPC avg TUV if you scramble.
As far as reasons to still do it: you’re already looking at a -28 battle. If you can keep that number where it is and trade UK fighters for German ones, it takes pressure of US to build more Atlantic fleet to stay close to shore, and helps Russia. I’d have to consider what I would do with my fighters if I don’t scramble them too. Maybe you want to start moving them from London towards India along the Gibraltar-Egypt pipeline. If that is more important to you than the German planes you may or may not shoot down (luck still! She can be a fickle creature…)
damn, again I fail to understand, but never-the-less lets scramble 3 ftrs and take a few extra Luftwaffe down with us
I also find this tool useful sometimes, when I want to look at the likelihood of a more extreme outcome:
https://www.omnicalculator.com/statistics/dice
For example, if I want to know how likely it is for all of your fighters + your battleship to score hits on the first round:
it is 19.75%. Since you also have a destroyer and a cruiser, you could get 3 hits from your BB+Fighters and one from them. The chance that you get at least 3 hits from your BB+fighters is 59%.
You’d still need to hit with your DD or cruiser (67% chance one of them hits), so your odds of getting 4 hits in the first round is about 50-50.
The battle calculator shows average units left for Germany being 6.73. so over the course of the simulations UK killed 4 most of the time, only 3 a small amount of the time, and 5-6 enough of the time to average a little over 4 kills total. Also a little over half of the battles went to round 2 as the Average #rounds is 1.65

I skipped the scramble to Libya due to +70% odds, but if you would like to scramble there we can re-roll.
@Stucifer just seeing this. I’m not sure where it came from, sometimes they just seem to materialize… its the craziest thing :)
@max334 sorry, I have bad humor. I’m investigating it now and I dont see a ftr removed
Damn, now I have egg on my face. It’s all the more embarrassing because a few years back I got upset at someone for materializing a panzer and not even telling me that they had done an edit.
no worries sir happens to the best of us :)
