@farmboy Generally agree. If you don’t hit 111 then not doing anything with the 124 sub frustrates me. Not the most important issue but I prefer to use all my units if possible. This game didn’t have the Scottish fighter or the 111 sub so I think I would surely have preferred to attack 111, normally strafe with the BB. But hey, there are other options.

Regarding the UK BB, if you are doing a Gibastion with a later attack on the Italian fleet that could be very useful I suppose. I will just note that I have never felt regret for not attacking it. If it is demoted to escort duty, I think that is significantly less useful.

@max334

Hm, not sure why I didn’t land German fighter to Rome.
SZ114 - yes, one fighter.
SZ99 - yes, two fighters.
