well, instead of playing the game, I created this. It’s a map of my current PWCG campaign, MiG3Moscow. The Moscow front as of 3 Oct 1941.
Note particularly the skill disparity in pilots (historically accurate), and the listed historical aces. You can get a sense looking at this map how the Nazi aces scored so many aerial victories: shooting down 17 year olds in outdated planes fresh from training. Nothing would make me happier than to shoot one of these bastards down…
Gerhard Barkhorn (301 victories), Gunther Rall (275), Hermann Graf (212)
Arkady Kovacevic (20)
PWCG is neat in that it creates the opportunity to have these sort of air rivalries. For example by looking at the journal I can see that I downed 3 Ju 87’s from II./StG 2 on the last mission.
I hope this is of some interest, we may come back and refer to this as we progress throughout the campaign.
