Default Re: The Luftwaffe goes defensive

The Me-210 was a fighter they wasted time and money on. Like the He-177 it was a danger to the crews and not the allies.

In late 1941 how good was German radar ? It is not easy to find bombers at night or cloudy days or even in clear days if your timing is off.

Anouther factor from anouther thread in the past is how many bombers were lost to flak crews vs fighters ? How much does it cost to produce a flak gun and crew vs a fighter and crew ? An example would be how well North Viet Nam did with their AA crews shooting down Americans.

Anouther item to throw out is that the Germans did produce alot of fighters, I believe the Me-109 was the most produced fighter of the war by any country. In excess of 33,000 of all versions.
