Aircraft

Ok, just tested out my thoughts on more realistic aircraft, but it seems to have had no effect. Although it was just one game there was 12 aircraft pulled off them 6 missed the target roll, of the other 6, only one would have been a miss for the Germans. In the 6 attacks, 4 generated results, 2 of which I rolled on the BF table instead of the DF. Again both were misses. So, not much of a change.

But in reading the rules, two points stand out. I aircraft can combined there attack, so if you have multiples you can attack them together for a higher column. Would be interesting to see what scenarios have multiples, but I do not believe this is captured in PG-HQ. Second, when a aircraft misses and you roll friendly fire it is always on the BF table. This makes sense, I just have never encountered that before.

Lastly for my little experiment, I did a little internet searches to figure out what aircraft should be DF v. BF for the aircraft of Kursk. I have attached the spreadsheet for others to muse over.
