    Oh I didn’t plan that right.

    I think it would have been better to use 1 escort and 3 fighters for SZ95 but then a double hit from the interceptors would have taken out the bomber. So I guess that is what I was worrying about.

  • @farmboy said in Farmboy (X) vs Simon (A+20):

    @farmboy And regardless, you gambled and it paid off.

    I guess I should have gambled on 1 fighter escorting the bomber. But I am positive you would have intercepted in that scenario. I calculate 7 in 27 chance of killing the bomber on the intercept. Which is quite high IMO but if it comes off I could have brought in another British fighter and perhaps 2 if the escort is shot down, which it probably would be. And I would have saved the US TT then.
