Time period specific Fighter Cover?
Hello all,
I finally got a hard copy of the B17 game, a loaner from a friend.
I saw in the introduction that the game represents missions from Aug 1942 - April 1943.
With the emulator program you can run missions beyond this time period.
My question is does the emulator extend the fighter cover beyond the original zones based on the improvement in Allied fighters as time goes on.
So if I fly a mission in Jan 1944 will I have potential fighter cover all the way to Berlin?
I read in the help area that the program tracks the ground war and wondered if it did the same in the air.
Along with that idea do we see a time period modifier for the German fighter waves? It may peak late in 1943 and start a general decline throughout 1944.
Has there been a variant that gave us that detail. I’m just curious.
Thanks
-Lou

Re: Time period specific Fighter Cover?
I guess I should read the message board more often. ;-)
Yes, the advance of Allied armies across Europe, and the increase in fighter range, is reflected in the game depending on month and year. (Although it may not seem obvious, that is mentioned in the "Summary of Features" portion of the help.)
