Here GREEN GAL and her crew have completed 7 missions - all to France and Holland - with 2 KIA and one WIA - invalided home. Bombing percentage averages 25%. Attrition rate just under 2%.
They've had a pretty easy work up and have got HEROES manning the WAIST and BALL guns. However - all these easy 3-4-5 zone missions cannot continue forever.
I've greatly reduced the impact of FLAK - though it has caused all the losses and damage so far. I've added a DRM to the BANDITS DR for A/C returning - since a few references have mentioned that after bombing the target the formations were more vulnerable. I suppose it figures since the German controllers would know the end and start point of a pretty straight line back to base. Major deviations from this course would be unlikely given limited fuel and the need to get damaged planes and wounded men back to safety.
This drm will especially add to the danger of high and lead/tail positions.
