CFS 3 Help...

[Maestro]

Greetings ladies and gentlemen.

I would like to know, does any of you have a special trick to win with the USAAF ? I was able to complete the game easily on the British side, but I can't complete it when I play on the American side.

Each time I land on on continental Europe (all of the time, British assault first), I get pushed back to the sea. Worst : I can't launch a ground offensive with the American (while I could on the British side).

Is there a trick or is the game simply uncompletable with the USAAF ?

 

[mosquitoman]

It's probably completable, I've completed it as the Luftwaffe

 

[Maestro]

If it is completable, that's damned hard. I completed it with the RAF on the first try (103 missions (my longivity record), British troops walked on Berlin on 30th July 1944) but I never succeeded to complete it with the USAAF.

On a try I made a while back on the USAAF side, in about 50 missions, British troops landed three times on continental Europe. Each time, they got pushed back into the sea.

The developers must not have been Americans. If they were, using the USAAF would be the only way to win!

 

[cheddar cheese]

True.

 

[Maestro]

Agreed.

Hooray ! After a last try, I finally completed the USAAF campaign. I broke most of my personnal records, though (old records were made with the RAF)...

Old longest campaign record : 103 missions
New longest campaign record : 158 missions

Old highest rank record : Air Commodore (level 25)
New highest rank record : Lt. General (level 33 (or 34, can't remember))

Old air kills record : 131
New air kills record : 296

(Note : when you destroy an aircraft on the ground, it is counted as an "air kill". I must admit that between 25% and 33% of the American campaign kills were made by shooting parked planes. While 99% of my RAF kills were really made in the air.)
