Dale and Fagan: i agree with you guys about the Luftwaffe over France and to an extent over Britian. but I think that the entire RAF (over britian included) being destroyed by October 1939 is somewhat hard to believe possible. espicially when one fifth of the Luftwaffes fighter where the infrior BF110s. And though tactically far suprior to the RAF the British had radar which gave them a huge advantage in directing aircraft.
Cough cough, German got radar too during ww2.
About radar a link that summarize the point during ww2:

Well Dale was more talking about the total air domination during the battle of France so during 1939/1940 there's no doubt the Luftwafe got the air domination....dont get me wrong though im not trying to be disrespecful, my knowledge of the Battle of Britian is likely far lesser than yours (I take more of an intrest in the Medditerranian and Pacific theatres)
I focused on the Battle of Britain which is after. The point is that during Battle of England Luftwafe had superiority but as Battle of England was on England, there Uk had many advantages. Hitler and Luftwafe commander changed too much their mind. Luftwafe had real success at some point of the Battle of England when suddenly Hitler changed again his mind.
But I agree that I exaggerated a bit because I was influenced by a recent reading.
Here the quote :
The climax of the Battle of Britain came on the 30th-31st August, 1940. The British lost 50 aircraft compared to the Germany's 41. The RAF were close to defeat but Adolf Hitler then changed his tactics and ordered the Luftwaffe to switch its attack from British airfields, factories and docks to civilian targets. This decision was the result of a bombing attack on Berlin that had been ordered by Charles Portal, the new head of Bomber Command.

That said you are right I also doubt Luftwafe could have entirely destroyed the RAF. But it's not really the point, there was a constant production of new planes, something you haven't done in your game.
