But remember that in Crete there were only a few Hurricanes and Gladiators (17 i think), and historically they were retired before operation began. So the luftwaffe had absolute control over the skies.

The royal navy fleet had the presence of a carrier but it was heavily damaged by the luftwaffe, who made a heavy punishment to many warships during this operation, sinking many of them.

Indeed - and won't it be exhilarating inflicting such a heavy punishment on a 1:1 map. BTW, This map also includes Scarpanto which was bombed and shelled by the Allies, and more or less all the area where the Luftwaffe shipping strikes took place-viking
