Why did Britain win the BoB?

snip

The setting is July 1st, 1940. What must the Axis do better? And
what must the Allies do better?

Dispersing the aircraft helped a lot, not to mention the underestimation
by
the Germans of the British radar, add to that the Germans overestimating
the
remaining RAF forces.

I thought they underestimated?


Grossly underestimated

At the 3rd Sept meeting at the Hague were the decision to switch
targets to London was made Luftwaffe Intel was stating
that the RAF was down to its last 300 fighters

In reality the RAF was stronger than it had been at the
start of the battle. Moreover they failed to take into account
their own losses. Only Milch who had been around the
bases in Northern France talking to group commanders
had anything like a true picture of the situation.
