The RAF and Operation Sealion

Again I disagree, trying to pick up stranded troops from beaches is not the best indication of what would happen to a force manouevringat high speed at sea.

I agree with you that they would take damage, but I don't think it would be that heavy, certainly ships would be lost and damaged but I think in all honesty more would be likely to be lost the desperate defence of the invasion corridor by the KM.

Those losses were still enough to withdraw the type from action even when supported by 3:1 fighter escorts.

I'm not so sure, the Luftwaffe would have a very busy time of things, providing a CAP against RAF and FAA bombing attacks, ground attacks, counter attacks against the RN. Luftwaffe resources would be very stretched, moreso I believe than the RAF's.

The KM air units were also small compared to the Luftwaffe's strength, so-operation was notoriously poor I doubt they would have proved terribly effective. As I said, the Luftwaffe had no air launched Torpedoes, and I'll add to that that ushed, ad-hoc training of Luftwaffe units to perform torpedo attacks would almost certainly have lead to disaster.

 

Where did you get that nonsense from?
For instance 14 august BOB Diary:

Over 80 Ju87's, escorted by around 30 Me109's, were met over Dover by Spitfires of No: 65 & 610 Squadrons and Hurricanes of No: 32 & 615 Squadrons. A large dogfight ensued with the Me109's of JG26, led by Adolf Galland, who succeeded in keeping the R.A.F. fighters engaged and allowing the Ju87's to bomb their targets.

Seems more like 1:3 and they seem sucsesful....so it could be done (with air superiority)!

 

the German could not have beaten the RAF. the ME109 did not have the range to cover the bombers. the ME109 could only stay over britain for about 30 to 40 minutes. if the germans would have developed drop tanks then manybe things would have been different.

2 other things the Germans didn't count on was
1) Churchill's ability to rally the people
2) the Royal Navy was a day away from southern Britain

so if the Germans did win the air battle they would have to get past the Royal Navy
