RE: Where are my pilots going?

So...I take it the next patch contains an "improvement" where we have to manually sight in each infantryman's rifle before a battle, and have to click a button to change the tracks on our AFV's too?

RE: # of Groups on a runway?

<t> I love this game but I must ask who in their right mind thought of such a complicated, confusing, multi-faceted answer to a simple question like "how many planes can I have at an airfield"?<br/>

That sucks. As I said, F6F is my favorite plane. Wished there was one around here, closest we have is an FM-2 and Avenger (flyable) at Addisson Airport.
