Weapon facing and firing arcs

<t> Hi All,<br/>
<br/>
I'm making some updates for a scenario in the editor and have got some questions around the weapon "facing" settings.<br/>
<br/>
1) Does the "center facing" setting refer to a mount that can fire in ANY direction, or one that can fire to left or right, but not forward or ...

RE: Airacobra

<t> Ground attack \ support, Naval interdiction, I've even found it to work ok as a low altitude fighter or for intercepting un-escorted bombers around Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica. <br/>

RE: Can't get "High" Air Execution Phase detail

<r> During the opponent turn the detail defaults to minimum detail (against the AI - in PBEM I believe you don't see anything at all from the opponents turn).<br/>
Click the button highlighted in red to "4 planes" for maximum detail.<br/>

You can assign it to the AI, but it may not move where \ when you want it to.<br/>
Make sure you get supply and fuel to the airfield before you transfer or the squadron will spend a turn not able to fly.<br/>

RE: Sicily invasion - which day of the week?

I have found (anecdotally) that putting some interdiction around para landing zones in Sicily does seem to reduce the likely hood of parachute regiments being scattered.
