I believe there is a bug to do with the pilots in the Air replacement Unit (VR). If you transfer manually then only the ac are received. In auto with ‘Replacements on’ then both ac and pilots are transferred, I don’t think should be? Another work around might be to send the pilots back to the repla...

If you want to send it to the map, right click on an air base on the map instead.

There you will find the option to move units to the air base form the reserve.

Check the game settings.

My guess would be that you have the AI air assist box checked.

uncheck it if checked.

Hi, a question regarding the letters you can see in the list of aircraft you can choose from for bombing misssions or others.

What do they stand for ( i noticed n, j, r and some others i do not remeber right now)?

They are obviously related to radar.

n= nightfighter?

Hi,
Trying out the Ford showcase scenario

The Marines transport will run out of fuel in about 17 hours, before the scenario is over.
I have a tanker to refuel.

How do I set this up?

The same way I refuel aircraft?

I have a CV squadron with low experience pilots. How/Where do i train them? I am aware that you can put squadrons on training, so it is is more a question of where the squadron has to be to be trained. a) while squadrons are on CV, the CV is in a TF. Will they train? b)squadron is on CV, but the CV ...

In War in the East 2 ( soviet side) i use my air assets mostly in the ground support role. But in this game, i am not sure. Still Torch scenario. It is difficult to get an idea of the effect of ground attack missions ( interdiction). Right now, I exclusively use them on Ground attack missions, with ...

Well, Follow up to my rant.

I used my air assets the wrong way.

In the second try, i kept my fighter planes further back, checked where exactly the Luftwaffe was flying interdiction missions and send some spare fighters on air superiority missions.

Much better results this time.

Is there a historical reason for the decision that Central Front does not have a dedicated air command?

I really tried every tactic. Ground support, ground attack, air superiority, attacking airfields. no effect. results every time: I attack his airfields-> no effect Axis AI attacks my airfields. I lose 60 planes in the air, and 80 on the ground I try to interdict ONE Hex with everything, ALL Bombers ...

yes, i believe you can assign all types you want.

I believe I have found it.

RAG-> Reserve Air Group.

Historically, these were equipped like SAGs, but got the newer planes, better pilots, and were assigned to STAVKA as a reserve.

What does it stand for?

Great. Now you cannot even use them to refuel ships manually.
I always used them to manually refuel my fleets. tons of work, but the only way to get some use out of this class of ships.

Now not even that works.

Any ideas on how to use them at the moment? Or should i just scrap them?

Thanks for the clarification.

One question to 4. Mission points.

With every air mission from a carrier, you expend mission points, representing, i think, gasoline and weapons such as torpedos. Do they also get replenished via ammunition transfers ( AEs)?

Hi, wonder if you can send a TF out in 1944/45 for almost indefinite amount of time ( as historical ) 1 ) fuel: underway replenishment possible 2 ) ammunition: underway replenishment possible 1945 3 ) planes : possibe 4 ) aviation fuel ( Mission points) : ? do they replenish too or do you need to do...

Manual under Auto Design (see green circle below) means that as new techs come out your ship will generally not be upgraded. You’ll need to select the design and then click Upgrade from this screen when new components are researched. You will probably have to manually manage the weapons each time yo...

the Video was really well done and very informative. Thanks.

Edit: BOTH Videos are well done and very informative...

just that, read here a while ago that you do not need to bother trying to break through the modern russian SAM systems ( like SA-21 Growler). They seem to be invincible, at least in the game.

How does DW2 create planetary systems? Of Course, we do not exactly know what planetary systems look like, but there is a difference to be expected between a Type O star and a Type M star, for example. And what about the distribution of different star types? Type M stars seem to be more numerous tha...

What was the date when the Allies are allowed to use air dropped mines?
Something in 1943, I believe.

Is the same true for the Japanese ?
