Aircraft Carriers

[Maximeba]

I have noticed that you can not attack ground units in a port with an aircraft carrier. All attacks against a port hex are naval attacks (even if no unit exist in the hex). Is there some way of having carriers distingush between what type of air attack you would like in a port hex?

I'm pretty sure that you are attacking both, naval and land units then.

I agree, you get both.  My report says "No ships found", then "Light damage" for the land unit.

hello ,
I don't understand ...
do you mean that you can air attack a port with a CV group ?
I didn't find it in the manual ( which is not surprising , there is nearly nothing interesting in this manual ), and didn't find the way to do in the game ....

Eric13, this was added in a recent patch so it would not be in the manual. Look at recent patch notes.

Look for the "extra" icon next to surface bombardment.

ok , now I understand !!
 
I'm playing 2 games :
 
one as allied player in 1.6 --> this possibility doesn't exist [:(]
one as axis player in 1.7 --> this new feature exists but , no CV in my OOB  [>:]  
 
a question is there a possibility to protect your ports with CAP fighters ? similarly than in normal air to air combats ?
