"Squadron" size in Japanese/Axis side.

Post by Dili »

Can i give "Squadron" class size to an Axis Air Group? I need an unit with 18 aircrafts and there is none in Japanese Daitais etc. neither there are over 36 and i need 40 and 53 which will need a Wing.

Post edit: actually Hikotai gives to max of 48(how is it the split?) but not 53.

UNTIL Matrix fixes air combat in hard code, no unit ever should have more than 50 aircraft. 48 is also a historical value for many Hikotai. 53 forces you even an air combat with just one unit to not use a functional routine.

use the max a/c field in the editor , the air units have a default a/c max number(if you leave it blank-zero) but if you want a different size (number of a/c ) just put that number in the max field. you can create a squadron with 5 a/c or 50 a/c .
