1.06 Air Question

[vicberg]

Just upgraded. I have 5 airbases (AGN) 2 hexes from the hex I wish to ground attack. 146 fighters are in one of the HQs at 1% usage. I click on a staging airbase and right click to ground attack and NO fighter squadrons are coming up. What's going on?

Ground attack must be first mission, i.e. 0% usage. Moving an AB will add miles flown and make the AG(s) ineligible. See 16.3.1.

dont bother with airwar ,dont know how they will handle it in WiTW but in WitE its something totally not dependable nor usable
in most of my games the germans only loose planes when they attack ,if you attack with 400 planes and they defend with 30 ,you can be lucky if the german player  lost 1 plane,and it prob was a guy with malfunction,alot of times it
will be zero or when i try to bomb the german spearheads like 5 times with 200  planes well dont think any AFV will be hit ,your bombers well that super flak :p does its job...this is no critisism towards the game because i dont think theres a better way to simulate it ,i do think the soviet pilots were a bit better for real then in the game :p
i played several games now and in 45 the germans still seem to have an airforce almost as good as in 41 and as big aswell almost ,so most of the times i leave all switches on airforce like they are  and forget about it for the rest of the war

if you use the bombers to bomb on the first turn concentrate on hq's units. you can kill AFV but more importantly artillery. use both day and night bombing.
