Bomber aircraft unvavailable or out of range

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

Bomber aircraft unvavailable or out of range

Post by boudi »

Since several turns i can't use my air force for bombing german units.

I tried everything, checking everythings, i allways have this error message.

I try to launch a bombing mission at the opening at the turn,
Planes flyed 0%,
it's Pe2 bombers with a radius 23, they are at 5 hex from there target,
They are 100% supplied,
They are on a clear hex,

I tried with IL2, on a other target,
Planes flyed 0% (opening of the turn),
supplied 100%, clear hex, target at 4 hex.

Air doctrine :

Percent requierd to fly : 50
ground attack : 40
ground attack escort : 30

Please, please, where i'm wrong ?

Thanks

I tried now to change the ground attack and groud escort to 85 : no result.

This part of the game is incognizable. [&:]

have you selected ground bombing - not airfield bombing?
have you selected an airbase or left that to the AI?
ORIGINAL: boudi
They are 100% supplied,
Have you checked both fuel AND ammo on the base

Percent requierd to fly : 50
How many ready aircraft do your airgroups have and how many maximum can it have - are any of them not 50%?

Smart russian pilots not to risk their lives against my fighters :)

But seriously, I indeed saw a lack of russian air attacks in the last turns...

Hope you get it sorted.

Thanks for your replies.

Hi Sanders ! I read that you noticed the problem too. But i'm sur that with the forum help, my bombers will come back soon !

-> M60A3TTS : i will take some screenshots the next turn if the problem is not fixed.

->Telemecus :

have you selected ground bombing - not airfield bombing? Yes, sure.
have you selected an airbase or left that to the AI? Both.
Have you checked both fuel AND ammo on the base : Yes.
How many ready aircraft do your airgroups have and how many maximum can it have - are any of them not 50%? I've not checked this point. But in an air base there are around 10 air groups, it's seems impossible that all of the ten are under 50% ? I will check this point the next turn.

Many thanks for your helps.

I have tended to set percent required to fly to like 20. If they have planes that will fly, let them do their jobs...
