2.8.9.4 Air to Air Result Bug

[rkr1958]

1. This may be a cosmetic bug, I'm not sure so I'll leave to you WiF experts to decide.

2. Air to air form shows +1 axis, -1 allies. German fighter has air-to-air of 6 and USSR fighter has air-to-air 5.

3. Both sides roll a 14.

4. The axis roll of 14 is treated as a no effect. Shouldn't it have produced a DA (or defender abort result)?

5. I also check this in 2.7.0 and got the same result.

6. The allied roll of 14 seems to have produced the right result.

7. My question is the +1 axis, -1 allies what's incorrect? I ask this since the German fighter is a twin engine fighter.

8. And is the final result of the air to air correct?

Twin engine (well, the orange colored) figthers produce "one result less", meaning that the result they rolled is scaled down 1 step.
So an 'AX' result becomes 'DX', 'DX'->'AA', etc.).

At +1/-1 if both sides roll '14' (DA), the twin engine roll is reduced to '-'.

Thanks! It was just my understanding of how the result was applied that was flawed. [;)]

Yw [:)].
Before I forget: twin engined fighters are only fighting this less effective against normal fighters.

And then only if they are orange.
Mosquito's and P-38's for example are twin engined but they do not suffer this.
To keep it simple: only orange print fighters versus white print suffer a step-reduction.

As the allies I really like to use those against the long range Axis ftr in the med, which are all orange (well, pre '43 anyway). Even the RN CVP are safer against those orange Axis ftr...

Minor nitpick: orange circled versus non-orange circled FTRs gets next worst. The Russki FTR was a night FTR so it was black circled.
