Effectivness for Air Units

[battlevonwar]

Does this matter? I rarely see anyone discuss it but I assume it would...they also don't use HQ bonuses at least it doesn't appear so

Effectiveness directly impacts how well the planes operate. Consider it how many air units are damaged, can't fly, need spare parts as the lacking percentage.

This post reminded me that I wanted to mention a tactic I use with air units.
At the beginning of the turn I put all planes except fighters on Mission Only mode. Then as I make attacks I decide if I want to use a plane in the attack, pick the plane I want to use and switch it to Full Support. I continue to switch non-fighters back and forth depending if I want to use it in the attack. At the end of the turn I turn all planes (except badly damaged ones) back to Full Support for the opponent's turn. Perhaps others use this strategy.
It would be nice to have a global "reset" command to switch all planes back to Mission Only at the beginning of the turn.

Do others use planes like this?
