How do adjust air raid waypoints?

Post by tiger111 »

After I`ve set up an air mission - bombing- how do I change the waypoints so as to evade as much flack as poss?.

I`ve forgotten how much I hate playing as Allies. The air model is truly awfull. I hope WITE2 air model is far more user friendly.

The goddamned dreadfull manual does not help in playing the game at and we are given the one page guides as a brief guide. I really feel sorry to new players to this game, knowing WITE beforehand helped a lot

A plea :- Please do a far more informative manual for WITE2 - not just a description of menu headings which we get we get in WITW.

Sorry rant over :)

Tiger,

1. Select the specific Air Directive
2. Find the four waypoints and specifically the one you want to move
3. LEFT-click on the waypoint so it turns red
4. Wait a second, then move the mouse cursor to the desired hex for the waypoint, then LEFT-click again

I emphasized LEFT above because most things in WitW are a RIGHT click, but a few are LEFT clicks.

Happy to help.

It may be a function of how many AD's you have, but I've found that sometimes when I left-click on a waypoint, it doesn't highlight to red as fast as I expect, so I when I click somewhere else, nothing happens.
