AS Aircraft

[solops]

Has anyone ever seen the Artifical Stupid ever use aircraft?

[WiZz]

I haven't.

[mattpilot]

nope, but sure have a lot of flak for some reason

Yes. In game 76 vs an extreme difficulty nemesis they fielded a couple squadrons of some kind of light bomber against my tank force. I started to loose tanks, but the bombers just dissapeared and havent been heard from since. They sure do have level 1 airbases everywhere, so it's possible they ran out of level 2's to base them in, or they may have been encircled and overran.

Edit: I only ever shot down a few. Far less than what I would see flying. I certainly did and continue to encircle and destroy some but i havent seen a single mission in a while.

The AI ignores the rule about minimum Airbase levels - a level 1 fits all. This was done because the AI would have no chance to use airforces otherwise.

On top of them being overrun, they might also have been shot down. All MG's have limited AA ability.
