REALLY seeing your airforce

Post by OberstVonWitz »

OF picture that shows say Luftwaffe 1/2/4 and all the AG and under it the respective airbases

This is for KNOWING what the heck you have at any particular airbase.

To truly see all the aircraft in the air base you must click the AIRBASE in the table above. Clicking air bases on the map is not representative of what is there ( unless only 1 type exists there). AG's on the map do more harm than good as they often overlap at any particular airbase and do not "cross reference". Thus total confusion will result.

By clicking the airbase on the table ( not the map) it manages this for you !! Thus, you will then see the the other air types that ALSO exist at that airbase. ie ALL.

This can be incredibly frustrating if you are depending on clicking the air base on the map and thinking :cry: what you see is all that is there.. It is especially problematical for *important/ larger* airbases where you fill with recon/ fighter/ bomber which otherwise would will be almost impossible to keep track of.

Table ----> Airbase NOT map ------> airbase... Save your sanity.

As you become proficient in this you can keep airbases running effectively and not have supply problems.

What do you mean by "table"? Are you talking about the city info. box or is there something in the Commanders Report??

When you "mouse over" an airfield you can see the entire plane count and type all at once. Due to the way this game is constructed (by AIR GROUP) this is the ONLY time you can see this. :? :roll: :roll:

When you pick an air GROUP (JG 51) only planes of that type will show.

Thus Riga

JG 51 36 Bf 109 ( nothing else)
KG 2 23 Ju 88A4 ( nothing else)
XY 21 sdf ( nothing else)
The frustration level is 110%


I'm quitting this game after my present game as its too much to cope with this nonscience.

You should stop raging and try to formulate serious questions/sentences in proper english, so people could actually help you. If your main language isn't english, maybe try your own language (don't know if that's allowed in this Forum) and maybe there is someone who can help (trough google translate).

This games UI isn't perfect but that's normal for a game of this scale. You just have to get into it and maybe it's just one Key-shortcut which could bring you more comfort, but you have to find/use it.

This may help,...or using the Commanders Report (C) as already mentioned.
