units in cities

Post by swivel84 »

Quick question. Maybe I've missed something in trying to find out, but when a unit is on a city hex, is there a way to use my air units to attack the unit in the city and not the city itself? For example: if I want to use my air units to attack fighters for the other side, but they are stationed in a city/town/industry hex, then it gives me the odds for attacking the city/town/industry when all I want is to attack the fighter unit stationed there. Whereas if the air unit is in the an open hex then I just attack the unit.
Hopefully I explained that well enough

I think you are using heavy bombers. Heavy bombers are different. They always target a resource if there is one there, even if there is an enemy unit in that hex. All other air units like tactical and medium bombers target the unit first, and only target a resource if there is no enemy unit in a resource hex.

I do wish there was a toggle for all bombers to choose the installation or the unit as the target. Medium German bombers could then bomb London, for example.
