Weird Bug - Plane de-entrenchment doesn't work in singleplayer

Post by MisterMuffles »

It's been a while since I played these games, but I came back to play a relaxed singleplayer game and I noticed that for some odd reason my aircraft are not inflicting de-entrenchment on enemy units.

Here is an image of my bomber's unit stats, showing it has de-entrenchment

I've noticed that this has applied to all of my planes, at least for the past turn. I'm not sure if it's been persisting the whole campaign or not.
Aircraft still do morale/readiness and strength damage as normal.

Hopefully this is useful.

Probably not a bug, but likely due to a recent patch change. Air units that bomb a unit in fog/rain, snow or sandstorm conditions can no longer de-entrench any units they attack and it does look like a winter wonderland is occurring in your screenshots.

I concur with Bo Rearguard regarding the weather. Also in my experience generally, Tactical Bombers do not de-entrench while Medium Bombers do. I therefore wonder if the [1] for de-entrenchment in Properties is perhaps an update oversight.

Just to add a clarification, Tac Bombers don't de-entrench by default, but will once upgraded to Level 2, which is from the looks of it properly displayed in that Properties screen
