Naval Air Units

Post by potski »

In the Tutorial Scenario (and likely the others, though I didn't check them), the Air HQ is correctly shown in Barcelona (though I think it should probably be in the airbase hex) as "naval". It's name is Aeronautica Naval, the naval air force, separate from the Aeronautica Militar, the army air force. It has a yellow anchor on its hex bar icon and it is described in the window as "Republican Navy" from the faction set in the Scenarion files.

However, the starting air groups , such as 2a Patrulla/1a Esc. are shown with the Army Air Force badge and when you go to the Land-based aircraft window and select Show Navy units none are shown, they all appear under Show Army units.

In addition, the airframes in the groups, the CASA SM.62 bis, Macchi M.18, CASA-V.Vildebeest H and Do-J Wal are all shown as either Army Patrol or Army Floatplane, when they were all model/variants used only by the Naval air force.

I am not an expert on the air situation but I think that the Army has all land based aircraft and the Navy has all of the ship based aircraft, at least in the game.
Seek peace but keep your gun handy.

I'm not a complete idiot, some parts are missing! :o
