How can we stop enemy supply air transport???

I don't think that you can "sweep" your base that you are originating from. Sweep would be considered an offensive mission, and I don't think that it would even fly if targeted at a friendly base. Reccomend that you find some longer legged fighters, base them at Chandpur with the C47's and fly the sweep mission from there and see if that has any success.

Playing on hard, aren't you? AI doesn't need supplies on hard.

Yeah playing on hard! What a sh.., I thought this would be at very hard. If I have known that I wouldn´t have played on hard. That´s too unrealistic for me. So why should I then go after enemy cargo-TFs? Just to get some VP?

AI *does* need supplies on Hard. Don't know where you got that from.

It's a little lax on fuel requirements, not supplies

I keep messing up hard and very hard, sorry.

I had Japs cut off in Burma for 8 months. Japs were able to fly bombing missions from Mandalay all that time. I’ve switched to Jap side and checked their supply level, it was 0 for the base, ground troops had around 30-50% of required supply. So I was checking them from time to time and ground troops didn’t incur any losses from starvation.

May be I am wrong with this but on hard AI acts like it doesn’t need any supplies at all.

This is what doesn't make a lick of sense. Why should the HQ at my forward airbase call back to a rear area airbase for Sweep protection. When there are fighter assets already there. I fail to understand the reason for this.

I take that back. This was designed that way to keep fighters from gaining experience flying offensive sweep missions over their own base. I know this is the answer.

LRCAP will rip apart supply transports. There will be no animation when they do, but if you watch the messages down in the corner you will see them occur.

I just wish that you could send escorts with them.
