Small request for CHS (transport planes)..and a question

Post by Sardaukar »

I have noticed that transport planes get massive ops losses in game (1.6)..and they seem to kill pilots faster than bombers attacking defended targets...[:(]
So, would it be possible to increase the durability of transport planes ? And does the increase in durability actually reduce ops losses or is it combat only ? [&:]

Why not leave transport planes as is and reduce the durability of bombers and fighters to increase the ops losses to them as well. OP losses are under reflected. Of course modding DUR values would necessitate mods to other values as well.

I know that ops losses are way too low compared to real war. But it was design decision (at least I think Mike Wood said so). Just that I think that transport planes seem to get the worst of it, relatively to bombers. I think it's mission-type, actually. Assigning bombers to transport-duty will murder them too, compared to bombing missions.
