Air Mission not flying

[MechFO]

Places I use for the fight down in Sicily I do, but when that is lost and I move my units north I normally don't bother since they aren't doing much up there.

So you should change the air bases from Italian to Luftwaffe when you move them.

there is ~20percent penalty on maintenance when you have airgroups on an air base of a different HQ.

[MechFO]

The maintenance penalty is irrelevant if I just want to park them and I spread them out so as too avoid presenting too much of a tempting target. Either way, a solution which boils down to changing every single airbase is Italy by hand to a different HQ IMO can't be WAD.

so why don't you fly them to Germany?

you might have to scroll the map though.

So that makes Italian bases flip to LW control with useful settings? Excellent. Might want to document that "feature" though.

No

It seems clear that what you want to happen is Italian airbases to change to German ones and keep the same settings when Italy surrenders. It doesn't happen that way. Maybe there will be a change the future.

Your options are to change the airbases to German before Italy surrenders, or change them after. You should change them when you put airgroups on them but that might require you to click some stuff.
