Since several turns i can't use my air force for bombing german units.

I tried everything, checking everythings, i allways have this error message.

I try to launch a bombing mission at the opening at the turn,
Planes flyed 0%,
it's Pe2 bombers with a radius 23, they are at 5 hex from there target,
They are 100% supplied,
They are on a clear hex,

I tried with IL2, on a other target,
Planes flyed 0% (opening of the turn),
supplied 100%, clear hex, target at 4 hex.

Air doctrine :

Percent requierd to fly : 50
ground attack : 40
ground attack escort : 30

Please, please, where i'm wrong ?

Thanks

I tried now to change the ground attack and groud escort to 85 : no result.

This part of the game is incognizable. [&:]

Can you do a screenshot?

have you selected ground bombing - not airfield bombing?
have you selected an airbase or left that to the AI?

They are 100% supplied,

Have you checked both fuel AND ammo on the base

How many ready aircraft do your airgroups have and how many maximum can it have - are any of them not 50%?

Smart russian pilots not to risk their lives against my fighters

But seriously, I indeed saw a lack of russian air attacks in the last turns...

Hope you get it sorted.

Thanks for your replies.

Hi Sanders ! I read that you noticed the problem too. But i'm sur that with the forum help, my bombers will come back soon !

-> M60A3TTS : i will take some screenshots the next turn if the problem is not fixed.

->Telemecus :

have you selected ground bombing - not airfield bombing? Yes, sure.
have you selected an airbase or left that to the AI? Both.
Have you checked both fuel AND ammo on the base : Yes.
How many ready aircraft do your airgroups have and how many maximum can it have - are any of them not 50%? I've not checked this point. But in an air base there are around 10 air groups, it's seems impossible that all of the ten are under 50% ? I will check this point the next turn.

Many thanks for your helps.

The air power is back ! Thank you all.

I have tended to set percent required to fly to like 20. If they have planes that will fly, let them do their jobs...
