Hi all
Playing an enjoyable campaign with a fierce soviet player
I'm on turn 8 and I'm being harassed by soviet bombers that get through my fighters defense without any interception. I thought it was an Air Doctrine issue and lowered it to 30 [while my percetnage to ply is average 50], but it doesn"t work, even if my fighters unit are in range and supplied correctly. Any tip or explanation ? Thanks.

There is currently an issue with reduced fighter interception during the opponent’s turn. Recommended to limit Soviet bombing until it’s fixed.

I didn’t realize this was the case.
I had started bombing German mech and had moved to bombing most of the front line because I saw the low interception values and assumed my opponent was restricting his interceptions to beef up ground support or otherwise preserve the Luftwaffe.

In doing so what I have noticed is that repeated bombings can really drag down supplies not just of the target, but those surrounding and on the path.
I assume the ammo re-supply routines are sapping supples from the unit, and thus leaving them ‘hungrier’ next turn.

This is really the first time in many, many games I’ve tried to also explore the air war. Usually just left it to ground support and interdiction and had my fun with the land battle, so I’m not sure if this is normal.
