How to bomb bridges?

Post by zdcws »

Can someone teach me how to air strike bridges? I tried to select an air unit and right-click the bridge but failed to set up a battle plan in the end.

Maybe, make sure the bridge is within range of the selected air unit. Hit 'I' or 'i' on the keyboard to show range circles for a visual aid.

Okay, I found that I CAN bomb bridge (get the bridge attack menu with a possibility) on my laptop, but I CANNOT do that on my PC. Does anyone have any insights on this?

Never heard of that before . . . learned something new today. Wonder what other malfunctions this might cure?

This is caused by having the "Menu Show Delay" set to something other than 1.

Perhaps TOAW IV should have a possible values range for "Menu Show Delay" be only those values that are "visible" instead of a range that could tend to display it not.
