Any chance they are looking into this crazy interception (behind enemy lines) of transport missions still going on :?:

To make this even more comical is that there are 60 fighters based at the target hex that cannot intercept at a range of 0 hexes, while the enemy AI is intercepting at a range of 13 hexes. :roll:

Yeah, I've never understood why escorts have to meet the bombers/transports at a hex a hundred+ miles from the front instead of meeting them closer to possible intercept. Probably a limitation of the game engine.

I seem to recall changes were made to allow the escorts of transports to meet the transports on the way to the target, but I may be wrong about that. We liberalized something like that within the past 6 months.
