Serious issue/bug with protecting bombers in your invaded HEX (base)...

Hi all,

Unfortunately this is a big issue/bug (nothing works)... :-(


There is no way to have air support for your bombarding aircraft
that come from other HEX into your invaded HEX.

The fighters in invaded HEX would never ever escort your
incoming bombers no matter what you do:

Sweep
LRCAP
Escort and CAP > 0%
Escort and CAP = 0%


Example:

The biggest problem for allies is Port Moresby invasion.

If you have fighters in Port Moresby and bombers in Australia
there is no way you can protect your incoming bombers that
attempt to bomb enemy ships/troops.

:-(((


Does anyone have any other idea for possible workaround?

I always use fighters at the same base as the bombers are flying from to provide escort. That seems to work for me. Of course, I don’t think your fighters can reach Port Moresby from Australia so that may not be an option for you in this case.
Are fighters from another base even supposed to be able to escort bombers ?
