They can fly in one airbase with runway damaged 98% and with service damaged 96%

[&o]
Is that normal?

float planes can

Not only
My opponent in a big game destroy Clark until 98 % runaway
96 % service

In the new turn Clark launch one attack with all the good planes

And i read ìthe some values [&o]

if the base has alot of engineers they can quickly repair the airfield for you.

only 20 enginiers
the base is out, but the planes flight [:-]
I test the case with the tutorial
in the battle of marinas I destroy Guam with ships, planes and almost i use 200 B29
The base are 98% damage and only have few enginers
But the planes still flight and change base form Guan after 3 turns
in 98% of damage[&o]

I can confirm that. Air ops still OK even with 99% AF damage, Service is 98% damaged.

Got a plane up from Saipan after 3 days pounding from BB's & CA's

Guess what...works for carriers as well. I've transferred air groups from CV to land (not in same hex) with 99 sys and 98 floatation. Don't know how the heck we launched them, but we did. Of note, the list of bases includes an (r) after the name.....same as rail transfers of air groups....could mean rail or simply denote all planes will be under repair after transfer.

agreed.

Good ole FG 24 has had the crap bombed out of it every turn and I still have p-40's flying out of the AB.

The 24th has been down to one plane at times and good ole Lt.Moore has 8 kills.He fearlessly goes up by himself to engage 25 zeros and horde of bombers.
