Biplanes returning home problem

[Boris Balaban]

I have noticed that when you fly your biplane to the max that it does not land that turn but lands the next turn (only biplanes)

Any way to micro manage the max movement distance?

Also can destroyers be ordered to escort other ships?:confused:

Can fighters also run escorts to there max flight distance then fly to base?:confused:

Oh. Strange. I haven't seen that before.

Only by putting them into a group.

When you say 'run escorts' do you mean escorts of bombers or something else - like ships? You can group air-units together, but fighters will not automatically break from the group and return home when they reach their maximum distance. (But, the group's maximum distance is affected by the range of the lowest-ranged air unit in the group.)

Brit I sent you a bug report on the Biplane.

Destroyers escorting, in Empire Deluxe you set escorts to run outside (a formation( in front or sides)) a extra sighting before other ships get to your transports. A wish list.

As you give the transport new orders the escort follows.

I guess with fighter escort just run the same path to the extent of your range.

You're right. I tweaked the biplane stats in the last update, and it had a movement range of 425, but a movement rate of 400 - meaning that it would sometimes not finish moving within the span of one turn. Fixed in the next update.
