Yeah thats right Phil. Dident think of the balancing change. Higher level air crews migh in turn be to accurate hitting the enemy. A delicate balancing act.
My best memory from CM and air support must be a CMBB battle (George MC, Panzer Count, 1941), with a huge map and the air roaming and attacking at will. Not very accurate but with the ability to change a dier situation. Get to close to the enemy and the blue on blue gets very likely.
