AdamPraha Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Hi I can never use any of my air support! Do I understand that correctly? That I can destroy flak with explosives? Only then will I be able to use the planes? Edited May 15, 2021 by AdamPraha 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFF Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Air support acts independently in Red Thunder - you have no control over when and where it will show up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand from what has been written in other threads that only the Soviet air support behave on their own, or when the scenario designer has decided that they should arrive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckdyke Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 In RT artillery apart from mortars and light field-guns are subject to set piece protocols. The same with their air force not even their regimental FO can call off an air attack. Personally, I think it is a little over the top. If friendly casualties is acquired by their air force, shooting a prearranged flare should be possible. Artillery should be looked at in future modules. For the Brits, a rolling barrage could already be plotted in 1917 to give an example. The air force is treated by the Western Allies as flying artillery, in Normandy strategic bombers often got it wrong. To correct myself I see only fighter bombers in the scenarios. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamPraha Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 I crawl well across the map. I take partisans with me ... what? Are they drunk? Do they shoot without permission? How to ban fire completely? Just sneaking? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E5K Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 In RT I dont bother with air support. I have been attacked by my own planes to many times. The last time I used it my own planes attacked me 4 times. Never did attack the enemy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree this is a very realistic simulator. But I think there a little off with air power in RT. If you get to close to your own air or artillery strike the game will punish you. And im all for that. Friendly fire is a fact of war. To each his own. In RT Ill get by with out it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
