cpt.walker Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 How do I do this? The manual talks about it, but I can't find where it says how to do it. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we are not dealing with a time of tight integration between ground and air forces, the presence of CAS units in game represents planes in the area hunting for targets of opprotunity. THey attack when and where they want... THey are a two edged sword. THey can completely destroy an enemy and make your work little more than mopping up... or they might just mis-ID YOU and drop on your positions (I guess everyone looks like ants to them). Then again, they might not show up at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpt.walker Posted April 9, 2002 Author Share Posted April 9, 2002 Ya, but how do I call in an air strike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 You don't. When you purchase your troops (and you have to do it, not the AI) you purchase a Fighter/bomber. Then, as stated earlier, it shows up when it wants to...if it's a clear day. Basically, you pays your money and you takes your chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 If you purchased a fighter-bomber or if one was assigned to you by the scenario designer it will just show up when it wants to. First you will hear the sound of an aircraft engine and then on the next turn the plane will attack. On the first attack turn it will drop its underwing ordnance, either bombs or rockets, and on subsequent attack runs it will fire its machine guns. If the enemy has any anti-aircraft guns they will fire at the airplane, making it easier for you to know when it is attacking. You will never see the plane itself, just its shadow as it passes over the battlefield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
