Mr.Dozer Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I have been wondering about something. How can i move/spot 4 yet hit 5? The logic is i go 4 spots to a target then takes 4 spots back. Why not in own country i fly 8 spots? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bromley Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 At a guess: 1. Moving. You're not "moving", you're "rebasing". So that takes time to set up and transport. I'm not so sure that in game terms the whole concept of "moving" your air units might be wrong - it may be really more of an operate move. Still, I suppose the theory is that you send people ahead to prepare a basic runway and them fly your planes there. 2. Spotting. Spotting range could never be longer than attack range, as it involves an element of flying around to do the spotting, whereas attacking is flying to a known point.

simov Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Also, are intercepting and escorting really useful? If you attack an army with a fighter, and an enemy fighter scrambles to intercept it, does the army have smaller change to take casualties? If I have 2 fighters and 1 bomber attacking a mine, and enemy has 2 fighters, doesn't it make more sense to strike the mine first with the fighters and then with a bomber with no escorts? Is the escort an 'attacker' against the interceptor, so that there is advantage because of a higher air attack value? Otherwise escorting would be quite expensive.
