robert4260 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Sorry don't know if this has been discussed. Whle playing a AI Axis I was given a Canadian bomber group. I could not get the fleet out of Canada. I tried operating no luck. Wouldn' fly out. Could it be the weather? Anyway it was just useless. If some one knows how to get this group moving to europe please let me know. Thank you Bob R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzerkeil Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 How exactly do you use them to "spot" subs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Panzer Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Bombers have a spotting range of 5 so any U-boat operating within 5 squares of the Bomber (you did put it in St. John's, right?) will be spotted and can be attacked right away. While not perfect, it does cover a long stretch of the Canada-UK and USA-UK covoy routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzerkeil Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Thanks, CP. That's what I thought, but wasn't sure about. Of course, an intelligent Axis player will not approach within visual range, which helps to narrow down the search area when hunting for marauding U-boats.

John DiFool the 2nd Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Plus you can cover that "air gap" with long-range air tech, which as it turns out is exactly what the Allies did. I do wish we had "maritime bombers", which would eliminate the kludge of non-operational- moving bombers, and give the Allies the choice of building them...
