Help with Air Support

[Fuser]

I am currently designing a scenario in which I would like to include some air support in the form of P-47s. The problem is that even if I modify the ammo quantity to scarce, the bombing and strafing of the planes is unbalancing the battle as they are terrific for the Axis. One pass after another they don´t seem to be low on ammo and destroy all the armor with ease, no Flak opposition (no 20mm AAs, no FlakPanzers,...don´t want to use the 88s as this would unbalance the battle to the Axis side). So, how could I limit the presence of Allied fighter bombers to say, one bombing run and a strafing pass?

Just to check are you selecting strafe, light or heavy ?

Just P-51D Light. But all Air Support missions seem to be hardcoded. Ammo selection in the editor doesn´t affect the mission. Allied Fighter bombers with Veteran Observers are really able to destroy a whole Company and a Panther or two,...

Fuser hi

I've run some test and can confirm this, and have reported it. In the meantime if you don't want air support to be too effective drop the quality of the Observer.

I too think air support mission should make fewer over flight when low ammo. I tried this with P-47 in my scenario "Gourbesville". I lowered the ammo to minimum, but always plane made 3-5 very deadly strafes. Bombs seems to be fine with low ammo, but strafing is deadly even when plane have "very low ammo".
