Panzer Corps 2 and Aircraft Supply

[matthew2582]

In PC1 - managing supply for aircraft by returning to base at the critical time is a major issue - but looking at YTs of PC2, aircraft seem to fly back to base after every sortie - is that right?

Yes, it PzC2 each aircraft acts within a certain range from its base and returns to base every turn. You can rebase it to a different airfield in order to cover a different zone of the map.

Ok thanks for the fast reply - I am surprised by that - because managing aircraft fuel was/is so important in PC1 - suddenly losing your aircraft in PC1 because you didn't pay close enough attention to their fuel level really could impact your campaign

On a larger topic - is their any emphasis on managing supply logistics in PC2? - Order of Battle has a fairly basic but still important supply system, Unity of Command 2 is a very deep and critical supply system - so I am curious if logistics has been at all ramped up in PC2

Ok thanks for posting that link - I was not following PC2 at that time but I am now as I am ordering it on Pre-Order Day
