a/c fuel

Post by Chris21wen »

Is this a bug.

Ny brave pilot had a coice return to refule or press home the attack and sink the carrier with only one strength left. Sink it they did but now they did not have enough fuel to get home or anywhere to land.

OK I expected the aircraft to fall out of the sky. Not a bit of it they carried on flying! Surely they should ditch etc.

They lose strength for each turn they're out of fuel. You should only operate them without fuel in extremis.

Something wrong then. Had strength 4 when it ran out took more took 3 turns aftere the attack to get home and had two strength when it arrived. should have been gone.

I don't think you lose a point on the 3rd turn because you landed.
