Aircraft ammo

Post by Chris21wen »

I'm not quite getting this. How much ammo can an airgroup carry? It seems to be dependant upon how long it can fly for Ie. the second little number. Am I correct?

Air units can stay in the air for a certain number of turns.
At some point you need to get back to the airfield/carrier to refuel. Note the red shading displaying where you should not move the unit. You will lose 1 strength point for each turn you stay in the air after fuel is zero.
You get a message if any air unit is not able to reach their field/carrier without losing at least 1 strength points.

If you lose a carrier or airfield your air units may be caught in the air with too little fuel to reach another field/carrier (without losing strength).

Ammo is infinite. If your in the air you can shoot and bomb every turn. The only exception is torpedo's, they will take a number of turns to reload. But they will reload in the air so you don't have to return to your carrier or airfield until you need to refuel.
