Air Fields

Post by milesjb »

Is there a way to find air fields other than hunting all over the map for them ? I'm losing a/c because I can't find where to land them.

Most/all air fields should have a flag, wich is needed for deploying air units on the airfield.
But that is the only clue besides recognizing the airfield itself.

Please see the 'lil pic attached - the airfield is of course inside the yellow circle. It needs to have a flag, and the airstrips are visible.

As on the pics below terrain is also visible under FOW, so it should be possible to make out airfields by studying the map.

I hope this helps.

No, the AI gets the airfield capital offense, landing 3 Aircraft at the Airfield adjacent to your Panzer IV, BOOM!!! Instant air superiority. Seen it do that a few times, they need to tweak the AI to check an airfield for nearby enemy units before landing.

The scenario designer can script air units to use a specific airfield, preferably one way behind friendly lines.
