Question about airstrikes

[John Given]

Quick update to the airstrike question.

a. The following turns, I had indeed turned my tanks to the NW, and the planes CONTINUED to strike from the north.

b. This could be a coincidence, but the next few airstrikes only got a few disruption and a "no effect" result.

Very interesting to say the least. All this seems to suggest that if tanks are facing the direction of incoming planes, the planes will have to deal with frontal armor of the vehicles. And yes, I realize the direction the planes swoop in from could just be a graphics issue, and have nothing to do with how hard they hit. I also realize there are different types of planes that conduct different types of strikes, and I also realize "dice rolls" are a factor as well. But one thing is for certain; the first few strikes striking the tank's rear armor got reductions, (one a "reduced by FOUR result), and the northernly-faced tanks only had disruptions and no effect results.

Hmm, now that I think about it, I'm more confused about the possible ramifications of this than I was before...:conf:

It'd be neat to hear some more blitz member opinions on this... :whis:
