RE: Air power.........
I think airpower in CS was basically OK, in that it was offboard, came on task or didn't turn up not as ordered, didnt always attack its designated target, and sometimes gave a Blue on Blue attack. This randomness was actually quite a reasonable SIMULATION of how it was, needing IMO only some detail cleanup. I thought there were some weaknesses in the aircraft lists..eg P40s were hardly used in Northern Europe.
IMO, AA fire was too effective by a factor of 2 or 3. But all in all not too bad. Fortunately these arrangements still there.
What are the new additions?..."aircraft" that stay at their airfield, never get airborne, but can drop bombs 20 or so hexes away (Not sure how they manage that). A V1.03 special that is so pathetic it laughs at the rest of the game.
CS is a SIMULATION. By definition, therefore, anything that does not SIMULATE to a reasonable degree, such as these joke bombers, has no place here.
