On board aircraft

[Jim von Krieg]

I'm testing a scenario and it has some on-board aircraft that flies around and has a lot of bombs... It is the first time I've actually had an airplane that flies around...

Is this a one shot weapon or does it act like artillery and re-load?

Regards,

Jim

Read the manual Herr Krieg... LOL...

It is covered there... one shot weapon and is expected to withdraw after usage per the rule book... you done wasted them... next one should be used at the point of impact for a major attack and not as an experiment to see what the damn things actually does...

Next time, read the manual...

DUH!!!! You think!

Jim - talking to yourself again?

Initially, I thought you might be referencing spotter planes... But the lots of bombs statement was more in line with how “regular” aircraft work in CS. Glad you referenced the user manual for details on aircraft use.

Good morning Kool Kat... (it is morning here...)

Yes, it would be nice to have spotters in this game I'm testing... What I was referencing were on-board B26's which I flew around then wasted as I was curious as to just what this new unit did...

In another scenario I'm playing, I had a Storch and two airfields of Stukas...

the Storch had a brief career as I experimented with it... bumping bad guys... and then realizing I could strafe... some AT guns laying in wait vaporized... Alas, right after that it was shot down by a mortar... WAH!!!!

1) It shouldn't have done anything to the AT guns...
2) It shouldn't have fallen victim to a direct fire mortar attack...

Just sayin....

Additionally, the Stukas are just plain wickedly fun... Like having flying artillery... works the same way as arty with no actual "plane" involved... You plot it... it bombs like an artillery mission on a hex... even units in bunkers are not immune to a disrupt from them...
