RE: Unit Problems
Joe..re the airfield bombers...totally agree with you.
The greatest problem with air elements in CS is that the "game board" is NOT 3-dimensional. It is a map sheet with bumps for hills and valleys. Air warfare is of course 3D. This is exemplified in that an on-map aircraft cannot overfly a hex containing enemy elements.
That said, I believe there is scope in CS for development of air aspects. But we need to be very cognisant of the nature of air war and the great limitations imposed by the game system and its essentially "2D with lumps" character. Ingenuity and imagination have greatly enhanced our game. But if carried to the extent that realistic depiction is lost, IMO we lose the plot.
