Plea to make Air to Air be like Bombing Thr Reich

Post by tiger111 »

Just an idea.

During the execution of the Air phase show onscreen any Air to Air combats that take place.(inc fighter v recon) as in the previous (great) game Bombing The Reich.

I don`t see how this would change the Air model only the way results are presented.

It would much enhance the players feel of what is happening -(at the moments the air war results are buried behind menus or pass so quickly)

Anyway just a thought. Anything that brings the combat more to life has to be a good thing.

What do you think ???? P.S. could always make it optional....

They already do. Just increase the info...hit 9 and watch every sortie. Enjoy.

Or minimize recon/nav patrol info (for eg message levels 2-3) to "recon/sup level gains"
“Aim towards enemy“.

What is the best favourite setting for combat results. Is there one that best shows air to air combat? Thanks

My favourite setting is 0. I go make tea while my boys go bomb the Hun.

Same here although I make coffee! [:D] Which is a shame because it would be quite fun and interesting to watch the actual bombings. But the Nav + Recon ruins it. I asked for something like this a while back and Helpless said he would look into it. Havn´t heard anything about it since.

You should be able to switch some of ADs exec details off.
