Bomber Mission-Naval Attck

[krb3]

A newbie question in regards to setting missions for bombers. I set a bomber group of six bombers to a mission of Naval Attack, however when a ship comes within striking distance they do not attack. Am I not toggling something so they will not attack? Explanation please.

Many things can scrub a mission - weather at your base, weather over the enemy, lack of aggressiveness in the bomber force commander, lack of escorts for a strike against an enemy with CAP, forgetting to set the range for the mission, target deemed not worthy of attack by the unit commander.

Best to take a screen picture or two and post those when you have this kind of issue so the forum members can scan for problem points.

Thx for the tips and next time will post screen shot.

You should check if the unit has a set percentage for Naval Search (10-20%)and flies normal range (at extended range they have lower chances of engaging the sips). Also, land-based air groups are more likely to attack ships within 4 hex radius from their base.
