Naval Air Patrol

Post by BK6583 »

This part of the game is driving me nuts. Playing Italy 43-45. Tried moving a ground unit from Bone to Gela. Took losses because the sea area there is neutral. Ok - into the posts I go. I've read and reread the Harrybanana's posts where he manually sets naval patrols and manually pick aircraft to form nice neat sea control paths from Tunis to the Italian mainland and points in between. I simply can't duplicate this. On top of that, three of my NP ADs are blinking and I can't determine why. I really need help here - can anyone provide some specific advice on how to manually set up and manually select aircraft to achieve this sea control?

That's just it - the info screens did not tell me the why - just that AC committed was 0 (when I thought I'd committed a Beaufighter (which I set to 'DN)).

Honest - what you have highlighted in red does NOT show up when I get that screen. When I combine this some weird behavior by the 1st Fallschirmjager division I'm wondering if I have a buggy game.

Since you provide no information what shows up, I can only guess what could be wrong. With very high probability problem is outside the game code.
