Using Soviet Air units - 2/5/2017 2:57:59 PM

I'm playing the Sov for my first campaign but I still can't really figure out how to use soviet air force offensively. When I want to bomb a unit only IL4 and heavies appear ; is it because I've moved a russian unit before, preventing me for using the rest of my air units ?
Another question : how do I have to attach my air bases to my armies in order to use them ? Thanks.

If you move an airbase with the airgroup in it, or if the airgroup performs any other mission so that its flown miles is not zero, it cannot do the bomb ground unit mission. It can still do some other missions such as ground support.

For ground support missions the air unit must be in the same front as the ground unit. Airbases can only attach directly to air HQs, which in turn can attach to fronts/MDs, Stavka, or even other air commands. For all other missions, such as bomb unit, where the airbase is attached to makes no difference.

Known reasons for aircraft not flying are lack of fuel or ammo, travelled too far already...

It certainly does for me, and says so in the manual. Perhaps that has changed in newer versions?
