Status: offline 		My air support is fine, the morale is high, the fatigue is non-existant but my level bombers at Cooktown won't attack a Japanese bobmardment TF just south of GG ready to run in on PM (they also don't fly when the TF is on the way out).

The only think I can see is that the base support is a little low. My base support requirements are 339 and I have 327. Is it an all or nothing kind of thing or is it proportional? And does it affect whether my aircraft make offensive flights?

Sonny: At times I have had low base support, and yet a few planes will still fly.

I, too, have found planes attacking these Bombardemt TFs, to be an "on again, off again" exercise.

Why my air units will or will not attack Bombardment TFs, is still a mystery to me.

To help stop those Bombardment TFs, I usually fill the targetted base with copious numbers of PT boats. . . ;)

Don't have PT boats yet. And my opponents never seem to have this problem.:mad:

[/B][/QUOTE]That's quite a long haul from Cooktown to the Gili Gili area. I find that level bombers are less likely to attack a naval target the further away it is. You really can't rely on them to stop bombardment runs......

They didn't have trouble attacking transports at GG earlier in the game.:)

Status: offline 		Have a few of the bombers on "Naval Search" at each base. i usually set 20% of all of my bomber squadrens on Naval Search. Although you might see the bombardment TF on the screen, you could be getting the information from other sources which aren't available at the right time to your bomber squadrens. Also, as your bombers build experience they will occasionally drop the odd bomb while on patrol, which is a nice "bonus".

Sonny,

Page 110 (section 18.5) of the UV Manual says "a base never requires more than 250 aviation support" so 327 is more than enough and shouldn't affect flight operations. I think the other posted replies cover the other factors.

I have all the aviation support I need - it is base support which is a little short.:)

I'll see if any of my guys are on naval search. That may be it.:)
