hi

in a recent pbm i send a P38 with delay 0.2 to attack a jagdtiger

the path i set was flying from my side and then leave the battlefield in north-east.

i also set 2 81mm with delay 0.1 to supress a m�belwagen FLAK near the tank i want to attack.

what happened ? not my 81mm shoot first, but the plane comes in from the wrong direction. i still got a kill, but the my plan was otherwise.

i have not much experience with planes so how is the trick to time their attack with arty and get the flight path i want.

this is H2H fr 7.1

I don't know if this works differently in H2H but, make sure that you set the path for your planes BEFORE you assign them their mission; if you do the contrary, they'll retain the previously set path.

Also the order in which you purchase artillery and air strikes will determine the order in which they will appear.

I generally purchase artillery first with the largest calibers higher on the Oob list. Then I purchase air. Then, during the barrage phase of the turn, the biggest artillery comes in first, followed by the smaller calibers, and finally by the airstrikes. Incidentally, I try to do the same as you described - suppress AAA capability before sending in the air. :)
