I'm reentering TOAW world after two years and I can't remember nor find how to command an airfield attack (as opposed to a normal bombardment).

Thanks in advance and congrats for the new patch. Looks very good !

I right click on the airfield and there is no pop up to choose.

EDIT: I did a test and found out that indeed it works when there's an enemy plane on the field.

Can the popup be used as a recon tool to find unseen air units?

Does anybody have a idea why ? In any case I will try to reinstall.

You don't even need the popup. Select a bomber, move the cursor over an enemy airfield. If the bombardment path appears, the field has air units in it. Of course, you don't know what types and how many are there, as you would if the hex was observed. Sort of a third level of recon, below "spotted" and "observed".

And note that this can only occur if the Theater Recon level is 0%. A setting of 1% or higher reveals all enemy air units.

Having all airfields 'revealed' has always been something I've not understood. Really bizarre. I guess that makes the recon by airfield attack minor.
