G'day,

How do we get the air units attached to PVO airbases attached to IAK HQ to fly? I have been playing multiple (both PvP and AI) games and cannot get the fighter units attached to the IAK HQ to fly at all?

If you find out, please let me know. I have gotten to where I disband the PVO airbases because they never seem to fly . . .

Bump,

And
- if they can enable aicraft to fly (they by nomenclature, ought to be interception missions right ?) - how do we do this
- if not, a bit of a loss to the game, not be be able to use such air defence capability?

What is an IAK HQ? I assign PVOs to air front commands and they fly fine as long as there is activity near the front.

heya M60A,

IAK = 6 and 7 IAK are the Moscow and Leningrad city Air Defence Air command HQ. In GGWitE, they are Air Comd HQ.

I have left these HQ attached to the Leningrad Front and Moscow MD respectively. I have filled the subordinate PVO aoirbases with both tactical bombers and fighters. I have not been able to get these to fly, either by deliberate ground attack missions, nor for any automatic (air) combat.

Any ideas ?

Don

Awful leaders' ratings?

Heya Gov,

Not due to leader ratings, I checked. All my Sov Air Leaders are at least 4 Air rating - and the other (front Air Comd HQ leaders) make their digital aircraft fly OK.

OK. The deal is that historically, those commands were meant to coordinate the air defense of Leningrad and Moscow. In the game, no Axis players bomb the cities because there is no value in it. For that reason the IAK commands really need to be disbanded for the manpower. Then reassign the PVO bases to a regular frontal air command and they will be fine.

You should also understand that as a general rule, air commands only send aircraft out to engage the enemy when there are battles involving units of that front. So putting the PVO bases under air commands that will support active fronts in combat is the best way to get these bases to work for you.

M60,

We're on the same page entirely - I know I can re-assign the PVO Airbases and disband the IAK - but I was hoping the dev's could explain if there is a way to use these? I would like to be able to use them in some historic way, aside from disbanding them for resources and manpower?
