Unescorted bombers - 4/2/2021 6:07:56 AM

Status: offline 		Playing as the Axis and losing a lot of unescorted bombers.

I'm using AI assist and it seems to plot a lot of ground support and ground attack missions beyond the range of escort fighters.

Not sure how to handle this. Is it possible to manually change the air directive screen so that these missions only occur within fighter range while still using AI assist ? Or would it be necessary to switch off AI assist and do everything manually ?

I noticed the problem too, the AI seems to be too reckless with sending out unescorted bombers

It would be nice if one could define this when making the Air Directive. A fly GS only if escorted checkbox.

Agree. Also it would be nice to see before a battle how many and what kond of planes will be involved
