NorthStar -> Aircraft "Turning Back" (1/7/2003 9:34:38 AM)
|
I'm playing "The Begining Ends" as the US vs. Japanese AI. I started the game under 1.4, und upgraded all the way to 2.20.
I just completed a large scale CV vs. CV fight (ther was no carrier battle until early August, so both sides had pretty much every carrier they get). I noticed something that struck me as odd.
In a lot of combats, after a successful attack, the message "Elements of XXX Turning Back". No problem, the pilots were awfly tired and depressed by then, and didn't feel like getting shot at anymore. When I saw this message applied to bomber squadrons, the number of aircraft listed in the Combat Animation decreased immediately by some amount (anywhere from 2 to 9). Again fine, they turn back, they leave the fight.
However, I did see the message applied to fighters as well. But with fighters, there was no decrease in the number shown in the Animation, which implies that "turning back" does not cause fighters to actually disengage.
Has anyone seen this before, and know if this is intentional or not?
