LarryP -> Air Modes: Support vs Mission? (12/25/2020 7:22:57 PM)

In game help for Air says this:

Modes
Full Support - Air units escort, intercept, and ground support on the enemy turn.
Mission Only - Air units will only fly as directed by the player on the player's turn but not on the enemy's turn.

So I do an attack with infantry and tanks, with all close by air units set to Full Support (chevron arrow shows on icon). After the attack, I open the Combat Report and my air units participated fully.

So I reload the saved game and use the same exact units, and set air to Mission Only (NO chevron arrow shows). No air support at all in the Combat Report.

Am I nuts?! This seems to be backwards of what help says. Am I interpreting the button that changes from Mission to Support backwards? I assume when I hover the mouse over this button that whatever the tooltip says is what is selected.

Support = auto help on land attacks
Mission = no auto help on land attacks.

It played right

It was my turn not the enemies turn. Support is for the enemies turn, how is this correct?

Then I am not following what you are saying.

You attacked with support and they flew in with the land combat
You reloaded
You put your planes on misson
You attacked and they didn't fly in with the land combat

What am I missing?



LarryP -> RE: Air Modes: Support vs Mission? (12/26/2020 2:18:14 AM)

Because of this in the help:
Full Support - Air units escort, intercept, and ground support on the enemy turn.
It says "on the enemy turn" and it's the allied turn, my turn.



AlvaroSousa -> RE: Air Modes: Support vs Mission? (12/26/2020 2:39:04 PM)

Ok so yes. If you have planes set on support and the ENEMY attacks your units they will provide intercepts and ground supports...

BUT...

If the air unit is less than ~1/2 strength or less than 50% effectiveness it won't. Otherwise it will get slaughtered in the air.

I think it's badly worded, as air units in Full Support mode will "escort, intercept, and ground support on the enemy turn" AND during your own turn, if they have enough effectiveness for both

Thank you!!! I keep tripping up over the help for Full Support, it says enemy turn. So I expect no help on my turn.
