I swear to god there is a "sticking" going on in many games. AI that goes to sleep, UV reinforcement routines that get stuck in a cycle, groups of bombers that decide to do nothing.

Another version of sticking?

I have 6 B-17s plus 2 B24s (approx. 60+20 ac) in Port Moresby and ordered them all to attack ground forces in Lae.
After a few days I noticed that although they did attack every day it was strikes containing 5-6 B17s escorted by maybe 30 P38s. At the same time I could see strikes out of Port Moresby towards the bases in Lae made up of maybe 75 B25s.
At this stage I went through all the heavy bomber units in PM and once again ordered them to attck ground forces in Lae and the next day there was a heavy attack made up of a reasonable amount of aircraft (don't remember all the details because I played this about a week ago and couldn't find the save file until today).
I've got aviation support (even 5th Airforce), supplies (not pink or red) in PM so I don't know why it behaved like this. I'm sending the file to Erik with this info anyway.

I have noticed that heavy bombers seem to fatigue faster than light bombers, and that after the second and third days they seem to only send 5 or 6 bombers out rather than the 40 or so that are base at the airfield. I have now found that by resting the LRB every second day for maybe one day, or even two, that when they are next tasked with a mission the full amount will usually launch.

I use to rest my units at about 40% fatigue but in this case fatigue is 0 for all 8 units. I guess it's because they haven't been flying for a few days.
