ORIGINAL: AcePylut I was under the impression that “any” air HQ would work for the air groups in its HQ range. I’d really like to know if there is an increase in “air group effectiveness” if the air group is part of that air HQ’s command vs “any” air HQ’s command. Like what Canoe asked… If my Air Group is part of the XX air HQ TOE, and the XX Air HQ is at this air groups base, does the air group perform “better” than if it would if the Air Group HQ was, say, the XIV Air HQ... ...because if it does, omg there’s a whole ‘nother layer of micromanagement to be done! No longer is it “slap an air HQ at the base and roll with it”. Now it’s “make sure the air HQ is the same HQ as the planes at the base” Back a couple of years when the forums were trying to figure out how to get better strike coordination, Nemo posted a sample of one of his strikes - perfect coordination of multiple squadrons flying different aircraft from various bases, and his sweeps came in ahead of the bombers. He wouldn't say exactly how he made it happen but the hints were that the Command HQ, Air HQs, squadron assignment to HQs, and base administration (which Command HQ they report to) were all lined up. I am sure he would also have paid attention to the Air and Leadership skills of the squadron commanders. But the developers have also said that non-aligned HQs will also help other squadrons - perhaps moreso with admin tasks like training, repair and replacement rather than operations.
