Fighter Questions

  • Hi All,


    I have 2 questions I need help with:


    1. In one of my games, I destroyed the airfield but the bombers/fighters in the air that took off from it did not die, they simply switched airbase to another airfield. Is this normal?


    2. How do you fly in such a formation?


    Flying in this formation makes the fighters invincible. They are stacked but flying in singles. Anyone experience that?


    Thanks!

  • Yes it is normal, if you use Gold to burn down opponents airfields they will simply 'teleport' to next nearest airfield


    The fighters are split formation all attacking same target, looks very strange to me on this Revamp display, screen shot says 25 planes in the 57th fighter brigade so they started out together and then your opponent did his splits, if he splits 25x1 prior to take off it would show 57th, 58th, 59th 60th, 61st, 62nd, etc.... I like to witness it myself then I could better get grasp of how your opponent is accomplishing this, Banner Display is so hard to read


    Are all of these your accounts?

  • Thank you Hastings for answering my questions,


    How is it possible to split a fighter formation after takeoff? I double checked and you can read different numbers on each plane with difficulty as they are bunched together. It looks like he used a hot key to split his fighters prior to takeoff quickly. It somehow turns his planes invincible and we are unable to shoot any planes down even when we have superiority in numbers! Do keyboard hotkeys even exist for issuing orders?


    None of these are my accounts, Totenkopf ie death head is a popular nickname.

    The answer is that he put take off everyone one before one. This why is like this. I had a friend what did like that but with simple troops.
