G'day Tony,
I have mentioned this in one or two other threads, and I don't know what your improvements on a/c deployment etc are in the final cut of the 1.03 or 1.04 versions, but my wish is seeing a/c lumped into container squadrons for easier management. I really dislike the manner the AI sends out 2 or 3 a/c strikes. I think grouping a/c together in 12 or + squadrons would reduce the clutter considerably.
Two other things that needs attention with a/c. I don't if I'm right here, but especially in carrier ops using sqns as opposed single a/c would reduce the need for the computer to track 30/40 a/c as opposed to 2 or 3 squadrons, would this equate to less computer energy being used?
1. this could put the AI side to a disadvantage if not fixed. In air strikes from British carriers the AI tends to send bombers only in a strike, because torpedo equipped a/c are slower than bombers, and AI won't mix the strike, however the human player if he selects Torpedo a/c first he can then select bomber a/c and AI allows this.
2. The AI has a tendency to use Marlets as bombers and not to send them on bombing missions as escorts, again fine for the human player, because he can edit the strike, but the AI can't.
