Default Re: Purchase of Aircraft for Core?


Whilst I think it is possible, the Designers made a decision at the outset of this Game that a/c were merely an adjunct to game-play, and would not be allowed to form part of your Core Force. It makes the game more realistic: certainly in WW2, "air" was a very hit & miss affair, with doubtful availability. How many operations were planned with air support, but for various reasons it never arrived?

Fog at home base; pilots got lost; etc.

Having said that: in SPMBT (after much pleading) it is now permissible to have helicopters in your Core.
