In a stand-alone battle you can set the buy up to allow zero, or a specific number of flights, or the default (XXX). Long campaigns always use XXX. |
I've done some tests; doesn't this parameter only influence the availableness of the number of flights and not that the AI really buys them? At least I did not recognize any difference after generating 4-5 battles after setting it to 3 (Battle Points 3000-6000). |
Only affects the maximum amount - not that the AI necessarily will buy 3 flights, if you allow it 3. Especially on low points like 3000. XXX might have allowed it say 6 if it were an air power like the USA. It still is unlikely to buy all 6 at those points - but try winding the clock back to the 1950s when planes are
cheaper. And some AI buys will have no planes no matter what the setting - e.g. Mujadeen, Iraq at some points in time.
