How do you set your preferences?

But only get scout planes every 3rd battle.
Could increasing air sorties give me more chance of air scouts?
Man!.. i love the air scouts when i can get them

FOR CAMPAIGNS---Increasing the sortie number/rate, IIRC only increases the possible amount of sorties you'd receive when you get airstrikes. The chances of getting airstrikes are based on the country and timeframe you are Campaigning in.

Scout Planes are considered a sortie, so if you get 5 sorties and you buy 3 Scout Planes you'd only have 2 Airstrikes left.

Personally I have no luck with the danged things and they only serve to increase my enemies AAA kill rate.

With spotters, you have to start them in more or less a safe zone and move them toward the enemy edge of the board each pass. Usually, you run into AAA on the fringe of their engagement range (not overall range) and can survive. At that point, you use artillery to take out the AAA and start the whole process over again.

They do work better on meeting engagements, delays and defends, however. The AI doesn't take much in the way of SPAA units, so they eventually run out from under the towed AAA umbrella and your spotters can function safely.
