24 | Attack Bombers | |||||||||||||||||||
25 | A bomber that is designated an "Attack Bomber" will, when set to fly a low-level mission (5000ft and below), carry the plane's full bomb load on the mission. | |||||||||||||||||||
26 | Any non-"Attack Bomber" will, when set to fly a low-level mission, carry half the plane's usual bomb load. Fighters and Fighter-Bombers will carry a full bomb load for low-level missions. | |||||||||||||||||||
27 | ||||||||||||||||||||
28 | There are no Japanese Attack Bombers. The following Allied planes are designated as "Attack Bombers" : | |||||||||||||||||||

40 | Air Group Leaders | |||||||||||||||||||
41 | Selecting leaders for air groups is a fairly complex task. Most aircraft can perform multiple roles, so leader selection criteria must include consideration of how the air group will be employed. | |||||||||||||||||||
42 | • Pilot experience affects operational losses. | |||||||||||||||||||
43 | • Air groups with morale < 50 must pass a morale test before flying an offensive mission. If the test is failed, no aircraft will fly. | |||||||||||||||||||
44 | • Air groups flying Naval Search, ASW Patrol, or CAP must pass two morale tests before flying. Each morale test failed reduces the number of aircraft flying by 25%. | |||||||||||||||||||
45 | • Level Bombers must pass three tests before flying an offensive mission. Each test failed reduces the number of aircraft flying by 25%: | |||||||||||||||||||
46 | ||||||||||||||||||||
47 | o Experience test. | |||||||||||||||||||
48 | o Test against the leader’s Air Skill. | |||||||||||||||||||
49 | o Morale test. | |||||||||||||||||||
50 | ||||||||||||||||||||
51 | • Pilot experience affects the chances to find the target in a strike mission. | |||||||||||||||||||
52 | • Pilot experience affects air-to-air combat results. | |||||||||||||||||||
53 | • Leader’s air skill affects results in air-to-air combat. | |||||||||||||||||||
54 | ||||||||||||||||||||
55 | ||||||||||||||||||||
56 | CAP as Principle Role | |||||||||||||||||||
57 | This includes Fighters, Fighter-Bombers, Night-Fighters, and Float-Fighters. Assign leader using these priorities: | |||||||||||||||||||
58 | • Inspiration – Influences the number of CAP aircraft that will fly. Influences air group morale recovery. | |||||||||||||||||||
59 | • Air Skill – Influences the air-to-air combat results. | |||||||||||||||||||
60 | • Leadership – Influences the air group’s experience gain. | |||||||||||||||||||
61 | • No other skills or qualities have any influence. | |||||||||||||||||||
62 | ||||||||||||||||||||
63 | Offensive Missions as Principle Role (except Level Bombers) | |||||||||||||||||||
64 | Missions include Airfield Attack, Port Attack, Naval Attack, Ground Attack, Sweep, and Recon. Air Groups include includes Fighters, Fighter-Bombers, Night-Fighters, Float-Fighters, Dive Bombers, Torpedo Bombers, Float Planes, Patrol, and Recon. Assign leader using these priorities: | |||||||||||||||||||
65 | • Inspiration – Influences the number of strike and patrol aircraft that will fly. Influences air group morale recovery. | |||||||||||||||||||
66 | • Leadership – Influences the air group’s experience gain. | |||||||||||||||||||
67 | • Air Skill – Influences results in air-to-air combat. | |||||||||||||||||||
68 | • No other skills or qualities have any influence. | |||||||||||||||||||
69 | ||||||||||||||||||||
70 | Level Bombers with Offensive Missions as Principle Role | |||||||||||||||||||
71 | Missions include Airfield Attack, Port Attack, Naval Attack, Ground Attack, and Recon. Assign leader using these priorities: | |||||||||||||||||||
72 | • Inspiration – Influences the number of strike aircraft that will fly. Influences air group morale recovery. | |||||||||||||||||||
73 | • Air Skill – Influences the number of strike aircraft that will fly. | |||||||||||||||||||
74 | • Leadership – Influences the air group’s experience gain. | |||||||||||||||||||
75 | • No other skills or qualities have any influence. | |||||||||||||||||||
76 | ||||||||||||||||||||
77 | Patrol Missions as Principle Role | |||||||||||||||||||
78 | Missions include Naval Search and ASW Patrol. Air Groups include Dive Bombers, Torpedo Bombers, Float Planes, level bombers, Patrol, and Recon. Assign leader using these priorities: | |||||||||||||||||||
79 | • Inspiration – Influences the number of patrol aircraft that will fly. Influences air group morale recovery. | |||||||||||||||||||
80 | • Leadership – Influences the air group’s experience gain. | |||||||||||||||||||
81 | • Of small import, Air Skill influences results in air-to-air combat (aircraft can be intercepted by CAP, but this is unlikely). | |||||||||||||||||||
82 | • No other skills or qualities have any influence. | |||||||||||||||||||
83 | ||||||||||||||||||||
84 | Transport Missions as Principle Role | |||||||||||||||||||
85 | Missions include Supply Transport and Troop Transport. Air Groups include Transports, Patrol, and Level Bombers. Assign leader using these priorities: | |||||||||||||||||||
