It's one thing if his planes are faster, but if yours are they should be able to flee the fight. As it stands you can't order them away until the other guy runs out of ammo so you're forced to just lose aircraft. Very frustrating. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I at least try to let them know I am reloading them. Plus I like to pair my fighters up. So take note. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This really shouldn't be a "feature" at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

24 PaperArtillery Beta Testers 151 posts 581 battles Report post #6 Posted September 1, 2015 When a CA's Attack Plane has my Fighter plane engaged in this scenario, that's a real pain. Yeah, that was the issue I was having. My fighters (out of ammo) wouldn't disengage and return to the carrier due to a spotting aircraft, and then the enemy fighters caught up and killed my entire flight.

Fighters get stuck halfway through the attack, stop the attack, and won't shoot back because they're still in the mindset of doing the air assault. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
