That part of the map is difficult as there isnt much room. Especially to the South. I really think MG should have given us more room in France. 60 miles NW of London to 60 miles South of Paris and all the way East to the tip of Holland.
Right now for the other technical bit. You could have 9 bombers as part of a group (9 is max for a bomber flight) take off at the same time however they wouldnt fly well together and would be miles apart. Those Stuka, I can't make them each attack ther own ship. I had to make each Kette (3) attack a ship... The other alternative is to make each Stuka its own flight and have them attack a seperate ship... Then what you would have had is 9 Stuka flying in a massive stretched out conga line...
Imagine the nightmare of synchronising 3 bomber groups to one formation from either the same airfield or different ones?! - Basically impossible. Hence airspawn out of sight of players is the best option. Also the time stamp on a way point is pretty basic. Its smallest unit is the minute, meaning it could be :01 or :59 seconds of that minute... You can fly along way in a minute when your ment to be in a tight formation.
So yes there are limits... It would nice if you could create an "air group" and said go here, then there and these are your tagets X, Y and Z. Then the air group could assign individual aircraft to targets depending on losses or prioity... But you cant
Another thing to point out is that the Stuka airspawn on TTime 10 mins into the mission at 500 metres before climbing to altitude. They started at the edge of the map to the South.
As for Airbases the RAF for some reason just didnt use as many as the Germans. Shame we dont have the Gladiator for the fleet air arm... Another Red base was opened on the Red side on request.
