Destruction of air forces upon province capture

[HelmuthM]

Is it possible to change the rule so that air units will automatically rebase when their air base is captured by the enemy?

Since the AI isn't smart enough to rebase the air wings when the province is in a danger of being lost, the current rule in DH leads to a very significant (unfair) advantage to the player.

This was a feature back in Arsenal of Democracy; however, it was removed because the AI used said redeployment to give itself sexual powers.

PS: i have no idea why it was removed.

Pumping the redeployment cue full with air-divisions has it's side effect as well, so does redeploying them to other air-bases automatically. None seem like very good for the competence of the AI.

In AoD, even though the game played noticeably slower due to the higher pc usage (and honestly, because the HOI2 engine is old), it was doable. The way it happened was that the AI would actually try and get their aircraft out of a close-to-the-frontline airfields before said airfield was captured. If it was captured, then the aircraft would lose 80% or so of their strength as well as all their org before retreating to the closest airfield possible. Its far more realistic than 'captured your airfield, your 2000 airplanes are dead'.
