1.4.1 air wings not being issued orders

[Meglok]

1939 Germany has declared war on Poland, fighting has been going on for days now.

CAS wings sitting at airbases and not being issued orders to provide close air support.



I have even tried to tag to Germany and manually issue them orders to provide close air support over Western Poland. The ai cancels the orders as soon as it regains control.

@SteelVolt Something is not working correctly when ai Germany can't even get air superiority over Western Poland.

I have tried and find Eng and Ita don't use CAS either. Germany also don't use NAV.

Is it at least working if you turn AI off?

I have the same issue with my Axis allies having airwings in air bases but not assigning them to any order. I also managed to Romanian Sea Lion a UK which had 6-8k planes in storage with none of them flying on the English channel so I managed to easily Sea Lion them with around 1k planes for a paradrop.

I am having the same issue playing as England, in Ironman mode. In some cases the air wings accept orders, but those orders need to be reissued every 8-16 hours (or every 2 minutes of real time). Something seems to be seriously messed up.

Hi. I had a look at this and made sure it got logged in our internal database and we're looking at it. I did too find an issue where planes would drop their mission without player or AI input but it only seems to happen if they don't have an airzone assigned to them. Would you happen to have a save for where your issue was happening?

Tag around to Ger, Eng and Ita. Assign orders to CAS or NAV. Human_ai. Watch how the AI cancel the assigned region, but not the order. Wings appear to spent a lot of time in transit as they repeatedly rebase. This has been consistent in all the games I have started started in 1.4.1.
Jap CAS seems to be somewhat better off as they can sometimes bomb for a couple of days before transfering. Once I watched German CAS bomb for 3 days as Barbarossa started after giving a manual order, but that was an exception.

AI has been fairly haphazard about this stuff forever, but maybe it got worse?
OmgHax was are talking about this guy:

which seems to be saying its a thing in single player?

I haven't noticed wings canceling when under human control, but I haven't tested that in 1.4.1. Wings under AI control has certainly gotten worse. CAS and NAV is basically doing nothing useful.

Yes. I haven't played multi player yet. This is seriously killing my game play - either I choose the repetitive task of continually re-issuing orders to my air wings, or my units (and factories, and ships ... ) get clobbered by enemy air wings. For now I have basically stopped playing as it's made anything combat related a PITA.
