Air casualties from naval strike missions not showing up on the UI

[Misaka_Complex]

Apparently land based planes which are assigned to naval missions do not show up as casualties on the UI once they get shot down in naval combat. Is this intentional or is this a problem with the UI?

Pretty sure it's a bug, and it's not the only issue with the naval combat report. Sunk ships are also frequently missing from the main list and only visible in the details.

 

[Sleight of Hand]

If you click on the naval tab and view 'ships lost' you will notice that it doesn't show ships lost to air units, just other ships... this is why it is common to notice ships missing, as a huge number of ships are sank by carrier aircraft and naval bombers.

This has been reported several times, but has still never been fixed AFAIK.

I also get a bunch of naval battle results where something was "supposed to have" happened but nothing is displayed on the UI at all. What are these supposed to mean?

That's naval strikes against convoys.

Since amount of planes max allowed to attack is determined by total strength of fleet I am guessing they are bugged in some way (perhaps convoys are not coded like warships are), and as such 0 planes are allowed to attack the "convoy fleet".

I think that is a fairly recent development. In earlier versions I specifically remember smaller NAV or CAS wings doing partial damage to convoys, like 15%. You could see this accumulating to become 30 and then 45 etc. as the convoy continued on its way through the zone. The partially damaged convoys would get a free repair when they reached port, however.

I had determined that the critical point with NAV 1 to get whole kills instead of partials on convoys was 80 planes more or less. I do agree, however, that I have not seen such attacks lately. At some point (1.3.0 I think) they seem to have lost their ability to hit convoys.

Logically it probably must have happened in 1.2 when IIRC these stacking limits for naval strikes was added ( together with air superiority requirement for port strikes ).

Now that you mention it I do remember seeing airplanes hit convoys in the earlier versions of the game.

Yeah I remember that as well but it was in previous versions. I have seen Stuka divers sent on bombing missions over the English channel hitting convoys but they don't seem to happen anymore with Torch.
