Do Airgroups refill automatically

[UP-Cedric]

Hi everyone!

I have a question concerning Airgroups:

Do Airgroups in a certain region refill automatically from the reserves?
If I assign 200 Fighter to defend a region and some get shot down do I have to manually refill them from the reserves? Or can I set an airgroup on "auto-refill" that moves planes there from the reseves automatically as long as there are planes available?

Thanks

A very good question, I've been thinking about this too.

it is automatic

in the WWW streams you see 1000's of aircraft destroyed but they deployed wings stay up in strength as long as there are reserve planes

That´s great news, thanks for the quick reply.
I believe that "Auto-refill" will reduce micromanagement considerably.
So a player can concentrate more on executing plans on e.g. a frontline instead of micromaging much stuff.
Especially when you play as a country that is very large or has oversea territories managing airgroups can be a real chore.

You can set a reinforce limit and their priority. So you basically can deploy one (1) plane to each airbase and set their reinforce limit. They will fill up. If you lack planes it will show in the production windows.

Just imagine a world without auto-refill. It will take an entire WWW just to replenish the air groups. Also you can manually select how much aircraft you want in each group. So let's say you want 500 aircraft you just modify the air group in the air mode screen.

And this automatic refill works also on Carriers, regardless of distance from naval/air bases too?

in the last www he said that as long as you have them in reserve [aka built but not deployed] they will auto refil the same way land based aircraft do
