Naval Bombing is not working

[wazzul]

My naval bombers are not attacking anything. Subs, Surface ships, or convoys. Before the patch they could kill ships but now they don't engage at all. I am Italy with level 3 radar everywhere, air superiority, and even subs paroling. The allies are free to kill all my convoys with out a plane in the sky or any loses. Is this a work in progress to try and balance it more or is something not working correctly?

I checked again to make sure they aren't even joining naval battles between two fleets.
I tried it with the British fleet just sitting in the province and with it running naval missions in the province and nothing.

I had a naval battle yesterday at Rabaul, where my land based naval bombers did join. Not full scale - I had around 200 bombers or thereabouts, and only about 18 joined the battle. This was a SAG battle that lasted around 5 days, so, you'd think all the bombers should have eventually joined...

In 1.2 Paradox added a limit based on the size of the fleet targeted ( so it's impossible to doomstack 1000 planes and annihilate a single submarine or destroyer inside combat for example ). Similar limits also apply in Port Strikes and when planes support land combat ( the bigger targets the more planes can join ).

So if you had only 18 planes it was probably a quite small enemy fleet engaged.

It was Japanese AI fleet of 1BB, 8HA, 2LC and 32 DD. Facing my fleet, as Australia, 1BC, 5 HA, 5 LC and 2 DD. I claimed a victory, but also had to retreat when the BB entered the battle.
