Tactical vs. CAS aircraft

[unmerged(88888)]

I am often frustrated when I see my tactical bombers attacking immobile and entrenched defenders (invulnerable to ground attack mission) in a province when a retreating army in the same region (adjacent province) presents easy pickings for ground attack aircraft. Is this a bug? Do dedicated CAS do a better job targeting?

Thanks again.

TAC is best on interdiction missions and CAS on Ground attack.

And this is the way that the air targetting system works -- get used to it.

why do you think tac's are better for interdiction, cas has higher attack so they hit harder. Targeting systems targets the province were is the smallest amount of enemy troops in area.

Well, indeed the airsystem isn't as smart as it should be (nor allow you to give more specific targets), but if you are experienced in this game you know that you have to combine ground assaults with airstrikes for maximum effect. That way it doesn't only target the divisions in battle, but if you advance well enough, will only attack retreating divisions, because there are little or no alternatives. Indeed you wil have to live with it. It is not ideal, but it works if you plan well.

Not ideal? Absolutely stupid if you ask me. That along with the downgrading of sprites to a single-level system are two baffling and idiotic changes paradox made from HoI to HoI2. :wacko:
