AA and ai planes

[Colablikje]

loving the alpha so far and im super hyped up about the future of this game. i was just curious if there would be aa and ai controled planes in the future. nothing playable ofcourse but especialy in the campaign i can imagine that planes to fight would add a huge dimension to the game

Typical plane sortie, one every four hours, and once planes get involved surface combat all but disappears.

CVs and aircraft may be best left as an off map asset IMO. And then leave the actual strikes to the AI (assuming it can handle it) maybe let you as the admiral select the Target or allocate sorties to attempting to silence enemy CVs.

For land based aircraft having strikes against combatants can probably be best abstracted to the campaign map, whatever that ends up looking like, depending on the air superiority and mission assigned to a task group. So something like Force Z in December, 1941 would be more of a pop up then a battle.
