After reading carefully the manual for the original SH3, GWX and the forums, I came to the conclusion that people are afraid of planes quite a lot.

During my old playthroughs many years ago I came to realize how true it was.
But now that I have a new PC (well decent at any rate, a dual core, a decent graphics card, 4 GB Ram, standard issue), I noticed that aircraft is very, very scarce early in the war!

What I mean is 1939, 1940, even the beggining of 1941.

I have attempted to spam radio reports to BDU close from the British Isles, Guadalcanal but to not success. It seems they simply 1) Don't have the planes, since they are busy fighting off the Axis in Africa and the Dover Cliffs. 2) Can't find me because radar isn't in the equipement yet. 3) The Allies aren't able to decode messages from the Enigma code machine yet.

These things may be possible, perhaps GWX simulates that, perhaps I have a bug. Or maybe it's just Murphy's law?

I want to see aircraft in my campaign just out of curiousity at least. The training mission seems to have them. What am I doing wrong?
