How different Mods affect the aircraft occurances

[Der Teddy Bar]

The Airbase files specify how many of a type of aircraft is dispatched each time.

It was quite alarming to see some of Jace11's numbers. Jace11's Airpower is included in the HT Mod.

Here is an example of Jace11's Numbers. The second line, in bold tells the game of how many units to send each time
Squadron2Class=LBSSunderlandMKIII
Squadron2No=4 <== that is 4! FOUR Sunderland aircraft!

Then there is of course the AirStrike.cfg that dictates how often or the chances that an aircraft will 'fly'

[AirStrikeSettings]
; AirStrike Creation Parameters
; Airstrike Session:
; 1. Compute airbases in range according to their aircraft maximum ranges
; 2. Compute air coverage factors on allies/axis/neutral on the target zone
; 3. Compute airstrike probability from each base
; 3.1 check number of aircraft that can strike at that range and conditions, and compute a coverage factor based on the range of each aircraft type
; and detection area around submarine ( 10 km radius )
; 3.2 multiply coverage factor for the target area with :
; - current airstrike probability againt that side
; - nigft factor ( if necessary )
; - airbase competence
; - close to airbase factor
; 3.3 check probability for airstrike
; 3.4 add more aircraft probabilistically for a large target
