I altered the airstrike.cfg a bit as was not getting many air contacts and it was frustrating. Seem to have right balance but its still early in the war lol.

Hi Bubblehead1980,


This is interesting to me! I'm currently trying out KSDIIAce, October 1942, leaving Bordeaux through the Bay of Biscay and now postioned west of the Canary Islands, heading toward South America: Not a single enemy A/C in 1 week!


I'm beginning to wonder, if there is something wrong with the airstrike.cfg settings. Don't get me wrong: It's not like that I want to be killed by A/C, but zero airplanes seems a bit "unrealistic" to me. Would you (or anyone else) have any ideas, what could be the issue?


Here are my current "Data/Cfg/AirStrike.cfg" settings (no changes made):

[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
