I was not doing any maneuvering. Just going straight ahead full.

Yes, most of the time planes AI is quite dumb. not much can be done about ti unfortunately. They do know to bite quite hard occasionally... They will become much more lethal in 1943 when they get rockets, if they actually decide to attack you...

I'm now in early January 1940. When approaching my first mission objective I receive this coded message from BdU, dated from 5 October 1939.

The problem is, now that I'm in 1940 I cannot access any sheets or code book from 1939. This makes the message impossible to decipher.

Any solution to solve this? Thanks!

It works! Thank you very much.

Found a typo (unless it was done intentionally to solve something?):

In Zones.cfg, zone types:

MB_WingsFront
HB_WingsFront

are set to be non-destructible, resulting in aircraft using these zone types (medium and heavy bombers) to be unable to have their wings cut off by AA fire.

Edit: also HB_WingsBack, so heavy bombers can't lose tail as well.

Thank Kapuhy

This is the main question... maybe some developer or modder changed this in the past to avoid some strange planes behavior. We are aware that when plane losses some of it's parts, most of the time physics and aerodynamic goes out of the window right away.

Hello


Could there be an issue with progressing from the VIIA to the VIIB? It's currently February of 1940, I have completed all of my missions and sunk the required tonnage, yet I still do not have the VIIB.
Weirdly enough, it's like my game thinks I have the VIIB. In the upgrades section when you go to "Camouflage Scheme", instead of a VIIA conning tower being there this is a VIIB conning tower, and below that is a VIIB boat!
That is my career stats at the moment, shouldn't that be enough to get me upgraded from a VIIA to a VIIB?
