Did the test mission with the spitfire. It took 4 passes before it dropped 1 bomb. It did not drop its 2nd bomb after 10+ passes. :/

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.
