So I had a battalion of about a half dozen heavy tanks supported by 15 or so infantry who attacked a town and the only units in that town were a dozen bombers and a half dozen fighter planes - no land units. In real life, I would expect tanks to annihilate planes on the ground, however the reverse happened. The planes took hardly any damage, and my battalion is gone. Is it just me, or does this seem wrong?

It's not, we have an ongoing thread about this. Devs have this as a "feature" and heated discussions have been going on

WARNING! This so called 'feature' is not likely to be removed in the near future. Use SPAA or AA to shoot them out of the ground (lol).

Shoot planes out of the ground, that sound so weird but it's actually a thing.

That's why it's even weirder!

That's why I used it. It sounds so wrong yet so right.

You should first conquer the province with the planes. While conquering them the airfield will get destroyed(if you attack with tanks) and then attack the trucks and it will take like 1 min for you to destroy the trucks. You can allways bomb the airfield with a missile and then attack the trucks with your tanks.

That's one way to put it, but I would prefer using your own planes, more efficient and less res compare to using rockets.

I had a game, where the enemy had defending a province with 7 fighters and 7 tactical bombers, all with lvl 3 and all just standing on the ground.
I attacked with about 20 tactical bombers lvl 4, and in 3 hours i lost 11 of them, while he lost 3 fighters and 3 bombers... So i wouldnt count on the own airforce in this special situation.

It's not completely fixed. I had Poland with one interceptor fighting the entirety of the UK's army (I was Italy) FOR 6 DAYS. In Warsaw. AND THE BRITISH HAD CAPTURED WARSAW. Neither side took damage till today (day 13) and the Polish plane was destroyed.

so its not THAT fixed then.

Yeah, agreed.

Its a good thing they decide to look it up, then arguing it as a feature.

I'm sure that they listened to one out of dozens of people complaining about it.
