Patrolling from aircraft carrier

Does the aircraft move with the ship or does the ship have to remain stationary since the aircraft may then get marooned so to speak.....

I think if the ship moves out of the range the aircraft will just land back on the carrier. you will have to give it an order again.

Thanks. IIRC you lose the plane to 'eternal patrol' well that is what happened a few games ago, until days later a new carrier arrived to provide somewhere to land!!

Could you explain how that worked ? Patrols must always be tethered to some point on the map. If the carrier has moved out of range, were the planes tethered to a random spot in the sea then ?

In my experience, that has never happened. Naval bombers have always returned to the carrier as soon as the mothership moves out of range.

We're always looking for top players to play together and learn from. Apply to Tokugawa Bakufu ( alliance code : KIOTO ) if you are a like-minded individual and wish to improve your game.
Whenever feasible, one should always try to eat the rude.

This is the correct answer.

This is not the way the game works. Odd that you ask a question as if you don’t know, and then provide a wrong answer to your own question...

There is no need to be a clever clogs. It happened.

Indeed CoW is full of stupid bugs like this particularly moving airfields and landing on carriers.

So so frustrating. Considering I've helped fund the development costs it is damn irritating and makes the game more of a 'not quite finished but you can play' sort of experience.
