how do 12 planes on the ground take out 6 planes of higher research on patrol, or 3 destoyers and a battleship reaserched out to level 1 take out 6 battleships researched out to level 3. Im in 1st place but i dont even feel like playing anymore tanks have no disadvantage in mountains 2+ days to build a bomber to get wiped out in 3 hours by planes on the ground what defence does a plane on the ground have its simple none but these planes sitting there took out my whole fleet of level 4 bombers that took 2 and a half days to build there just seems to be a lot of things off i wont be joining no more 1.5 games

planes idle on airfields (In both current CoW and 1.5) will be able to defend themselves as if they are in the air, if the planes are refueling or taking the form of trucks then they cannot defend themselves nearly as good. As for the battleship problem assuming the enemy was a active player they could have been using some gold to keep their units alive.
or he was just the better naval playerDante Bugler1 wrote:

the "problem" that planes on the ground defend like they're midair is also existent in 1.0
also: idk how many times that has been said; but if you have feedback to 1.5 post it under the official thread
ive played 140+ games and planes on the ground do not defend like planes in the air if they do i must be losing it. ill keep a close eye on it and get back to you. also why would planes on the ground defend the same as air, in every war they try and hit your planes on the ground cause they are defenceless. just ask the russians in the start of the war ww2 germany invading russia the germans almost crippled the soviet air force because they were all on the ground. That is a fact not something im making up i also believe that in the gulf wars one of the 1st objectives was take out aircraft and runways for total air supremecy. Just thought id enlighten you in case you were in the dark on those facts. i assure you that he is not a better player cause better players cause me to re think my game and learn from better players whats the point of baiting a player into attacking you so you can hit him hard when the planes are on the ground its a strategy used by many good players i learned it from them anyway have a good day and thanks for the responce
as far as i know only during refuel they dont behave „normal“ aka they don’t defend back thenohno420 wrote:

as for why that is so? idk easiest answer would probably be lazy coding
but its def a thing even in 1.0 cuz i remember actually taking dmg while patrolling above parked asf
is it a bug? is it a mechanic? that uncertainty is pretty bad imo
Well, they may have AA on ground but planes certainly do not fight back.
planes in 1.0 and 1.5 both defend themselves through a sort of "scramble" mechanic allowing them to get into the air and defend themselves, the only times planes cannot defend themselves as good is when they are still refueling or in truck form.ohno420 wrote:

As already mentioned.
If a plane is refuelled and appears to be sitting at an airbase.
You have to assume that the plane is battle ready,in the air and will defend itself.
To make matters worse, if the province has fortifications.
The planes will get that added bonus.
Well the fortifications make sense. There probably are AA guns
search lights, barrage balloons
Actually you can't use gold during a battle. If there were any subs involved in the battle that could have been the difference. Subs eat battleships. At least in the 1.0 version.Dante Bugler1 wrote:

naval battles are different. Because they are fighting from ranged you can use gold to keep them alive. Same with artillery and SP artillery, just as long no unit gets into close combat with the ranged unit on e that happens then you can no longer use gold to keep them alive.Balhog wrote:
