Suggestion for plane defensive skills while on the ground

This is a suggestion I have:

If an opponent has 10 fighters sitting on an airfield and I hit them with Tac Bombers and/or Fighters, shouldn't they lose planes? How can the grounded planes shoot down my planes, that are "bombing" them from the air?

I don't know if it's possible within the game set up, but the defensive capabilities of air planes on the ground, should be significantly less than they are in air.

People talk about adding "realism" or "historical" elements to this game. Shouldn't I be able to "Pearl Harbor" someones airfield and seriously damage, if not WIPE OUT the opponents air power, at that particular air base?

Just a thought from someone who's been playing 3-4 months. :whistling:

Quite true, @Quasi-duck. I believed something along those lines was also done in Crete.
Nope. Paratroopers only there. It was Ju-52's landing on the strip at Crete. They didn't do much besides resupply and reinforce troops on Crete.

That's it.
The past is a foreign country.

Leave irrelevant things out of this. This is a strategy game, it should be not bothered with individual units placement, crew readiness and other stuff you mention.
Pointing out the fact that this is a strategy game, where simply understanding the basic behavior of units, how the numbers work within the game and how properly applying this knowledge to the clicks you make with the mouse can lead you to victory, is a futile endeavor with these armchair military aficionados who are much more interested in the invisible men that are not really there :)
