FSAHoops Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Quick question, I couldn't see it elsewhere, but I've had 5 hours sleep over the last 48, so sorry! Question is: local air support is incremental now. Is it a tray of 5 fighters per increment, so 20 tokens at 1500+ points? Or am I being a dumbass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccabeus Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Yes, deployed as trays of 5. Your 20 (4 wings) is at 1501+ FSAHoops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSAHoops Posted July 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Had a feeling it was this. Just with the wording of SAS and SAW getting mixed around a few times I wanted to double check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazduruk_Bugzappa Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 The current absolute maximum you can get is 5 squadrons of local air support. 4 for a 1501+ mfv, plus 1 more from the air superiority commodore trait. FSAHoops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSAHoops Posted July 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Of course! I forgot about that trait!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonmoa Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Then... how many SAS do you have to deploy if you are playing a 1250 ponits' battle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erloas Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Page 86 has it: GAME MFV LOCAL AIR SUPPORT 0-750 1x Fighter Wing 751-1250 2x Fighter Wings 1251-1500 3x Fighter Wings 1501+ 4x Fighter Wings Gonmoa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushpop Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 If you have a carrier can you retask local air support to torps/dive bombers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time you cannot retask SAWs is if they were deployed as CAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushpop Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 whats the deal now with deep diving and stratospheric flying models? No one has the rule (I just checked 80% of the unit cards) does that mean all large size and above can occupy this height band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has the rule (I just checked 80% of the unit cards) does that mean all large size and above can occupy this height band? Page 73. Stratospheric Height Level – This Height Level is as close to the edge of the Earth’s upper atmosphere as it is possible to get! Models may never deploy at this Height Level unless otherwise stated in their Profile. In addition, no Small Aircraft Squadrons (SAS), Small Models or Tiny Models may ever occupy this Height Level as it requires specially adapted propulsion systems to operate this high up. and page 74: Deep Diving – This Height Level is as deep in the ocean as it is possible to get! Models may never deploy at this Height Level unless otherwise stated in their Profile. In addition, no Small or Tiny Models may ever occupy this Height Level as they would be crushed under the extreme pressures that such depths create! That is now the only restriction to entering those height bands. So any medium or larger ship can go Stratospheric or Deep Diving if they can fly or dive respectively.

Wolfchild Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 That last sentence needs to be in the book (thanks @Erloas): 'any aerial medium or large model may occupy the stratospheric height band' but must be deployed in flying or or obscured. No tiny, small or SAS may ever occupy the stratospheric level. 'any medium or large diving model may occupy the deep diving height band' but must be deployed in diving. No tiny or small may ever occupy the deep diving level. Spartan pls make your wording less ambiguous. U need to specifically say what CAN do things, not just hope that it's implied.
