How to totally dissable planes from the game?

[Arotished]

I'm so tired of that ALL (99%++) of the battles being fighting incoming planes that I wonder if it is possible to disable planes in total? Or especially landbase planes?

I mean, if I was fighting a big "swarm" of planes from time to time, that would just be fun but the way the AI works at the moment, sending 1 and 1 planes/squadrons at you at the time with "seconds" between each engagment, over and over and over again, is not any fun at all. It is more or less impossible to get ship to ship battles in campaign.

Yes. A stream of single planes all flying along the same path doesn't make much sense, but that's what the AI does. I think it's a scouting tactic, but it doesn't work because they all get shot down one after the other. The AI also uses carrier based fighters as scouts which is not good now that the carriers no longer have unlimited aircraft.

To disable all land based aircraft, open the setup.txt file for that campaign and change;
"aircraft0Numbers":[4,0,0,4,4,0,8,4,0,8,8,0,8,8,8]
"aircraft1Numbers":[4,0,0,4,4,0,8,4,0,8,8,0,8,8,8]

to

"aircraft0Numbers":[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
"aircraft1Numbers":[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]

Thanks! But I hope you are looking into this "issue" the prevents the AI for spamming the player with so many single planes...

Scouts fly alone, in order to permanently shadow contact and to bring formations closer, several planes are needed. Here the player has to provide his own air cover. It is shown very well in the game what happens without air cover

I'd actually throw a party if somehow, some way we could have any resolve for air battles like the total war game series, all the engagements when my scout planes are detected is a real drag and eats into my play time, espically for fighter to fighter to fighter combat and for air battles i know i can't win like a scout plane vs 10 enemy fighters that are faster than it.

if you dropped into battle i'd be nice if there was an abandon or conceded the battle button knowing you'd lose it anyway.
