How to reorganise air wings since update?
I might be missing something obvious but I can't see how to reorganise air wings with the new update? It sets to 100 by default and I can't see how to change it up or down (just want to create a smaller recon wing)

I dont think you can lower it below 100.

Yeah all air wings is now the size of 100

Can you not increase them either? Seems a little odd, not sure how I'm supposed to have specialist air wings now

Fixed air wings EXCEPT transport planes, CV and maybe naval bombers but i am not sure.

Other planes like Bombers and Fighters are fixed size @ 100 per Air wing.

But you can put your special planes and make them only get reinforce with your elite models.

Recon wings are size 10, not 100.

I have built multirole Spitfire PR... still has guns as well as camera. Net result - it gets to be created with wing size 100. Tried to remove guns on adjusted model - but I actually can't... so how is this supposed to work?

Produce a dedicated Recon. Recon wings are sized at 10.

It's OK to add cameras to bombers and fighters if you want for more recon but these wings are sized at 100.

I will note the 100 wing size is excellent. I'm very happy Paradox made this change. It is more realistic and makes a lot of sense.

Also, I love the way the theaters and air groups can be used a couple different ways. Even though theaters are normally geographic, I set my Air Group theaters by "Type of Plane". Fighters in one group, CAS in another, Tactical Bombers in another, Recon/Transport in another and I assign each carrier's planes to their own "theater".

I found this very helpful in quickly finding planes as you click a "theater" and on the left, the airbases for that "theater" [ really a plane type] opens up to scroll through.

This really made it work very well for me. Now with Army and Navy theaters, i keep those theaters geographic as is standard ... but the AIr Force, the way I restructured the use of the "theaters" and air groups has been one of the best new changes I have done to my game and play style.

Carrier wings are now fixed at 10 planes, like recon wings.
