Airplane bombers... Not bombing... ?
Backed up my troops with some aircraft capable of strafing and bombing. The thing is, they are not actually doing that. I saw it bomb a bunker once.. and thats it. What am I doing wrong here?

Are you ordering them to attack specific ground vehicles or troops? If so, they'll abort their attack if they lose sight of the target. It's better to have them attack the ground position (default "T" button") where the enemy is. This also allows you to predict the impact point when attacking moving enemies.

Thats the weird thing because I did just that on some non-visible artillery units... They flew around, it showed that they were going to attack that area but they never let go of the bombs. Tried out Auto Strike thinking that I was doing something wrong but, nope! Lots of the red lines to targets clearly staying in view but no action...

Wierd? That's the new effing normal. Air is awful. What did Eugen do to it to screw it up so bad?

The status of the bombs every time they flew over target said "holding fire" or something right before they went to attack but then "Ready" when they were not approaching.

It has been driving me nuts and I'm not sure if this is a new issue or not. I didn't have this issue in Steel Division 1.

MadMat confirmed that there was an issue with Air combat in the last patch, and that a hotifx was in the works. Perhaps your issue is a reflection of that (although I have to say, my Do-17s and A-20 bombers seemed to be dropping bombs as normal, on my end.)

Yikes... Had the AI handle the air units this time around and they rarely ever came out and when they did, they would do their thing but that whole battle they only took out 3 units.

Excuse me Gritt, are you still having problem with the same issue? It seems that interceptors and stukas are back in working order on my side since the patch 32807.

This is to do with the Russian fighter / bombers that you get at the start of the Orsha Army General campaign.

Not sure of what they are called but they do have Air/Ground cannons and bombs of multiple sizes.
