    • The short version:

      Planes on the ground are still planes, except for the brief refueling period

      so they will defend themselves the same as they would in the air.

      In this game planes are only vulnerable while refuling. Don't confuse alternate realities with this one.

      to quote myself

      If it looks like a plane, then it is a plane and will fight as a plane.
      Nowhere does it state that the planes at an airbase are actually on the ground.
      Just because the plane is shown on the ground, doesn't mean it's grounded. Planes in war have full combat readiness and unless refuelling, they should technically react even faster than the attackers.

      8| That gives me an idea. With the update to unit images coming with WebGL, it should appear that the plane is not grounded once refueling is done.

      But what happens if we launch rockets ?

      Currently = planes on ground can be destroyed by rockets and arti
      Your new proposal = automatic patrolling (after refueling) = cannot being hit by rockets anymore (except during refuel.)

      It's not only a graphic matter as it also affects the gameplay.

      Is that right ?

      No, Not patrolling. Merely a slightly different graphic with no changes to the rules of engagement.

      Yes, although the most damage is done during the refueling period, which would not change. Artillery and rockets are rather ineffective against full strength planes anyway in my opinion. This would not change.

      Yes. Again I don't consider it a wise use of resources to launch rockets at patrolling planes, as it typically works out to one rocket to kill one plane, but it has been possible. In theory the targeting of patrolling planes by rockets is on the list of things to be "fixed' (removed) currently, although I don't have any idea when that will be.

      In my (long ago) experience it even needs far more than one rocket per plane.
      So as you say it's actually very inefficient and therefore usually not expedient as a standard combat.
      But I would not remove it because it's in late game with large air fleets interesting and helpful.
      (..it may be a good, and sometimes perhaps the only, way to break hardened air fronts..)

      I agree with you on this Restrisiko. Sadly my opinion is not the only opinion.
