How do aircraft attack ground forces other than by moving into the same area as their target

Just let them with a non-passive order in a neighboring region of the fights and they will do what they have to do (bombing support of land troops).

Even if there is no fights around, they will to recon' mission and improve your detection value there.

Although it is French thread in eng,
but mostly bombers in the squadron aren't bombing enemy troops when positioned in neighbouring region. They are mostly doing Recon missions.
When my troops attacks the enemy, planes doesn't bomb either. Or it is not written in message log. Or I didn't understand how it works Do the planes need "marching to the sound of guns" by a leader in the same army corps as the attacker for more prob chance?

That was fast ! and I see no rust

Red planes have bombed my SW forces during a battle - there's a message- so it can happen.

It does happen but it is rare. I think the idea is that the relatively small numbers of aircraft involved in this war in combination with the very large areas covered means that they really can't deliver much in the way of actual firepower. So they may be bombing all the time but only rarely do they do some actual damage in terms of inflicting hits or diminishing org. Mostly they are useful for recon, increasing your detection level in neighboring areas.

I wonder if the aircraft values are moddable so you could give them greater range, striking power, more recon missions per turn, etc? Might be useful especially for the DNO scenario when, one presumes, the Germans would be able to deploy a significant number of relatively sophisticated aircraft. Devs? Is this a value that we can mess with?

In polish scenario I unchecked the AI and bring all the planes including bombers, fighters but no luck in bombing. I had also Drang scenario in mind. Against more fortifications and troops, planes would be more useful. Many planes in the scenario. And armies more orginized and deadly including planes I guess.

If the Drang Nach Osten scenario happen during 8 years till the late 20s, then maybe the planes will reach a 30's technology and values/roles need to be changed. But then we are in an other game still to be done by AGEOD , were the WWII techno' should be all simulated and balanced.

The only way to give them a realistic WWI role for me is the detection value improved (already included) and the artillerist ability for its stack (to be MODed).

In the second time (with a total of two air battle instances) the air battle results no loss for the other side. White Reckon plane destroying both the bomber and the fighter plane(described recon plane in element details) without taking any strength damage.
