  • Plane return speed

Hi guys, I haven't been on NFNA in a long time, but I decided to ask this question
here, as NFNA is much more knowledgeable when it comes to game mechanics.

What controls how fast planes return to their CV? I'm talking specifically about
bombers, although I think it affects all plane types. I'm sure you all noticed that after
releasing their bombs, the planes return to the CV at varying speeds, even between
planes of the same squad. I've seen IJN T2 DBs return so fast that T3 fighters can
barely keep up, and sometimes they are so painfully slow that your CV almost
outruns them.

This can, of course, be worked around my manually telling them to move to your CV,
but this requires more attention to be paid, mostly because you will have to tell them
to land at some later point.

I know that the planes' remaining health is not what decides their return speed.
That, of course, would be far too logical. So, does anyone know if there is a way to
make the planes return at maximum speed?

No, sadly they are not. Maybe if we poke dampre enough he can do them again.

Hi v2. My account is in hibernation, so my name in your fleet roster would only be for
decoration :)

Too bad about the plane speeds. I never figured it out, but I was hoping that someone,
somewhere did. Its such a strange and unfortunate "feature." I'd love to know how the
exploiters do that, if only to understand the mechanic and perhaps be closer to finding
a way to avoid this problem.

Oh well, thanks for answering.

Some kind of bugg when they return. However, I have seen exploiter abusing it.
You can increase the chance of it happening.
Applies the same when they take off.

Its just stupid buggy AI. Something you might notice is t4 fighters getting chased down by
T3/T2 or other stupidity like that. The only way to control this stuff is to manually
return them.

Also join TTF for FF lulz :D
