Healing Fighters and Bombers...

[dwlenkne]

Ok, I've tried just about everything to heal an aircraft, created an airport, flew the planes there. Flew the planes back to the build city, nothing! I even tried to build a hanger, and rebase the planes there.

I don't get the 'Heal' Icon that I get with ground units or naval units. What gives?

Every turn that an aircraft doesn't do anything, it heals. (There is a promotion that allows them to heal even if they do perform a mission.)

Hit your spacebar.

Many thanks! Who would have thought... Too bad other units don't act the same way. Say, if the unit is in your own territory, then unit would heal.

The heal icon appears when they are on a carrier... it makes it easier to ZZZ until healed.

They do. You don't have to hit the heal button, just tell the unit to skip their turn.

Press the button that says ZZZ it'll make them start to rest.

So the ZZZ button will make them heal? Heh, who would have known? I typically don't leave units lying around. They're usually running around killing things...

I only figured it out because I couldn't find any kind of fortify and heal (which I suppose doesn't make much sense for an airplane). So i just quit using my beat up units for a while and when I came back to use them they were healed. I just chalked it up to routine maintenance being included in the price.
