Launching missions from carriers?

[orox]

Can someone please tell me how to launch bombing missions etc. from a carrier?

You have to wake the plane first. For all intents and purposes, it's fortified on the carrier. So wake it, and then you can do your bombing missions, et al.

Thanks for responding. How do I wake it? I can't figure it out.

Right-click on the carrier, then select the plane you want from the list.

Besides just waking it, you have to send it to a target. You don't just use "go to". I'm not sure what the shortcut keys are, but there should be a couple of buttons...one for targeting a bombing run and the other for just rebasing the plane to a different location.

B is bombing run, R is recon, Shift-R is rebase, S is Air superiority, but I can't remember the others.

And P is Precision Strike.

I think Air Superiority only works if you turn it on AFTER your carrier is finished moving. Bah.

Unless anyone knows a way to fix this? It's kind of a pain in WWII in the Pacific sometimes...
