Escort planes problem

[Bakta]

Hello,

I just like this mod since..well HoI1, but ran into some problems with latest (0.25).

- Playing US. I cannot attach Escort planes to any other group. I know there are some required techs for some trees (some hidden) but can't find the reason in this case.

In 0.25 the escorts were left out of the equation by mistake (fixed in 0.30), but easily solved by adding the following line to your mod-CORE2\db\units\divisions\strategic_bomber.txt, tactical_bomber.txt and cas.txt files:
allowed_brigades = escort

While you're at it you can solve the Vanilla bug that's causing speed issues as well by opening the mod-CORE2\ai\usa_1936.ai file in notepad (same goes for the other USA AI files), and change the following line:
683 # Hawaii into 663 # Pearl Harbor

Better wait for 0.30. Using the trick to enable escorts will give you super bombers if escorts are attached. The reason is they get improvements in org, strength or combat abilities by tech as if the escorts were normal units like in previous HOI2 instead of being brigades in DD.
