I have the option set for battle odds to always confirm, and yet I've noticed that occasionally air units will attack without asking for odds to be confirmed. Is this a bug? ... or is it just that air units don't confirm?

BTW, if asked for, I could provide a saved game and details surrounding my latest incident of no odds conformation.

I have notices that if you move to attack something (a unit, a base, what have you) and there is an opposing air unit on scramble [shift-: command], odds will not be calculated but your unit will enter combat with the opposing [air] unit on duty. This seems intentional on the part of the designers. Does the above describe what you have experienced?

No, in fact, I was attacking a Gaian transport outside of a base.

I just hate that you can't (in my knowledge) confirm odds in multiplayer (really stupid).

1. Odds sometimes don't display:

Yeah, I've noticed you don't get odds when attacking locusts.

2. No odds in multiplayer:

If you still need your training wheels, you're not ready for multiplayer

Seriously, the "capture cheat" is prevented by not allowing odds. Until a more permanent fix is devised ...

I've won severel times on transcnt ironman and I still use that traning wheel. Particually it is nice to get a shoot at capturing native units without having to figth them afterwards
