Aircraft Land Attack Value

New to MH (recently bought MH Gold as the price was very reasonable, and should fill the gap before MH II is released).

Have a question on understanding land attack values for aircraft (be they fighters or bombers).

For example I have 1 basic fighters. Land attack value for a basic fighter is suppose to be 5%

Why then is total land attack value for the stack of 1 only showing as 2? shouldn't it be 5?

Do you have a decent arms stockpile? It may be a shortage penalty if not.

arms stockpile is fine. Tried a different nation / new game.

Early bombers same sort of thing. Land attack for a light bomber is 10%

Look at the stack Land Attack value and it shows 4.

Air attack value all make sense, e.g. Air attack value for an early bomber is 3%, and the stack Air Attack value is 3 as you'd expect.

isn't the value of the land attack an absolute number, and the 10% is a ... percentage. Maybe that is the difference?

Not sure. As all other stacked combat stats all seen to make sense e.g. Land Attack (for ground units), Land Defence, Air Attack, all seem to be quoted as a percentage for individual units, the total sum of which for the stack is just the sum of those percentage values (used as if they were absolutes).

But for Land Attack for air units for some reason the stacked Land Attack value is somehow derived differently. And I can't see how it has been derived.

Even though the resultant stacked Land Attack value for bombers is reported as being significantly lower than I would expect, a stack of bombers still seem to be highly affective at attacking ground units.

never saw a percent in this game yet, land/sea/air attacks are absolute numbers, only percents are arms shortages...

All I know is when attacking my ground unit (yes I know we are talking about air) will do 35 attack, and the enemy will do 20 defense, battle begins- me: 35 vs. enemy: 20
