for the MA?


I thought fuel mod was 1.5, I may be wrong.

Tower range?  Dont get what you mean.

Downtime.  Downtime is different for diff things.  Hangers go down for 10 minutes I think, everything else on a base is 30 mins.  

Here's how strat works:   If you bomb the troops training area down to 0% still standing then all barracks bombed at airfields will take twice as long to rebuild, IE 1 hour.   The factory takes 30 mins to rebuild, however, if you bomb the city down to 0% then factories take twice as long to rebuild.

Normal MA icon range is 6k.  Short icons is 3.5k but is not used in MA.   Icon range when the target is under 500ft AGL is 3.5k.  Icon range to GVs from the air is 1.5k.

Killshooter:  Killshooter means that if your bullets hit another friendly plane then you suffer the damage that would have been done to him.  It bloody dangerous to shoot at friendly planes when you're cannon armed.

Was this what you wanted?

If I remember right, tower range was the distance in miles of which the local airfield radar would produce "dot" radar.

There's a file I put together with some help from others.

I've been lazy and haven't updated it since Feb/Mar.

From my best effort to make heads or tails of it, it is this way.

  fuel 1.0= is the rate U use fuel in time multiplier (ie. if it is at 2.0 U us twice the amount of fuel for the same distance and speed and throttle setting as U would at 1.0)
1.0 is the closest to the REAL settings that planes fly with, although some birds in RL like the B52 have a fuel setting of .50 cause they can fly forever. :P

 the Tower Range is the max range the Radar at that field can pick up a enmy or frndly dot.
 
 the down time is the amount of time destroied structures will stay down, before respawning.

 Icon range or  Icon short as U have it is set in 3 settings I belive short 3k before U see Icon of enmy planes, med which is normal icon settings in MA 6k Icon vis, and long range and thats out to 10k on vis on Icon about as soon as U see a dot thats when U have icon.

  Ah and the Kill shooter thats the freindly fire setting if its on the U take damage for shooting a freindly plane or vehicle if its off they take damage from your shots and U dont, like real life.  

  Its all pretty simple if U take a step back and think about it from a gamers point of view, hope I could have helped U out some. <S>

Hello Ghosth

I've been building maps, golfing and other things  hehe.

I've been slack on updating my arena setting file.  

About six months slack now.

WOW! time flies by.
