Title: Alert Base Under Attack
Post by: TwentyFo on November 05, 2007, 06:43:44 PM: What does "Scramble scramble enemies inbound" mean, or "Base under attack mean?" I know the meaning of the words, but are there any criteria for an audio alert to be sent out (i.e. More than 4 people attacking a base)? Please dont make fun of me for asking this question. All I ask is that you make fun "with" me.

It means that Somewhere a enemy con has entered radar range of one of your bases, I was once told the range on this was 5 grids.

Meaning that if any base within 5 grids of starts to flash then u will be alarted with this msg. Not saying I am right but this is going from my own knowledge and what I have been told.

Yup.

When either of those types enter the range needed to set the base flashing, you will get an audible warning.

This is not the Radar Ring that you can see visibly. Not sure what the MA settings are exactly, but typical default settings are something like 3 miles for Boats and Vehicles, 12 miles for Bombers and Fighters.

That's about half a sector out from the tower for the planes.
