Factories/installations?

Can these be captured/change ownership?

I see these installations and often think of bombing them, but I never know if I'll be dropping on my own sides' assets or not...

Short of popping down to see if the ack fires at me, any guidelines?

I beleive the assets remain with the original country the whole time. All the way to a reset. If it was an enemy asset before your team/country captured the real estate I feel fairly confident that you can bomb these at will and they don't change ownership.

Mark has it right, they don't change ownership and can't be captured. However, thats no reason to ignore them. They do impact the game in several ways.

We all know that if you bomb the HQ, you can knock out a country's Radar. However the HQ rebuild time is tied to how much of the city is destroyed. If the city was flat the radar will be down for 2.5 hours.

Flatten a country's training facility and it can take hours for a troop barracks at a local field to rebuild.

Get snefens maps, they do a great job of showing all strategic targets at a glance.

Thanks for the tips, guys.

It does happen that on my rare buff outings, I'm halfway to an objective, and I overfly one of these things. I've never dropped on one yet due to uncertainty as to which sides' assests I'd be damaging.

Should I indeed drop by mistake on a friendly factory, is there a buff "Killshooter" in effect?

Seeker, if you drop on friendly installations, no damage is done to you or the facilities.

Thanks Rip.

I'd been unsure of that!
