Anti Air infantry initiative is too high

Yes, it is the freefall bomb.

Also, it would be nice to have it in several sizes... I'm posting some data regarding this idea here:

Well, durring one game , I saw a ASCOD Rapier SAM unit capture my territory. It might have been my inmagination but when I look at its stats in the equipment file at ASCOD Rapier SAM unit, it confirms what I saw, which is that it has no "No Land capture" flag active.

You are right. I just went and checked. Two of the ASCOD AA units where not marked No Land Cap=Y. There are where actually a few others that had been missed also

They are all fixed now, none of the AA units will capture land after the next update... assuming I don't miss any new ones

UPDATE Units SET No_Land_Cap="Y" WHERE Class = "AA"

What happened to the project of converting then unit list to MS-Access?

Too many other projects

I once creaded a program which \converts a excell sheet into a relational access databases. Let's see if I can find it again

I already have pre-update 3 units in an Access 97 table... Its very easy to import

AGM-12D Bulpup B and AGM-154APW JSOW are getting shot down by a M113A1 infantry btn, nothing else is in range. Only a very few missiles go thru ... It's anoying!

That is y u fire enough missiles so alot get through. I think around a 100 at once works nicely.

Course that's just me. I have been known to freeze the game nearly with so many missles flying around.

Yeah, but the point is that an infantry battalion has the ability to intercept and destroy very fast (2000+ km/h) and very small (check http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/bullpup.htm) missiles.

If my math is correct, the M113A1 btn only had about 1 minute (probably less, because I working with data from my memory) to detect, track, fire at and destroy the AGM-12D.

Can you send me a savegame of this? I'll see what we can do to fix it.

Draken · Post by **Draken** » Oct 25 2005

I don't think I have a saved game, but I'll reproduce it tonigh in my current map...

Post by **Balthagor** » Oct 25 2005

In my "Fog of war mod" I correcting this problem by lowering AA capability of infantry by 20% and increasing ground defence of cruise missiles depending on their maximum speed
