Airfields, Airbases and Air defences

[irfanahmed1979]

1. How effective are Air Defence sites?

2. How many squadrons can Air bases and Airfields accommodate and what is the difference between the two?

[Balthagor]

AA sites are very effective

14 aircraft can land at either. Air bases can have units in reserves and are required for having fabrication.

[Hullu Hevonen]

If you build multiply 6 AA sites per hex will it have 6x the firepower?

[Balthagor]

yes, each one fires individually.

How many aircraft are there in a squadron?

[Balthagor]

Depends on the class. It's shown in the unit popup.

Balthagor ment 14 squadrons can land there...

I never understood AA sites. Why are them better than Bn of AD weapons units?
Why AA sites do not have "real" weapons from the database (e.g. Patriot missiles), so we can upgrade them from '50s techs to '80s tech weapons?

[Hullu Hevonen]

Basically the weapons sites are a 'site' of stationary missile post that can target and fire a bigger salvo of missiles than an Patriot or S-200 Angara. I think however that Air def sites should be suppressable, and put out of commission if bombarded enough
