Subject: Re: stack planes on same field
>Does anyone know whether there was a limit on how much planes can be on one position?
I just tried it with 4 Airplanes ... well, I think there is no Limit, but I don't know it exactly ^^
>And what happens, when someone fires on the position? Is the highest plane hit? Or all? Or randomly?
One Avac got destroyed by a mobile AA
>It is not possible to send a plane directly on the position of an other plane, right? Only when it happens, that one planes runs out of movemant points, it can stop over an other plane.
It's also possible with Shift-click.
1. Plan a route with Shift-Click:
2. send another Plane there:
3. select the first plane again and press "Done" :
>How can individual planes of a stack get selected? I the maxr mouse style they would be cycled with the right mouse button. How is this in the original?
Just with Left Clicks.
1st Click: 1st Plane
2nd Click: 1st Plane Menu
3rd Click: 2nd Plane
... etc.
As Enemy its not possible this way to select other planes than the first - that should be different in maxr.
>Anything else I need to know about this feature?
Take care with the Landing Pads. Only 1 Plane can land there, the other ones fly above it. all "ground-target" things can target (only) the landed airplane such as attacks or infiltrator disable/steal.
You can not land on enemy pads, but you are standing on one if you steal a plane on a pad.
The other Planes don't land there automatically
