Title: [DONE] [Suggestion] Remove dogfight minimum distance (8 km)
Post by: Vangrimar1 on July 20, 2018, 07:47:24 am: The aircraft can not attack in aggressive mode if the range of the weapon is less than 8 km. What a nonsense! This also applies to UFO interceptors, if the range of UFO weapons is less than 8 km, it can not approach and attack.

Post by: Meridian on July 20, 2018, 12:55:46 pm: By "UFO interceptors" you mean "hunter-killers" or just any UFO?
If hunter-killers then no, they go automatically into aggressive mode.

Also, 8 km was chosen as a minimum distance deliberately... otherwise the dogfight graphics look weird.
The fact that you can go below 8 km in standard (and also cautious) attack is a bug... a bug that nobody noticed, because no one has set such a short weapon range yet I assume.

Post by: Vangrimar1 on July 20, 2018, 01:58:23 pm: Yes, I meant "hunter-killers". I wanted to add ground fights to my mode and faced such an unexpected problem. I consider the distance of 8 km too great for such purposes. And I do not see any problems in the visual display of the battle, they still pass very quickly. Is it possible to remove this restriction by 8 km?
