Quick question on timing

[Gunner98]

Hi guys

Am setting up the AI in a scenario and have some A/C with a Day only attack configuration. If I set the mission to activate at 0:Dark:30 will the game do the math for a dawn strike? (Dawn at target - flight time - launch time = take off time) or will it launch them in the middle of the night, let them go to the target and dance with the SAMS just to go home loaded and running low on fuel?

I've got a hunch that the second case is true and the scenario designer needs to do the math so a couple bits of info would be useful:

-Cruise speed in the DB, max speed is there but other than inserting an airborne A/C of that type and checking F2 I'm not sure how to find it.
-Some sort of indicator in the weapons DB on how much light is needed for that weapon to act effectively and what is the cost of cutting corners: i.e. 75% daylight minimum, 20% degradation of PH for every 5% less or something - not sure how light is modeled.
-Solar tables, but I can find them
-Sharp pencil, calculator and strong coffee [:D] got that

Thanks
