Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
- • Fighters that are not assigned to a non-ground support AD are no longer auto-intercepting enemy ground support . Fixed.
• Frozen units can be transferred to TBs. Fixed.
• There is a way to transfer aircraft without miles travelled being charged. Fixed.
• It was found that one of the functions that calculates the range between hexes could return invalid ranges. This was found when a unit at the corner of an air superiority box was not properly covered by the air superiority fighters. Fixed.
• The CR/Equipment/Aircraft compare window was not scaling. Fixed.
• Text in the Battle Report Detail/Air Combat tab is smaller than other text. Fixed.
• Under some circumstances, when the Astrakhan to Baku rail is cut, a large portion of the Soviet Caucasus became isolated when it shouldn’t. Fixed.
• When clicking on the show combat recon button, the show city recon graphics are shown at the top of the screen (instead of show combat rec on). Fixed.
• When pressing shift-t repeatedly, it only toggles between combat and city recon and does not turn off the show recon. Fixed.
• Air unit range circles are not correct. Fixed.
• AI – Improved a move to routine used by attacking AI which will make it more likely to attack units in the way.
• AI – Improved filling gaps in the defensive line.
