Air Units That Have Been Overrun

[canuckgamer]

Has anybody documented how strength points are lost when an air unit is overrun? Also, how many turns before the reduced air unit appears as a reinforcement? Thanks.

The strength loss it is half of what it was when overrun. The length is random and can vary a lot.

So I just tested because this is one that always drove me crazy.

It looks like the following:

Ground Support are in the build queue for 120 days.
Tactical Support are moved to the queue for 150 days.
Air Superiority are moved to the queue for 180 days.

They are gone for as long as it would take to build the specific unit.

Hi Stjeand,

Thanks for the info, but are you 100% sure? I seem to recall that some could come back quite fast (3-4 turns) in some rare case.... Then again, I might have just confused them with other units overrun earlier...

[stjeand]

Never had air units come back fast...

NOW shattered land units that is a different story.
Perhaps you are mixing those up with overrun air.

Nah I know for land units.

My confusion probably came because I probably had an air unit overrun a while ago in a game but it was coming back just a few turns after I had another one been overrun.

Thanks for the test.
