because we have a Matrix admission that more than 50 planes per side is a problem.

Huh? what is this problem, where is the report of this?

Hi, In stock game with Dadman total air loss combined is around 15 ac per day. And that is with Dadman fighting for every square inch of ground. Niether one of us overstacks.

It is from a programmer and I do not think it is posted. But it is something someone technical figured out and got a key programmer to admit is an issue. It may be fixed in the mod after next.

First, it cannot solve it in whole - because nothing in data can fix the problems in code - like planes with unlimited ammo and more than 50 planes per side causing the routines to not function as intended.

Second, it is not fixing it with correct data. It is generally better to come up with a definition that is meaningful and apply it.

Third, it does not address errors in the data structure itself: all weapons were given 300-500% too much range - and that should not be kept.

Finally - if you like it - use it - and go in peace. Not a problem.

It is by no means a replacement for necessary CAP and strike routine changes. Basically a bandaid, or in the case of the air model, an emergency tourniquet.
