Couple of more items that I like about this patch so far that I will post at 1:54am East coast time. The first is the range function on the planes. I have to admit I bumbled around in the dark on getting this to work and posting this here for any that may not have known like me . Basically, for every one hex out it will be 30 points. Thus if you want the plane to fly only 4 hexes out(radius around the airbase if you will) you would put 120 in the group range for the aircraft(the 4 will auto fill in when you hit return after the 120 input). You will then see 120(4) in the box as seen in this photo. So 5 hexes would be 150(5), 180(6), etc, etc, etc. I hope this helps anyone reading this since I learned the hard way . I like this function and I believe this came about from a recommendation from Dinglir from our game last year (whom I hope is doing well after his incident) and thank you Morvael for putting this in. Really changes things in the Airwar.

Last is Soviet AA can actually shoot down planes now. ST and I were testing something out(aircraft range issue) and I asked him to bomb the port. Well he did and we were both surprised by the amount of aircraft Soviet AA shoting down aircraft. You have to realize that first ST didn't want to bomb the hex since I asked to check something (or maybe he did and I didn't realize it). In patch 1.11.0 and earlier Soviet AA couldn't hit a piece of paper taped to the end of the muzzle of the AA gun. When I saw this number I SH*TZ my pants!!!!! I do like this patch upgrade but also want to make sure we have good numbers too to be fair.
