Does weather affect air support? Am playing a scenario and weather is described as 'Heavy cloud'. Surely this would hamper air support and yet I've had a couple of air strikes go in.

Good question. At the momen it's up to the scenario designer to set the number of air strikes for each day and so they should factor in weather when doing so.

I'll add a task to our wish list to have the AI modify the chance of arrival based on the current weather. That would be more realistic. Thanks for raising this point.

Thanks for the reply. Can I ask how weather affects the mechanics (combat/movement) of the game?

I seem to remember June/July being mentioned as the release date for HTTR. Are you still on track?

TMO,

Yeh sure you can ask...

Weather's main effect is on visibility and movement. Visibility in turn affects sighting and firing, reactions to enemy sightings, reassessments, planning and so on. So potentially it can have a big impact.

We're still more or less on track. Yes the pressure is on.
