MOVEMENT - SPEED OF UNITS

Fighter-bomber and level bomber Aircraft Speed: 1 pt of Speed for every 100 km/h (round up past 50)


Spotter Plane/UAV speed is equal to their normal air speed as calculated for fighter-bombers and bombers. The higher the number the wider the circle the Spotter Plane will fly.

Most are one because most fly under 150km/h and keep in mind, aircraft do not have to fly at their max rated combat speed to fly a spotting mission.


....and we found if the spotter planes fly too fast, then the circle gets too wide and they slide off the map so there is code that limits speed and circle diameter built into the game code- so it matters not one little bit if one has 6 speed....... the game will not fly them at that speed . 3 is the max


The speeds they have work well enough.

I could not find this info and was confused seeing, that almost all have speed 1. And does it affect a probability of being shot down?

Thanks for further clarification. It seems I got similar idea, however I thought about 4

As you wish
However, some might need small fixes, for consistency The Japanese have no spotter with speed 1, and the Polish with speed above 1, while the oldest US aircraft are the fastest.
