Airbase Status vs Sorties Fragging

The relation between Airbase Status vs Sorties Fragging can be describe from either point of view.

1/ Top-Down approach (Airbase Status point of view) :

• Status level of Airbase is driven by the status of its Features* (Runway, Tower, Fuel Depot, Buildings, ...)

  • The more buildings (Features) are destroyed, the less is the status.

  • Once sufficient features are destroyed

    • status will be 0% and the Airbase will "shutdown"

    • HQ will not frag new Sorties, but planned sorties will continue

    • unless Runways are destroyed

  • If the Runways are destroyed

    • the Airbase will "close"

    • all planned Sorties will be canceled

    • no new Sorties planned until Runways are repaired & Airbase Status become higher than 0%

2/ Bottom-Up approach (Sorties Fragging point of view) :

• Status level of AirBase drives the Sorties Fragging :

  • When it comes to 0%, the AI HQ stop Fragging new Sorties, except for Interception Flight (if the runway itself is not destroyed).

  • But you can still manually plan Flights/Packages if there is sufficient Aircraft in the Squadrons (if the runway itself is not destroyed).

• All Fragged Sorties will be launched :

  • Regardless of the actual reported Aircraft remaining in Squadrons.

  • Until the Runways are destroyed.

• When Runways are destroyed

  • All Fragged Sortie are deleted.

  • Manual planning is no longer possible.

• The more buildings destroyed, the more resources are needed for reconstruction
