"Weak vs. Aircraft" is kind of ambiguous, so I replaced it. Instead, I specified which units can attack aircraft by giving them a separate line reading "Can attack Aircraft". All entries of "weak vs. aircraft" have been removed.
Provided more explanation, eliminated ambiguity.
Where necessary, I wrote "cannot target aircraft" instead of "weak vs. aircraft", since the latter is ambiguous.
Since Chem warriors are awesome vs. everything, I think it would make sense to make them not quite as awesome vs. buildings. There is a bit of a lack of dinstinction between chem and flamers, and right now it doesn't appear to players like it makes much sense to build flamers when you can build chems instead. This will keep "burning buildings down" as the forte of the flame throwers.
The chems will still be decent vs. wood, but not as crazy as they have been.
To give some units a chance to escape, limiting RangeLimit of these rockets. Basically it is because if you get within range with a vehicle, but then quickly turn around to get out of range, the missile will follow you for quite a long ways, well beyond its initial range. There is currently no way to escape the missile. This allows a unit which is very fast to stand a chance of escaping a shot instead of having no chance.
This tree cluster looks like it should be passable through in this cell. Looks fine in testing, even though looked like it might be wrong in map editor.
Apache, for all its greatness, doesn't do very well at one of the things it's supposed to do well, namely take out light vehicles quickly (humvee, artillery, MLRS, etc.). Apache is required for Nod as a reliable way to take out MLRS, but currently it doesn't do enough damage to take it out with its entire payload (which takes 4 seconds to unload, to boot). A single Apache should be able to destroy an MLRS, if it gets the chance.
If anyone thinks the Apache needs nerfing, I would suggest looking in other areas besides its damage vs. light armor.
Also, does anyone object to removing the AG/AA distinctions for helicopters? They don't seem needed anymore.
Artillery was recently buffed, but I think this makes the fact that they can currently fire at close range is not appropriate. I think artillery should be vulnerable to units that are able to get quite close, instead of being able to fire at them and do massive damage.
The reason min. range of 2c896 was picked is that when you set min. range to 3c0, it is not able to fire exactly 3 cells away. Perhaps the behaviour should change so that 3c0 = 3 cells away.
(For comparison, MLRS has minimum range of 3).
Play death sounds with a new PlayVoiceLocal so they don't use full volume regardless of position relative to camera.
Adds option for alternative burn and zap death sounds.
Renames RenderInfantry's UseInfantryDeath trait to SpawnsCorpse.
Removes hack from ra desert shellmap.
I opted to lower the power consumption for SAM instead of restoring the
original power values for FACT and PROC since those two are available to
the player as well and they would behave slightly different in this
mission than in other ones.
-Palette for decorations can now be defined under SelectionDecorations trait.
-Adds pip types Ammo and AmmoEmpty.
-LimitedAmmo PipTypes are now customizable.
-Adds art, sequences and rules entries for TS mod decorations that were missing/using a wrong palette.
-Adds PrimaryBuilding trait to TS weapon factories and helipads.
Machine gun seems to be under-performing vs. infantry
Give it 5 bursts instead of 4. Will allow it to kill E3s more effectively.
Despite this change, overall damage vs. Light armor is not increased since Release.
After playtesting, it seems the grenade is a *bit* too slow. Keeping it slow, but bringing its speed from 5 -> 7. (Original value was 12)
Looks reasonable.
Also giving 100% vs. infantry instead of 90%.
The recent armor change for turrets made airstrike no longer killed it.
Made Napalm do more damage to Heavy (and light); made Vulcan do less damage to Heavy so that airstrikes don't do too much damage to advanced towers, obelisks and SAM sites.
Units which cannot target walls (sandbags, chain-link fence or concrete) any longer:
Minigunner
Flamethrower
Hum-vee/Nod Buggy
Flame Tank (can still run over sand bags and chain-link fences)
Civilian
[sniper--already so]
