Rebase distance limit

[wervdon]

Can this be modified in the editor or is it hard coded to always be 3x's the aircrafts operations range? I don't see any options for it, so I assume its hard coded.

3x's seems to make sense so if its not moddable I don't guess its a huge loss. Twice operations range because you don't need to make a return trip, a bit more from carrying extra fuel instead of bombs.

The only reason I noticed is that it seems a bit high when in my current game (standard size map), I am able to rebase normal bombers from one continent to the other without using carriers or any of the island bases in between. However, I was going from west coast of the eastern continent to the east coast of the western one, so its not like it was totally opposite side of the world (more like 1/3 of the way across).

Was that limit added with PTW? I don't remember ever hitting it, but due to lack of spare time I've not used aircrafts that mush in PTW, (or maybe it is that I never tried to do a to long rebase )

Its added with conquests. I haven't run into it yet, only place i've seen it referred to is here:

Tavis actually says its 6x's the range, and if so I don't think its even going to be a factor on anything but the hugest maps (or if the operation ranges are all modded way down).

That explains... I thought that noone would have hit a limit added with C3C as of now. But as you didn't hit it it's understandable...

Unfortunately, I believe that your assumption is correct.

That sucks. A lot.
