For example a helicopter that dont need to be in base every turn cannot fly over water.Comment

you would have to re-code everything that works with airunits , ..... and that is going to be costly , ..

Well, except for that one shot down in Bosnia (Serbia?). Stealth aircraft do give off the occasional radar return, just not enough to be considered anything more (by ground controllers ) than natural phenomenon.
That was to do with a French general leaking the flightpath details to the Yugoslavs, consequently a Mig was lying in wait. And people wonder why the Americans prefer to go it alone??"Bite my shiny metal ass" - Bender B. RodriguezComment

Sounds like another internet story. Why would a Fr Gen know the flight path? Where would Yugos get a mig and a pilot? If is was true, the outrage here would be huge. The least you could expect is a courts martial for the general. More likely it was just luck. People refuse to except that strange things do in fact happen, even though they defy the odds.Comment

isn't the stealth paint job, i.e. the RAM ( radar absorbing material ), affected by bad weather - esp. rain? IIRC there was some story a while back about rain damaging the RAM and making the stealth fighter a lot more obvious to radar?Comment

AFAIK, the Stealth fighter shot down over Serbia was downed by random AAA fire.

Stealth Aircraft can be detected by certain sensors, because the United States has only used thier up-to-date stealth craft on out-of-date systems there is little real "test" of these craft on modern systems.
The United States has systems that can detect stealth aircraft and Sweeden was the first to design a system that could defeat stealth. It is thought that most of Western Europe have these systems (Maybe Poland, Russia, PRC, and Japan too)

Re: defeating stealth
Something to do with cellular bandwidth (and satellites?). A stealth aircraft will "cast a shadow," so obviously there would have to be special equipment to detect it.Comment

Calling it a 'Stealth' aircraft is a misnomer: the F-117 has an extremely small radar signature, yes, but it still leaves a vapour contrail, and there is enough heat from the engines to allow for a close range IR guided weapon to target it.
Technology is a wonderful thing, but over reliance on any one system will lead to disasters eventually. Even WW I sound ranging techniques that were used by the Canadian's at Vimy would very accurately spot a low flying F-117, enough to allow AAA to knock it down. The only thing is, no one uses such an old technology...
I used to check up on planes and stuff in Janes all the time and it never ceased to amaze me just how small a tactical advantage the latest changes within a technology give in combat.
In this game, I still think bombers, nuclear submarines and surface ships should be able to carry cruise missles, and that you can transport them in a boat between continents. After all, if they only have a range of 8, they only serve to cover choke points around your primary continent, and that's about it. I could easily live without the kill ability, but then it should be flexible enough to bother building...
But that's what the editor is for, eh ?

Off original topic:
Another comment on stealth. Australia's Jindalee Radar Network can apparently detect current stealth aircraft see http://defence-data.com/features/fpage37.htm
On topic:
I hope they don't bring back Civ2 aircraft. But they do need to improve aircraft. Longer range, and need to take into account all anti aircraft units and facilities between base and target. This will then require pathing to allow avoidance of anti air...
It could get very complicated, very quickly.Comment

Do you really want to sign up for more micromanagement?Comment

just heard from the history channel that the radar signature is that of a bird.Comment
