Continued from page 23:
...until the target is destroyed, a new
target is selected or the sensor is destroyed. Range of
sensor turret is 8 tiles. A tile is the size of a vehicle.

|
Sensor Tower: |
|
The tower automatically detects enemies
in range and then orders any attached weapons to shoot at
them. A sensor tower has a larger range than a sensor turret
(16 tiles). |
|
|
|
Counter-Battery Sensor: |
|
This sensor detects incoming enemy
indirect fire and plots where the fire is coming from. Next,
it orders attached indirect fire weapons to fire at the
enemy artillery battery. |

|
Detaching Indirect Fire Weapons From
Sensors |
|
To detach a unit from its sensor, hold
Ctrl while selecting the unit and issue a new target or a
move order. |

VTOLs |
|
The technology required for Vertical
Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft has been lost. Team
Beta is searching the Eastern Sector for it. VTOLs are
designed like other units, but are restricted in the types
of weapons they can carry.
Note: VTOLs cannot use the multi-target feature. |
 |
|
Re-arming Sites |
VTOLs require re-arming and repairing
between strike missions. Re-arming Sites perform these
activities. Each Re-arming Site can support any number of
VTOLs, but only re-arms one VTOL at a time. To keep your
VTOLs flying regularly, you'll need at least one Re-arming
Site for, every two VTOLs. |
|
Strike VTOLs |
VTOLs armed with weapons can be given a
variety of missions, and are able to target all units and
structures. |
|
Independent Strike Missions: |
VTOLs require a target to be selected for
them, otherwise they cannot attack. Strike VTOLs will not
fly into enemy territory without a selected target. One of
your other units must be able to see the target, or the
VTOLs must be able to see it themselves. |
|
VTOL Strike Sensor: |
VTOLs may be assigned to VTOL Strike
Sensors. Any target designated by the Sensor is assigned to
the VTOLs as their target. |
|
|
|
VTOL Early Warning Tower: |
|
This tower scans for approaching enemies
and assigns them as the VTOLs target. The VTOLs are
automatically scrambled to attack the incoming enemy. |
|
|
|
VTOLs Counter-Battery Sensor: |
|
This is similar to a standard
Counter-Battery Sensor except that attached VTOLs are
scrambled to attack the enemy artillery battery. |
|
|
|
Detaching VTOLs From Sensors |
|
To detach a VTOL from its sensor, hold
Ctrl white selecting the VTOL and issue it a new target or
move order. |
