Can someone explain to me what the Evasion(100) that every Stealth bomber starts with actually does? In XML, it sets the promotion field EvasionChange to 100. But it seems like this has no effect on anything. It doesn't make me immune to Interception, because when I air strike a Destroyer (which BTW supposedly has only a 40% interception chance), it fires back EVERY time. It doesn't reduce damage by 100% because I take damage EVERY time. To add to the confusion, there is a totally different, earnable, promotion called just "Evasion" (without the I). This is the only one you'll find anything about in the 'pedia. It says merely "reduced damage taken from Interception" by 50%. And it sets as different field, called 'InterceptionDefenseDamageModifier'. No matter how you slice it, Evasion(100) doesn't seem to work. They also give it to Guided Missiles, which are supposed to be un-interceptable. But Nuclear Missiles, which are also supposedly uninterceptable, have only Evasion I, which is "50". So are they interceptable half the time? Ok, I have yet to test missiles for this specifically. Maybe the stealth bomber never should have had this promotion, it's only intended for missiles?
Theory 1: Perhaps its reducing the damage I would otherwise be taking on the interception. But how much reduction is '100' then?
Theory 2: Perhaps it only works against actual enemy planes set on Intercept mode? I can't test it, because the AI will never build a plane, it seems. Any takers for testing this in multi-player?
At the very least, the bug is non-existent documentation...
Screenshot wouldn't help, save is heavily modded & somewhat obsolete.
